How to earn affiliate revenue from Zappos
When someone buys from Zappos because you recommended it, you can get paid for it. There are two ways to do that: join Zappos's own affiliate program, or share Zappos products through OllaCart and earn on eligible purchases without applying anywhere.
Option 1: Apply to Zappos's affiliate program
Look for an "Affiliates" or "Partners" link in the footer of zappos.com. Large retailers usually run their programs through a network such as Impact, Rakuten Advertising, CJ or Awin, and you apply through that network.
- Sign up with the network or program and apply to Zappos.
- Describe where you'll promote it: a website, newsletter, YouTube, TikTok or Instagram. Most programs review applications by hand.
- Once approved, generate tracked links for Zappos products and add them where your audience will see them.
- Disclose your affiliate relationship next to every link.
This route makes sense if you already have a site or audience. Programs can decline new or small publishers, and many have minimum payout thresholds.
Option 2: Share Zappos finds on OllaCart
OllaCart handles the affiliate side for you. You don't need a website or an approved account with Zappos.
- Save Zappos products you stand behind with the OllaCart extension or iOS app.
- Share your cart or a product link with friends, followers or your audience.
- Earn when they buy. Eligible purchases made through your share can pay you a share of the commission. Buyers pay the same price.
Is Zappos a good store to promote?
Fashion programs tend to pay more per sale than electronics, and shoppers buy fashion on recommendation, which makes it one of the better categories for sharing finds.
Your audience keeps their Zappos VIP benefits, since they check out on zappos.com as usual.
Tips for earning more
- Recommend products you've actually used or researched; trust is what converts.
- Share a themed cart (a gift guide, a room, a routine) rather than single links.
- Time your shares for sales, when buyers are ready.
- Always disclose. It's required by the FTC and keeps your audience's trust.
Frequently asked questions

Most large retailers, likely including Zappos, run an affiliate program, usually through a network such as Impact, Rakuten Advertising, CJ or Awin. Look for an "Affiliates" or "Partners" link in the footer of zappos.com.
How much can I earn from Zappos?
Commission rates are set by Zappos's program, vary by product category and change over time. Check the program's current terms before you promote anything. Through OllaCart, you earn a share of the commission on eligible purchases made through your shared links.
Can I earn from Zappos without a website?

Do buyers pay more when they use my link?
