The verification business is volatile by nature. One day, everyone is buying up Telegram numbers because Pavel Durov dropped a new "Gifts" feature; the next week, demand craters because anti-fraud systems have updated.

This volatility hits your bottom line hard. Sure, you can make a killing if you have enough capital, but that capital can vanish instantly if providers fail to find a workaround and all your numbers get nuked in a ban wave. Telegram isn’t going to give you a heads-up when they update their security.

Many can’t handle working on the razor's edge of break-even, so they pack up and leave the business. But the connections and experience remain. In this article, we’ll explain how to leverage those assets and turn them into steady income through the Hero-SMS Affiliate Program.

The Hero-SMS Affiliate Program

To help you diversify your income and stop relying solely on the luck of your suppliers, we’ve launched a two-tiered affiliate program:

  • Referral Program: for those who want to earn a percentage from the purchases of their colleagues and fellow affiliates. We use non-VoIP numbers, which anti-fraud systems struggle to detect.
  • API Integration: for shop and bot owners who want to sell premium numbers under their own brand. We provide webhooks for a seamless, "set-and-forget" integration.
We’ll break each of these down by:

  1. Who it’s for
  2. The key benefits
  3. The rules
  4. How to connect

Referral Program for Affiliates: Benefits and Rules​

Picture this: a colleague recommends a number rental service and sends you a referral link. They seem legit, you work together, so you give it a shot. But your very first launch is a disaster. To avoid further risk, you blacklist the service, trust your colleague a little less, and become permanently skeptical of referral links.

To ensure referrers never end up in that position, Hero-SMS focuses on a high-quality product:

  • Non-VoIP Infrastructure: your referrals get high-trust accounts that successfully run traffic and stay active for months. Because our numbers are 100% physical, users stick with Hero-SMS for the long haul.
  • Guaranteed Refunds: If a number is dead or the code takes too long to arrive, we refund the money. We understand that even physical numbers aren't 100% immune to issues, and our reputation is worth more to us than fighting over a few hundred bucks with a client.

1. Who is the Affiliate Program For?​

Let’s look at the ideal candidates for our program, along with the pitfalls to avoid.

✅ Experienced Solo Affiliates: you’ve spent time in the industry and built up significant social capital. You’re active in niche chats and know plenty of account farmers and registration experts. You’ve seen firsthand how bad numbers can kill a campaign. Recommending Hero-SMS won't be seen as selling out—it will be seen as a pro tip. Your colleagues get reliable non-VoIP numbers, and you get a steady commission for solving their biggest headache.

The Catch: you cannot simply spam your referral link in random chats or competitor comment sections. This kind of traffic has abysmal conversion rates—people hate aggressive spam and don't trust it. We have a zero-tolerance policy for spam; if we catch you using these tactics, we will terminate the partnership.

✅ Influencers and Content Creators: If you produce valuable content—like case studies, manuals, or reviews—a referral link is a natural fit. You teach people how to run traffic "into the green," and Hero-SMS provides the high-quality infrastructure to make it happen. It’s a win-win for everyone involved.

The Catch: do not create clone websites, social media groups named “Hero-SMS Official,” or run brand-keyword ads to hijack our direct traffic. This misleads users and damages our brand integrity. We monitor for these activities and will dissolve any partnership found using them.

2. Key Benefits​

We treat our affiliate program as a serious revenue stream, not an afterthought. To make sure it’s worth your time, we’ve built the following system:

Unlimited Income Potential

Many programs pay a tiny, fixed one-time bounty for each referral. The problem with that model is that once the referrer gets paid, they stop caring if the service actually works for the user. Both the platform and the user suffer.

At Hero-SMS, we pay you a recurring commission. Not "store credit," not "loyalty points," but real cash. Your earnings aren't a one-off payment; they are ongoing. The more your referrals spend and the larger their operations grow, the more you earn.

Note: standard terms include a $50 cap per referral. However, if you control high-volume traffic sources, this limit can be increased or removed entirely. We are always open to discussing individual terms.

Value for Your Referrals

When a link drops in someone's DMs, the first question is always: "Why should I bother with this?" Your referrals will ask the same thing. To help you motivate them, we’ve introduced referral incentives.

