Rewards and referrals on ZebraSnap
How to invite other photographers, earn ZebraSnap credit, and spend it to keep more of every sale.
At a glance
Every photographer gets ZebraSnap credit they can earn and spend. Credit doesn't go to your bank - it's applied automatically at checkout to waive ZebraSnap's commission on a sale, so you net more from it. Athletes don't earn rewards; this is for photographers only.
Your referral code
You get a short referral code and link in Settings → Rewards & Referrals. Share it with other photographers. When someone registers as a photographer with your code, they're linked to you as your invitee.
When rewards unlock
- The photographer you invited gets a $25 welcome bonus as soon as they register with your code, to use on their first sale.
- You (the inviter) earn $50 in credit when that photographer makes their first sale.
Amounts are in US dollars and may vary; the current values live in Settings → Rewards & Referrals, where you can also see which invitees are still waiting for their first sale.
Other ways to get credit
- Promo codes from the ZebraSnap team - redeem them under Redeem a promo code in Settings → Rewards & Referrals.
- Manual credit added by ZebraSnap (for example, support adjustments).
How credit is spent
Credit is spent automatically at checkout. When an athlete buys one of your photos, your available credit is applied against ZebraSnap's commission on that sale - not the Stripe processing fee. The buyer never pays more because of it; credit only reduces what ZebraSnap keeps, so more of the sale lands with you.
Credit doesn't apply to sales paid through dLocal Go. See Sell with local payment methods using dLocal Go.
Refunds
- If a sale that used your credit is refunded, the credit you spent on it goes back to your balance.
- If the refunded sale was your invitee's first sale, the $50 reward you earned from it is reversed.
FAQ
Where do I find my code? In Settings → Rewards & Referrals, along with your current balance and history.
Does the buyer pay more when I use credit? No. Credit only lowers ZebraSnap's commission; it can never increase what the athlete pays.
Do athletes earn rewards? No - rewards are for photographers only. Only people who register as photographers can become your invitees.
