The MedStands partner program is the right fit if you have customers, members, patients, or foot traffic you can point toward telehealth care directly. The affiliate program is the right fit if you would rather refer other businesses that then run those referrals themselves. Both cost $0 to join, and both pay a marketing fee to your bank account every month.
Here is how to tell which one matches the way you actually work.
What a MedStands partner does
A partner is a business that refers its own audience. You display a QR code in your space or share a personal link, and people who sign up through it are attributed to you. From there, licensed providers do the prescribing and licensed pharmacies do the fulfillment, refills, and shipping. You never touch medication.
For each person you refer who becomes an active customer, you earn a fixed marketing fee, paid to your bank every month for as long as they keep actively using the platform. There is no clinical work, no inventory, no prescribing, and no fulfillment on your end. Every request is reviewed by a licensed provider, and not everyone qualifies, so your role is simply to make the introduction.
This is often the first path owners picture: a medspa, gym, salon, or clinic that already has people walking through the door. If that sounds like you, the MedStands partner program is built around exactly this.
What a MedStands affiliate does
An affiliate refers other businesses rather than individual customers. You introduce a business owner to MedStands, they join as a partner and run their own referrals, and you earn recurring lifetime marketing fees, paid to your bank every month for as long as the businesses you refer stay active on the platform.
This fits people whose network is other businesses: consultants, agencies, sales reps, and anyone who regularly talks to wellness and aesthetics owners. You are not managing their referrals or touching any clinical work. You made the introduction, and the attribution stays with you. You can read more on the affiliate program page.
How to choose between them
The simplest test is to ask who you can reach. If you have a customer base, a membership, or foot traffic, the partner side lets you refer those people directly. If your relationships are mainly with other business owners, the affiliate side lets you earn by connecting them to the platform.
You are not locked into one lane forever, and the two are not mutually exclusive in spirit: a business can refer its own customers while also introducing other owners it knows. Pick the one that matches where your audience already is, and start there.

What both programs have in common
Whichever side fits you, the mechanics are the same. It is free to join, with no setup fee, no monthly fee, and nothing to buy. You never do clinical work, hold inventory, prescribe, or ship anything. Licensed providers do the prescribing and licensed pharmacies do the fulfillment, refills, and shipping on a LegitScript-certified platform. MedStands is not a medical practice and does not prescribe.
The earning works the same way too. What you receive is a fixed marketing fee set in advance, not a commission, not a percentage of sales, and not a cut of revenue. It is paid to your bank every month for as long as each referred person or business keeps actively using the platform.
