What is an affiliate program and who is it for?

What’s the difference between the Automattic Affiliate Program and the Automattic for Agencies Program? Can I join both?
The Automattic Affiliate Program provides an opportunity for content creators, influencers, educators, businesses, or anyone with an audience to earn additional income by promoting Automattic products, including WordPress.com, WooCommerce Marketplace, Pressable, Sensei, WP Job Manager, Jetpack, and more. The program is designed for those creating content to easily generate commissions and earn one-time, lump-sum payments for every referral.
Automattic for Agencies, on the other hand, is designed for agencies who sell custom, 1:1 solutions based on a client’s unique needs. This would typically involve recommending, implementing, and managing Automattic products—including WordPress.com, WooCommerce, WordPress VIP, Pressable, and Jetpack—on behalf of their clients. The program has been set up to offer a suite of tools and services that streamline the website management process for multi-user teams and expand revenue opportunities through profit sharing and bulk discounts.
It’s certainly possible to join both programs, taking advantage of the benefits of each one to target different audiences, but members will need to make sure they’re following the respective guidelines. Agencies in particular should note that if they’re hosting a client’s site through their Automattic for Agencies account, they can’t simultaneously receive affiliate commissions for that same client. We recommend taking a look at the terms of service for more details.
