Our verdict

CashKaro pays referral commission of 10% of friend's cashback plus recurring commission, which suits Indian publishers with an audience that already shops and books travel. The trade-off is withdrawal timing: payouts clear once the balance reaches INR 250 and go out by bank transfer and gift card, while support stays in the help centre.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Recurring commission is part of the offer, so a referral can keep earning after the first purchase.
  • The reward is easy to explain: 10% of friend's cashback on what the person you referred receives.
  • The vertical mix covers retail, travel and health categories, giving a publisher several topics to build content around.
  • Withdrawals are made by bank transfer and gift card once the balance reaches INR 250.

Cons

  • Support runs on help centre only, so payout questions wait for a written reply.
  • Coverage is a single market, listed as single country, so traffic from other countries will not earn.
  • The payout threshold of INR 250 sits above the typical €43.85 across programmes on the site.

Frequently asked questions

How much does CashKaro pay for a referral?+

Referral commission is 10% of friend's cashback, taken from the cashback the referred person actually receives rather than paid as a flat bounty. Recurring commission is also offered, so later purchases by that person can keep earning. That makes the programme a fit for evergreen content rather than a one-off link.

Which markets does CashKaro run in?+

The programme is listed as single country and is based in India, so it is built for a single market rather than a global network. Traffic from elsewhere is unlikely to convert. Its verticals are retail, travel and health, which points content towards shopping, travel and health spending in that market.

How do publishers withdraw their CashKaro commission?+

A cashback payment is requested once the balance reaches INR 250, and the money is paid by bank transfer and gift card. A bank transfer suits anyone with a bank account, while a gift card covers the rest. If a payment stalls, the help centre is where the question goes.

Does CashKaro pay commission on repeat purchases?+

Yes. Recurring commission is offered, so a referral can keep paying on later orders instead of stopping at the first purchase. The programme is built around the referral feature rather than direct brand deals, which is why repeat value matters more here than on a one-off offer.

Is the CashKaro payout threshold high?+

The threshold is INR 250, above the typical €43.85 seen across programmes on the site. Cashback balances build slowly, so a publisher writing about retail, travel and health categories will reach it faster than one promoting a single offer. Plan content volume with that figure in mind.

Who does CashKaro suit?+

It suits Indian publishers whose readers shop, book travel and buy health products, since its verticals are retail, travel and health. It also fits writers who prefer to explain a single clean rule, 10% of friend's cashback, rather than track different rates per merchant. CashKaro is less useful for a publisher who needs a global programme.

How does CashKaro compare with EarnKaro and other options?+

Both CashKaro and EarnKaro centre on referrals: CashKaro pays 10% of friend's cashback, while EarnKaro lists Up to 50% profit, 10% lifetime referral. Influenciador Magalu runs on a different footing with Up to 12% per sale, and Live!Ads describes its setup as Performance-based affiliate rewards. The model matters more than the headline rate.

What support does CashKaro offer publishers?+

Support runs through the help centre, so answers arrive in writing and questions can be tracked. There is no listed phone or chat route, which matters most when a balance of INR 250 is waiting on approval. Keep cashback order details ready, since that is what a written answer will need.
