Increased earnings share program

Note: This feature is still in the beta testing phase and is not available to all freelancers and agencies.

We are introducing a tiered increased earnings share model. With this program, Pro agencies will have the ability to get more money from Fiverr on their completed orders.

Understanding a business relationship

A business relationship is the total value of all orders you have with a specific client. It reflects the ongoing connection and trust you’ve built with that client over time.

While Fiverr typically charges a standard fee on each order, this program offers you the opportunity to keep more of your earnings as your business relationships grow.

It’s important to note that the fee is determined by the total current value of all your orders with a specific buyer, and within a specified period. As a result, your increased earnings share may vary depending on the strength of your relationship with each buyer on the platform.

How it works

As a Fiverr Pro agency, you can join the program by paying a $600 fee every 3 months. 

Extra earnings: The increased earnings share is determined by the total value of completed orders with the same client. We count your entire history with your clients from the past 3 years (or if you cancel your subscription and rejoin - from the rejoining subscription date).  This is what we refer to as a business relationship.

A repeat client is one who makes multiple purchases from you. Learn more about the repeat business score with this article.

Once the payment for the program has been completed, orders will still be deducted the usual 20% per Fiverr’s regular Payment Terms. However, on the first day of the next month after joining, you will receive the "increased earnings", i.e., your payback, for all the eligible orders completed during the previous month. 

Pro agencies will be able to see a dashboard with their increased earnings share and breakdown on their Fiverr account. In addition, Pro agencies will receive a report of the increased earnings share via email every month.

Program cycle

The program cycle is based on the calendar date when you initially joined. 

For example, if you joined on January 5th, your payment will start on January 5th and end on April 5th. Your next program cycle will be automatically charged every three months on the same calendar date that you joined on. 

Order history and program eligibility

When you first join the program, we consider your entire order history with each client from the past 3 years on Fiverr. This means all your previous orders during the preceding 3 years, are initially included in the program calculations.

If you cancel your participation in the program and later rejoin, you will lose the accumulated order history that was given to you as a first-time bonus. This accumulated history, which includes your transactions with repeated buyers, will not be taken into account when calculating your eligibility for benefits upon rejoining.

For example, if you had previously accumulated $999 in orders with a repeat client while participating in the program, canceling your membership would erase this total. When you rejoin, those previous orders will not be considered.

 

FAQs

  1. Who is eligible for this program?
    All Fiverr Pro agencies are eligible to join the program. Please visit Fiverr’s Help Center to learn more on How to become a Fiverr Pro freelancer, or How to become a Fiverr agency.

  2. What is the purpose of the program?
    This is a program that rewards you for building long-term, valuable client relationships on Fiverr. As these relationships grow, your fees progressively decrease.

  3. How far back does the order history go for this program?
    The order history for this program is determined as follows:
    When you first join the program, we consider your entire order history with each client from the past 3 years on Fiverr. This means all your previous orders are initially included in the program calculations.

    If you cancel your participation in the program and later rejoin, you will lose the accumulated order history given to you as a first-time benefit. Upon rejoining the program, only new orders placed after your enrollment date will count towards the program benefits - even if they are from your previous clients. Any orders completed before you join again will not be considered.

  4. Does the increased earnings share apply to new clients?
    Yes, the increased earnings share applies to both new and repeat clients. So, if you have a one-time order with a client that is over $1K or $5K, the increased earnings share will apply accordingly.

  5. After joining the program, when does it take effect?
    While your participation begins immediately, the increased earnings are applied starting from the beginning of the following month - up to 5 working days into the month after you join.

    For example, if you joined on September 5th, you'll receive the increased earnings on October 1st, then again on November 1st, and so on each month.

  6. Is there a minimum order amount to benefit from the program?
    No minimum order is required to benefit from the program. We calculate increased earnings based on your ongoing business relationship with each client. This means as your client relationship grows and you complete more orders, your potential earnings increase as well.

  7. When does the program renew?
    The program will renew automatically after 3 months unless you have opted out of auto-renewal.

  8. Can I cancel my auto-renewal?
    You can always cancel your auto-renewal option through your program page. If you are unable to do so, you can always contact Fiverr’s Customer Support for assistance. 

  9. Can I cancel my participation in the program?
    Canceling is available from your program page accessible through your Fiverr account. If you are unable to do so, you can always contact Fiverr’s Customer Support for assistance. 

    Canceling your plan will mean that you will not be charged in the next billing cycle. 

    If you cancel and rejoin, your cumulative order history with a particular repeat buyer will not be taken into account when calculating your eligibility for benefits. For instance, if you have previously engaged with a repeat client while being part of the program, and the total orders with this particular client were $999 -  canceling will reset this number, and rejoining the program will not rely on any past history with this client.
