How it works
Apply in the Lens app (Settings → Affiliate program). We review applications within a few days. Once approved, you get tracking links for each platform or campaign and a dashboard with clicks, sign-ups, paying users and earnings.
- 50% of net revenue: what we receive after GST and Google Play’s fee
- Recurring for the lifetime of each user you bring
- Commissions are approved 30 days after each payment (the refund window)
- Paid monthly by UPI or bank transfer once you have ₹1,000 or more
- Links work through Google Play, so installs are credited exactly
Example
A user you bring pays ₹99 a month. After 18% GST (₹15.10) and the Play fee (₹12.59) we receive ₹71.31; you earn ₹35.65 every month they stay. 100 such users: about ₹3,565 a month.
Who it is for
YouTubers, Instagram creators, photographers, photography teachers, tech bloggers and communities whose audience takes photos and videos.

Questions
Do I need to pay anything?
No. Joining is free.
How is tax handled?
Under Indian law we deduct TDS (2% once your commission in a financial year passes ₹20,000; 20% if you have not given a PAN) and issue Form 16A. Add your PAN and UPI in the app before your first payout.
What if a user asks for a refund?
The commission for that payment is cancelled. If it was already paid, it is deducted from your next payout.
Is this the same as inviting friends?
No. Every Lens user can invite friends and earn +10 GB of storage per friend. The affiliate program is a separate, approved program that pays money.
