Sterling Design Affiliates

The Sterling Design Affiliates Network is where creators, teachers, and brands come together to share meaningful work — and get rewarded for it. This is a space for aligned promotion, thoughtful design, and growth that feels good.

If you love the kind of introspective, creative, and spiritually aware work that lives inside the Sterling Design Marketplace, our affiliate program invites you to share it with your audience and participate in the value you help create.

Commission structure & payouts

The Sterling Design affiliate program is built around clear, transparent commissions so you always know what to expect. Our structure is designed to reward aligned sharing, consistent engagement, and genuine resonance with the marketplace.

Our commission framework includes:

Base commissions on qualifying purchases made through your link
Tiered bonuses for consistent monthly referrals
Seasonal boosts during launches, holidays, and special campaigns
Higher commissions on select curated collections
Optional creator-to-creator referral bonuses

Payouts are processed monthly with a clear minimum threshold. Your affiliate dashboard will always show your current rate, upcoming payouts, and any active bonus opportunities.

Who this is designed for

The Sterling Design Affiliate Program is open to anyone who feels aligned with the marketplace’s values and wants to share meaningful, creative, or introspective work with their audience.

Whether you’re a creator, educator, artist, facilitator, community builder, or simply someone who loves the offerings inside the marketplace, you’re welcome to apply. If you share with intention, this program is for you.

Tools, support, and shared growth

Affiliates are not left to figure it out alone. As the ecosystem grows, you’ll have access to practical tools and gentle structure to support how you share.

Affiliate-ready assets

Pre-written copy prompts, product highlights, and visual assets you can adapt to your own tone and platforms.

Curated product recommendations

Suggestions for products and collections that naturally align with different kinds of audiences and containers.

Room for collaboration

As top affiliates emerge, there will be opportunities for co-created offerings, spotlight features, and deeper creative partnership.

Affiliate benefits and Sterling Design Token (STER) integration

The broader Sterling Design ecosystem includes the Sterling Design Token (STER), which may be woven into affiliate offerings over time — through special pricing, early access, or curated experiences for aligned holders.

As the 2026 marketplace expands, additional affiliate tiers, bonus structures, and token-aware benefits may be introduced. Any STER-related benefits will be clearly documented and optional, so you can participate in the ways that make sense for you and your audience.

Explore our affiliate partners

A dedicated Affiliate Partners Directory will highlight collaborators across disciplines — from artists and writers to educators, facilitators, and creative studios. You’ll be able to browse who we work with and discover new voices to follow.
