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?

You earn $97/month from the moment your referral pays Slate. That is earned, not yet paid. Deposits go out on the 1st of the following month, after a one-time 2-minute bank setup. We text you the link. Direct deposit via Stripe.

What if my referral cancels?

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

Does this lower my Slate bill?

No. There is no bill discount. Your invoice stays $297/month. You get paid separately by direct deposit, and the deposits cover your bill. 3 referrals = your Slate is covered.

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. First captured wins, and it holds for 60 days. If two partners share with the same person, the first one captured keeps the credit.

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
