How to Choose a Home and Garden Affiliate Program

Commission rate and order value together

A higher rate on a low-priced item can earn less than a lower rate on a high-priced one. Multiply the rate by the typical order value. Our program pays 3% on qualifying sales across a catalog where the typical product starts around $834.

Terms to read carefully

• How long a referral is tracked after a click.
• How and when commissions are paid, and any minimum payout.
• Which sales qualify, and how returns are handled.
• Any restrictions on how you may promote (for example paid search or coupon sites).

The program terms are in the partner portal, so read them before you start.

Brand trust and product quality

Only promote products you would put your name behind. A store with clear shipping information, a sensible return policy and real customer support makes your recommendation safer.

Breadth of products

A wide catalog lets you recommend complete setups and alternatives for different budgets. We carry porch swings, gliders, Adirondack chairs, benches, patio sets and more from several brands.

Support and content assets

Look for tracking links you can customize, product data you can use accurately, and a contact when something goes wrong.

Try before you commit