If a user signs up through your link and tops up their balance, they can receive discounts on numbers or balance bonuses. This removes the initial friction and creates a "Mutual Profit" relationship: you provide the link that saves them money, and you earn a percentage of their spend.

Important: this incentive system is available specifically for individual partnerships with verified, reliable traffic sources. We are ready to reward high-quality traffic with these extra perks for your audience.

3. Affiliate Program Rules​

At Hero-SMS, we’re all about transparency. Our rules are straightforward but mandatory for everyone. Let’s break down the guidelines and look at some common gray areas.

How to Register Properly​

Anyone can become our partner. The process only takes a couple of minutes:

  1. Create an account on the Hero-SMS website.
  2. Go to the "Affiliate Program" section and submit your application. You’ll find a detailed registration guide at the very end of this article.
  3. Share your link with a referral. Crucial: The user must register specifically via your unique URL for the system to automatically link them to your account.
We’ve seen cases where people tried to game the system. Here’s a prime example of what not to do:

  • A user decides that a 5% "cashback" is too good to pass up. He creates a second account using his own referral link, tops it up with $1,000, and waits for a $50 payout on his main profile.
  • Our anti-fraud system analyzes dozens of parameters—from IP addresses and browser fingerprints to behavioral patterns. Needless to say, his "alt" account was flagged instantly.
  • The result? Both accounts were blocked with no right to withdraw funds. The user lost his balance, his time, and his reputation.
Look, we know there will always be people trying to abuse the system. Instead of tilting at windmills, our goal is to constantly refine our program. When the system is robust and fair, everyone earns well, and the incentive to cheat disappears.

How Payouts Work​

Earned commissions don't just teleport to your card instantly. To keep the system stable, we’ve established a few rules:

  • Submit a payout request. This is done through your personal dashboard and serves as the basis for the transaction.
  • Funds arrive within 7 business days. Usually, it’s much faster, but we need this window to verify transactions.
  • Withdrawal eligibility. You can withdraw funds once your referral has finished using all their currently rented numbers.
Here’s an "anti-example" of how these rules were violated:

  • A partner brings in a referral who makes a large deposit using a stolen card or a payment gateway exploit.
  • The partner immediately rushes to withdraw the commission, hoping to pocket the money before the fraudulent transaction is flagged or reversed.
This happened a few times, and we were left holding the bag. That’s why we introduced the "expiration rule"—we wait until the rental period for the number ends and the service is fully rendered.

If the deposit turns out to be fraudulent during this period, the payout is voided, and both accounts receive a lifetime ban from the affiliate program.



How to Get Exclusive Terms​

Our standard terms—5% commission and a $50 cap per referral—are designed for those recommending the service to friends, colleagues, or small groups. However, for the heavy hitters, we offer Exclusive Terms.

When do we reconsider the terms?

  • Platform Owners: you run a shop, a Telegram bot, a high-traffic channel, or a niche forum.
  • Software Developers: you’ve integrated our API into your auto-regger or multi-tool, ensuring a steady flow of requests.
  • High-Volume Media Buyers: you have a clear traffic acquisition strategy and are ready to prove it with results.
What’s in it for you?

  • Higher Commissions: rates are negotiated individually and can be significantly higher than the base rate.
  • No Limits: we remove the $50 cap per referral. You earn on everything your client spends—no ceiling.
  • Priority Support: firect access to a manager for technical issues and priority payout processing.
We haven’t had any issues here yet, but just a heads-up: we verify the authenticity of every potential partner’s case. If things don’t add up, we reserve the right to decline the request for exclusive terms.

Don't confuse the Referral Affiliate Program with Renting via API. The former is open to everyone who wants to share a link. The latter is specifically for platform owners and developers, involving different terms, risks, and rewards. We’ll dive deeper into that in the next chapter.

Affiliate Program for Shops and Developers: Perks and Policies​

Picture this: you’ve just launched a Telegram bot for selling accounts. You found a supplier, set up the script, and the first wave of traffic is coming in. But a week later, your support inbox is drowning in complaints. It turns out the supplier used virtual numbers that services are banned by the thousands.

You aren’t just losing money; you’re losing the reputation you spent months building. A customer won't care who’s at fault—they just won’t buy from you again. To prevent this, Hero-SMS provides a premium service:

  • We use Non-VoIP numbers. Your clients get high-authority accounts that don't get flagged, allowing them to run traffic successfully and keep coming back to your service. It’s all thanks to real physical SIMs.
  • API Integration via Webhooks. Instead of overloading your server with constant requests, we handle the heavy lifting on our end—with no extra subscription fees.

