Refer a Client. Save 10% on Your Next Project

Know a company that needs software testing or development? Introduce them to QArea and get 10% of every invoice they pay as a discount or credit, for up to 9 months.

Your Reward at a Glance

For every company you refer, 10% of what they pay us comes back to you as a discount or credit. Your first referral earns for 9 months, and each one after that earns for 6.

Your first
referral

paid invoice

For how long: 9 months

Every referral

There’s no limit on referrals. Each one earns on its own timeline, so discounts or credits from several clients can stack up at once.

How It Works

From introduction to your first reward in four steps.

Introduce

Your reward period starts once they sign a contract and make their upfront payment. Rewards unlock when their project reaches the minimum for your chosen reward option.

Every time they pay an invoice, 10% of it goes to you as a discount or credit.
