Frequently Asked Questions

Who can participate in the GitKraken Referral Program?
Any current GitKraken paid subscriber can participate and earn rewards.

How do I get my referral link?
GitKraken.dev: Click the referral button in the header.

GitKraken Desktop: Click the 🎁 (gift icon) in the bottom left of the status bar.

Note: If you are not a paid subscriber, the above links will not appear as the program is only valid for paid subscribers. 

After my referral signs up, how do they use GitKraken?
They can visit GitKraken.com to download GitKraken Desktop, CLI, or GitLens. They will also see these options after they sign up on GitKraken.dev under My Tools.

How will I receive my $20 reward?
You can choose to receive your rewards to your PayPal or Venmo account.

Before you receive your reward, you must set up your PayPal or Venmo account with Cello in the GitKraken.dev portal.

The referral is paid out in USD and you may choose to convert it to the currency of your choice if you would like.

You will receive your rewards within two weeks of a successful referral who purchases a GitKraken plan, and you can see everything you’ve earned by visiting the Rewards tab at any time.

You will receive the payment from Cello – a trusted, third-party referral partner platform we use to manage the referral program.

Is there a limit to how many people I can refer?
No! You can refer as many people as you want and earn $20 for each successful referral.

Can I refer someone who already has a GitKraken free account or is on a free trial?
Yes! If they use your referral link and upgrade to a paid plan, you’ll still receive the $20 reward.

Can I refer colleagues at my own company?
At this time, no. Referrals within the same private domain are not valid for referrals.
