How Referrals Work on CGTrader

Starting June 2, 2025, CGTrader is introducing a new Buyer Referral Program that rewards you for bringing new customers to the platform. When a new buyer registers using your unique referral link and purchases your 3D models, you receive an increased payout rate of 85% on those sales for a full year.

To get started, locate your personal referral link in the Referral Program section of your CGTrader account. Share this link with potential buyers through your website, social media, email, or any other channel. When someone signs up through your link and buys your models, that buyer is tagged as referred by you.

Once a buyer is referred, all purchases they make from your store for the next 12 months will qualify for the 85% payout rate. This referral relationship is exclusive to you for that period and applies only to your models. Sales of other designers’ models do not affect your referral earnings.

This program is a valuable way to increase your revenue by actively promoting your portfolio and attracting new buyers to the CGTrader marketplace. You can track your referred buyers and earnings directly in your Referral Program dashboard.
