The Local Partner program, invite codes, commissions and City Partner.
A Local Partner is a neighbour who helps Localsville take root in their state by personally introducing the people and places they know. It is a membership, not a job — there is no employment, no territory and no franchise.
A membership covers one U.S. state, lasts twelve months, and comes with one shareable invite code.
Read the Local Partner page and the Local Partner Terms.
LP is short for Local Partner. You will also see CP, which is City Partner — a status a Local Partner can reach.
CMN is the third abbreviation you will meet: it is the Community Member Number, a Partner's invite code.
Nothing today — registration is free during launch. While the launch waiver is on, the server refuses to start any charge at all, so nobody can be billed for a membership.
The standard price the waiver suspends is $149 per state, per year, as published in the Local Partner Terms. That is what it will cost when the waiver ends.
A free registration creates exactly the same membership a paid one would: active, one state, twelve months, and your own invite code.
Yes — enrollment is open, and the fee is waived. Both are operator switches, and both are currently set that way.
You join from inside the Localsville app. If enrollment is ever closed, the controls disappear from the app rather than failing when you press them.
From inside the Localsville app. The website explains the program, but membership starts in the app.
You choose the state, accept the Local Partner Terms, and the membership activates. While the launch waiver is on, no payment is involved.
Your invite code is created at that moment and cannot be changed afterwards.
A CMN is a Local Partner's invite code — Community Member Number. It looks like LV-HI-K7P2QW: the state, then six characters.
The characters deliberately leave out 0, 1, I and O so it can be read aloud without confusion.
It is created automatically when a membership activates and can never be changed. Each state you hold has its own separate code.
They enter your CMN on their own profile, or open your invite link. Your link is localsville.com/join?cmn=YOUR-CODE.
Before it is saved, the app shows them whose code it is — "Invited by [name]" — so nobody is attributed to a stranger by accident.
You cannot use your own code on your own profile.
No. A profile carries one invitation, once, permanently. The record cannot be edited or replaced through the app by anyone.
If a code was entered in genuine error, contact support — a correction is possible but it is a deliberate administrative act with a permanent audit record.
You get one notification, and only once the profile they created has actually gone live. Entering your code on its own does not notify you and does not count.
That is deliberate: a code typed into a draft that never becomes a real profile is not a neighbour you introduced to the community.
Your Partner hub shows the profiles attributed to you.
Nothing is earned when someone joins. A Partner is only credited when a profile they introduced completes real paid activity — a finished appointment or a completed exchange that settles.
Membership registrations never generate commission, no matter how many people join with your code.
In-app payment is currently switched off, so no qualifying activity of any kind is occurring right now.
1.00% of eligible activity from a profile you invited directly. Above that, City Partners can receive overrides of 0.30%, 0.20% and 0.10% at one, two and three levels up.
These come out of Localsville's own share. They are never added to what a buyer pays and never taken from what a provider earns.
Commission is scoped to the state your membership covers. Localsville makes no claim or promise about what any Partner will earn, and the rates are published in the Local Partner Terms.
Nothing happens. No notification, no credit, no commission. The invitation is recorded on their profile, but until that profile goes live it counts for nothing.
If they do finish and go live later, the attribution is still there and it counts then.
No. A Local Partner does not own or reserve anything. There is no exclusivity: any number of Partners can hold an active membership in the same state at the same time.
A membership determines which state your activity is counted in — not a patch of ground you control.
Yes, as many as sign up. Localsville does not cap the number of Partners in a state and does not allocate anyone a protected area.
What is attributed to you is the profiles that used your code — not everyone in your state.
Any of the fifty U.S. states, plus the District of Columbia.
U.S. territories such as Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands cannot be registered today.
You can hold memberships in more than one state; each is separate, with its own term and its own code.
Yes. Each state is a separate membership with its own twelve-month term and its own invite code.
Make sure you share the code for the right state — activity is counted against the state the profile is in.
No. A membership is a one-year term and does not renew itself. There is no recurring subscription.
You are reminded when a membership is within 14 days of expiring, and renewing extends the term rather than starting a new one.
An expired membership stops qualifying for anything until it is renewed.
Yes. Your code can be used by a Person profile or a Place profile — the attribution is recorded on the profile, whichever kind it is.
A single profile can only ever record one invitation.
City Partner is a status a Local Partner can reach — it is not something you can buy or sign up for. There is no City Partner enrollment, no price and no application anywhere in Localsville.
It is reached when ten profiles a Partner invited directly each reach $10,000 of activity in the same calendar month, in that Partner's state.
Once reached it is permanent. It unlocks the override rates of 0.30%, 0.20% and 0.10% described in the Local Partner Terms.
Because in-app payment is switched off, no activity is currently accumulating toward this.
Partner commissions are paid on a monthly run, on the 1st. Each commission is held first on the same schedule as the provider's own earning from that job.
A payout requires a connected Stripe account and at least $25 owed; below that the balance carries forward.
If a job is refunded, the commission on it is reversed proportionally.
Nothing is being paid today, because no qualifying activity can occur while payments are off.
No. Partner status has no effect on Discover whatsoever — it is one of the inputs the ranking code explicitly refuses to consider.
A Partner's profile is ordered exactly like anyone else's.
No. A CMN is generated once and never changes, and there are no custom or vanity codes.
That is what makes it safe to print on something or say out loud — it will still be yours next year.
Localsville does not promise you will earn anything, and cannot. Whether a Partner earns depends entirely on whether people they introduce go on to complete real paid activity — which is outside anyone's control.
The Local Partner Terms say it plainly: the membership fee is payable whether or not you ever earn anything.
This is not an income opportunity, an investment, or employment. Treat any claim that it is — from anyone — as something Localsville has not said.
You do not choose it — it is derived from whose code your own profile used, in the same state. It is set once, at your first activation in that state, and never changes.
If your profiles point at two different Partners, the case goes to a person to decide rather than being guessed.
Only City Partners can see a team view, and it goes three levels deep. An ordinary Local Partner sees the profiles they invited directly, which is what their own commission depends on.
It stops qualifying for anything — your code no longer attributes new profiles and no new commission is generated. You are reminded 14 days before it happens.
Renewing extends the term rather than starting again, and attributions already recorded stay recorded.
Once a membership is activated the fee is non-refundable, as set out in the Local Partner Terms.
During the launch waiver nothing is being charged, so there is nothing to refund.
It is reduced in proportion to what was refunded — if half the job is refunded, half the commission is reversed.
If you had already been paid, the difference becomes a negative balance taken out of a later payout rather than being clawed back from your bank.
Localsville's own share. A Partner commission is never added to what a buyer pays and never taken out of what a provider earns.
That is a deliberate design choice: introducing someone to Localsville should not make things more expensive for them.
