The Network

A creator marketplace
that isn’t a walled garden.

The OpenPartner Network is an opt-in marketplace where brands list their partner programs with public commission terms, and creators apply to the ones that fit. No exclusivity, no platform fee on creator earnings, and brands keep their data and relationships even if they leave.

What makes the Network different

A marketplace where the rules are visible.

Most affiliate networks own your relationships, control the rates, and take a percentage of every payout. We do the opposite.

Public commission terms

Every program lists its rate, lookback window, and approval rules upfront. No DM negotiations, no surprise rate changes, no "we’ll get back to you" black holes.

Brand-direct payouts

Brands pay creators directly through Stripe. We never custody, route, or take a cut of creator earnings. Your money is your money.

No exclusivity

Apply to as many programs as fit your audience. Promote multiple brands at once. We don’t lock you to one rate card or platform.

Self-recruited stays free

Brands pay us 3% on payouts only when the partner came through the Network. Bring your own creators? Free, forever.

FAQ

Common questions.

Who can join as a creator?

Anyone with an audience that aligns with brands on the Network — content creators, podcasters, newsletter writers, YouTubers, TikTokers, and beyond. We review every application before you can apply to programs.

How much do brands pay?

3% on payouts to creators they discovered through the Network marketplace. That’s the only fee on the brand side. Self-recruited partners are free, the platform itself is free, and no fee on creator earnings.

What if I’m a brand and I want to run my own marketplace?

You can. The federation contract that powers the OpenPartner Network is documented and open. Self-host customers can build their own coordinator, integrate with another marketplace, or skip the Network entirely.

Are creators vetted?

Yes. Every creator goes through review when joining the Network. Brands set their own approval rules per-program on top of that — vetting just keeps the marketplace useful.

When does it launch?

The Network is launching alongside OpenPartner v1. Join the waitlist for early access on either side.
