NicheMatch credits: the fairness seatbelt for partner traffic
Credits are not why you partner — complementary fit is. Unique clicks cost 2 and earn promoters 2, so ongoing shoutout swaps stay fair without awkward DMs.
Credits exist so the swap stays fair
The reason to partner is overlapping audience and a different job. Credits are the seatbelt: they track unique clicks so one founder does not quietly carry the other.
Each unique click costs the provider 2 credits. The promoter earns 2. Repeat visitors and clicking your own link do not count.
How you get more
Claim 4 credits a day. Promote a partner. Use the allowance on a Nichestarter Basic or Premium plan. Or buy about 150 extra clicks for $5 if you subscribe.
- Promoting is the intended refill — you send attention, you earn credits
- Daily claim is a trickle so a quiet week does not freeze you
- Packs are optional when you want to keep a high-performing link earning
What happens at zero
We email the promoter when the provider is running low, and the owner when credits hit zero. The published URL still opens the same product. After 10 grace clicks, new visits are free until someone refills. Earning pauses; the redirect does not 404.
FAQ
Can I buy fake traffic to farm credits?
Unique-click rules exist so that does not pay. If it looks like gaming, it will not move the ledger.
Do unused credits expire?
Use the product: promote, claim the daily allotment, or keep a live card. Check the hub for the current balance on your account.
