How to Promote FiveMRides: The Partner Guide for Ambassadors and Streamers
You are approved, now what? This guide shows how to set up your FiveMRides partner link, what to share, where it works, how streamers add the kit to their channel and how to grow a team. Rates, payouts and the comparison of each role are in the partner program guide.
Start in 5 steps
- Grab your link and your code. In My Account, Ambassador, copy your referral link. It looks like
fivemrides.com/?ref=YOURCODEand works on any page: add?ref=YOURCODEto a product or pack link to send people straight to it.YOURCODEis also a discount code: 25% off for your audience, perfect to say on stream or write where links do not work. - Open your partner kit. The Partner kit tab has your logos, banners, short videos, ready-to-post messages in English and French and an earnings calculator. Use them as they are or rewrite them in your own words.
- Pick one thing to show. One car your community will love beats a link to the whole shop. Link the product page directly and say why it fits their server: lore-friendly, police, drift, a pack for a new server.
- Share where it is welcome. Your own server, a #shop or #resources channel where links are allowed, your stream, your video description, your bio. Never spam other servers or DM strangers.
- Check your dashboard. The Last 30 days view shows clicks, orders and commission with charts. If clicks come in but no orders, try a different product or a pack for server owners.
Your partner dashboard

What works best
| Your audience | What to show them |
|---|---|
| Server owners and devs | Car packs to fill a new server, police and EMS packs, MLOs, and the Studio tools that optimize and convert their own files |
| Players | One car that matches the server style: JDM, drift, lore-friendly, lifted trucks |
| Viewers on stream | The car you are driving right now, with the !cars command in chat |
| Video viewers | The exact cars from the video, linked in the description with your link |
Streamer setup
The Streamer kit in your Partner kit tab has everything ready with your link already inside:
- Chat command: a
!carscommand for Nightbot or StreamElements that answers with your link. - Twitch panel: a short text with your link for the About panels under your stream.
- Video description: a ready block for YouTube, Kick or TikTok with your link, the affiliate disclosure and the “not affiliated with Rockstar Games” line.
- Title ideas: to tie a video to the cars you show.
Every click from a clip or an old VOD is tracked for 30 days, so good videos keep working.
Grow a team
Know someone who runs a server or streams FiveM? Send them the recruit link from your My team tab. Once they are approved, 5% points of their commission on non-pack sales go to you for 12 months, in cash, with your normal payouts. They lose nothing on price, keep the rest of their commission and earn 25 bonus Studio credits per $100 they sell. The full math is in the program guide.
Do and don’t
Do
- Say you earn a commission (affiliate link, #ad)
- Link one specific product or pack
- Show cars in game, on stream or in a clip
- Answer questions honestly and send support questions to the FiveMRides Discord
- Use the official logos and banners from your kit
Don’t
- Spam servers or DM people who did not ask
- Post fake reviews or fake “I bought this” messages
- Say you work for Rockstar Games, Cfx.re or FiveMRides staff
- Promise features or prices that are not on the product page
- Buy through your own link (it never pays)
Partner guide FAQ
Can I link to a specific car instead of the home page?
Yes. Add ?ref=YOURCODE to any FiveMRides link, for example a product or a pack page. The visit is tracked the same way and the buyer lands where you want them.
Do I need to disclose that it is an affiliate link?
Yes. Say that you earn a commission, for example with “affiliate link” in a video description, #ad on social posts or a short line on stream. The Streamer kit description already includes it.
What should streamers set up first?
Add the !cars chat command (Nightbot or StreamElements), put the FiveMRides panel under your Twitch stream and paste the ready description under your videos. All three are in the Streamer kit with your link already in them.
How do I recruit other partners?
Share the recruit link from the My team tab with people who want to join. When they apply through it and are approved, 5% points of their non-pack commission go to you for 12 months, and they get 25 bonus Studio credits per $100 they sell.
Why do I see clicks but no sales?
Clicks are counted as soon as someone opens your link, and a sale can follow up to 30 days later. Try linking one specific car or pack that fits your audience, show it in game, and post when your community is most active.
