Common Questions

When do I set up my bank info?

Only after you earn your first referral. We text you a Stripe link at that point. Takes 2 minutes. No bank info needed at signup.

When do I get paid?

Monthly on the 1st. Direct deposit via Stripe. Payouts start 30 days after your referral's first payment.

What if my referral cancels?

You stop earning for that one referral. Your other referrals keep paying. We text you so you know.

Is there a cap on earnings?

No cap. 1 referral or 100. $97 per month, every active referral.

Can I refer contractors from other trades?

Yes. Slate works for ALL trades: roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, painting, landscaping, more.

How does Slate know who referred who?

Your link has your ID built in. When they click and book, you get the credit. If two partners share with the same person, whoever they clicked first gets it.

What about taxes?

You are an independent contractor. Stripe collects your W-9 info during onboarding (after first earned referral) and issues a 1099-K if you earn $600+ in a year. Slate does not withhold taxes. You handle your own reporting.

Won't I be helping my competition?

No. Slate limits how many contractors we take in each market. Plus you can refer across trades. Your edge stays yours.

Know someone who isn't a Slate client but wants to earn?

Anyone can be a partner, not just Slate clients. Send them here: partners.slatesystems.io
