It Pays to Have Friends! Share Zenfolio and Earn Unlimited Referral Credits.
Pass along a 10% savings off any new Zenfolio subscription by sharing your unique referral code or link with all of your friends. Earn 10% of their subscription plan price as referral credit. Your referral credit will be automatically added to your account.
Watch your credits grow with every referral. The more photographers you refer to Zenfolio, the more credits you receive. There’s no limit to how much credit you can earn!
Please Note: In 2021 Zenfolio launched a new platform for new users to sign up for. The referral program described within this article is exclusively for the Classic Zenfolio platform and accounts created through our new platform will not be eligible for this referral program.
Here’s how it works:
- You share your unique referral code and/or link via email, social media, and/or word-of-mouth.
- Your friend uses your unique referral code/link to receive a discount off the Zenfolio plan that’s best for them (applies to new subscriptions only).
- Your friend just saved 10% off of their new Zenfolio subscription.
- You just earned a credit equivalent to 10% of their subscription cost.
Here’s a hypothetical example (with simplified numbers for easy calculations):
You share your unique referral code or referral link with your good friend, Bob. Bob falls in love with Zenfolio after your awesome recommendation, and signs up for a new Zenfolio plan that is worth $100 (hypothetical plan).
Bob uses your referral code at checkout and saves 10%, paying only $90 for the hypothetical plan. That 10% is given to you as a credit to your account. Since $10 is 10% of $100, the credit that you will receive for Bob's new subscription is $10.
With this kind of deal, you may want to spread the word and refer more friends. If, let's say, you refer nine more friends and they open each new $100 (hypothetical) plans; that would mean that by the time all of ten of your photographer friends sign up, you’ve now earned $100 in credits!
How you ask? Here is a breakdown of how those $100 credits would have been earned:
- 10% of $100 = $10 in credit
- Multiply that credit by 10 based on the friends that used your referral code
- So, $10 x 10 = $100 in credit
Your earned referral credits can be redeemed for plan renewals or for plan upgrades, to order prints or photo products, and/or purchase other awesome Zenfolio services.
Please note: Referral credits are not redeemable for a cash payout, but (1) there is no cap to how many times your referral code/link can be used by your friends to signup for a new paid account, and (2) there is no limit to how much in referral credits you can earn over the course of your time as a valued Zenfolio user.
The credit received is applied in the currency of the account type that your friend choose when they started their Zenfolio subscription.

You can also share your code via social media, through your personal email account, or or by displaying a hyperlink to your direct referral links in your Zenfolio website (if you think your friends would find it there).
Can referral codes be used to receive a discount on renewals?
The referral codes themselves can only be used to receive a discount on the first year's subscription of a new account. It cannot be applied to a current subscriber's renewal.
The photographer referring their friend to Zenfolio will receive a credit when their friend signs up for a Zenfolio subscription plan and makes their first payment. That credit can be used by the photographer to pay towards their renewals.
