You may NOT advertise coupon codes obtained from our non-affiliate advertising, customer emails, paid search, or any other campaign. Sales that result from the use of an internal coupon are non-commissionable and will not be assigned to your affiliate account. Further, coupons can only be posted on your site.

    • What is your policy on commission reversals?

      We take pride in not reversing customer orders and chargebacks that occur in the ordinary course of business. However, we reserve the right to reverse orders due to order cancellations, duplicate orders, undeliverable addresses, chargebacks related to fraud, and program violations as outlined in the affiliate agreement.

    • Do you have a bulk email/messaging/text policy?

      Sending a message to anyone who has not given consent is SPAM. We do not allow any type of email, messaging, text or social media group spamming. Any account in violation of this policy is subject to immediate and permanent termination. Additionally, all pending commissions will be voided. We encourage any and all types of ethical advertising/marketing, but spamming is strictly prohibited.

    • How do I track what I’ve earned?

      We provide real-time traffic and sales data through your affiliate account. Log into your account anytime for 24/7 updates on your commissions. Additionally, you can choose to have sales alerts sent to your email when your referrals make purchases.

    • Why is this better than Amazon Associates?

      Since Amazon promotes side-by-side competition between similar products within a given category, you get what’s often referred to as a “race to the bottom” in terms of pricing, which generally means that the cheapest product with decent reviews gets the most purchases.

      While the low prices found on Amazon may be good for conversions, the Amazon commissions are typically very low compared to ours. Their commission rate is 1% on Health and Personal Care Products.

      Additionally, our commissions are paid 10 days from the close of the month in which they were earned. This is significantly faster than the 60 day period required by the Amazon Associates program.

    • What makes it better than other affiliate programs?

      We pride ourselves on making the process as easy, profitable and enjoyable as possible. We offer bigger payouts than other affiliate programs, as well as direct support with your own affiliate manager. This ensures you have everything lined up to maximize your commissions – and if you run into any challenges, we are happy to help you sort them out.

      Additionally, we continually optimize every element of the customer experience to maximize conversion rate and help you earn even bigger commissions.