1. Who Is the API Integration For?​

We’ve built a technical foundation for those who are scaling their own products and want to automate sales.

✅ Shop Owners & Telegram Bot Developers You don’t need to buy SIM cards or maintain your own gateways. Simply connect to our API, and your bot will automatically issue numbers to customers. You decide the markup and how much profit you make on every sale.

The Catch: manual work is not an option here. The Hero-SMS API is built for automation. If you don't have basic scripting skills or a developer on staff to set things up, this won't work. We will decline affiliate requests from those who plan to process everything manually without scaling.

✅ Software Developers (Auto-reggers, Multi-tools) You create the tools that media buyers rely on. By integrating Hero-SMS as the "default" service, you provide your users with high-quality "consumables" while securing a steady stream of passive income for yourself.

The Catch: misusing the API is strictly forbidden. We provide access for legal, transparent tasks. If your software is designed for destructive actions or illegal activities, we will terminate the partnership. We are here for long-term, "white-hat" business.


2. What Are the Benefits?​

We don’t dump money into mass advertising—it’s expensive and inefficient. Instead, we invest in our partners. We provide the infrastructure; you monetize it.

Wholesale Pricing

You get access to numbers at partner rates. Your profit is the difference between our price and your retail price. You have full control over your margins.

In other services, pricing is often the same for everyone. If you try to resell their numbers, you're stuck: either set a massive markup that scares away customers or work for pennies that get eaten up by the first refund request.

Non-VoIP Numbers for Your Clients

Your customers get clean mobile numbers. For you, this means minimal refunds, an empty support ticket queue, and high Customer Lifetime Value (LTV).

The market is flooded with cheap VoIP numbers. Major platforms like Telegram have long been able to detect them instantly. The result? The account is banned immediately after registration, and the customer comes to you demanding a refund.

Faster Service with Reduced Server Load Webhooks

The traditional way to work with an API is "polling." Your server pings ours every second: "Is the code here? How about now? Now?" This makes scaling expensive because you have to buy more hardware to handle the constant requests.

Hero-SMS works via webhooks. We don't make your server "knock on our door" endlessly. We send a notification to you the moment the code is received. This saves your server resources and makes your bot feel lightning-fast.


3. API Partnership Rules​

To secure a partnership, it’s vital to follow the rules and play fair. Here’s the breakdown:

The Right Way to Connect:

  1. Register on the Hero-SMS website.
  2. Navigate to the API section. There, you’ll find your access keys and documentation for all available methods.
  3. Set up the integration. You can use ready-made modules for popular scripts or build your own custom connector.
  4. Top up your balance. API partners use the same payment methods as regular users, though we can discuss custom limits for high-volume players.
What NOT to do: "API Flooding"

One user decided to "stress test" our system by configuring a script to send 500 requests per second to grab a number—without even having a balance. He was hoping to find a vulnerability or clog the request queue. Our DDoS protection and rate-limiting systems flagged him instantly, resulting in an immediate IP and account ban.

Automation equals responsibility. We welcome high traffic when it’s backed by real sales, but we have zero tolerance for mindless flooding.
How Payouts and Billing Work:

You operate on a prepayment model. You top up your Hero-SMS balance → your customers buy numbers through your bot → funds are deducted from your balance at the wholesale partner price.

An Anti-example of Client Fraud:

A shop owner connected via API but didn’t bother vetting his buyers. As a result, a fraudster started mass-buying numbers through his bot using stolen credit cards. Following the investigation, we had to terminate the partnership.

We are responsible for the quality of the SIM cards; you are responsible for the integrity of your payments. Protect your platform with the same rigor we use to manage our hardware.
How to Get Exclusive Terms:

If your shop or software generates 1,000+ activations per day, we can discuss a custom setup:

  • Dedicated Channels. For massive volumes, we can reserve specific hardware exclusively for your needs.
  • Direct Tech Support. Large API clients get a dedicated manager who is available nearly 24/7.
Don't confuse a Referral Link with an API Partnership. API is essentially your own store running on our engine. It carries more responsibility, but the profit potential is significantly higher because you set the final market price.
