01Overview
About the ButcherBox affiliate program
ButcherBox delivers grass-fed beef, free-range chicken and wild-caught seafood on subscription, and it converts on sourcing rather than convenience. The customer is choosing it because of how the animals were raised, which is a values argument rather than a time-saving one.

The basket is high for a food subscription, and the sourcing story gives creators substantial genuine content material. Freezer space is the most common practical objection and the one content most often ignores, so addressing it directly converts better than another description of quality.
The basket here runs above meal kit norms, and freezer capacity is the objection most content ignores. Addressing storage directly converts better than restating quality claims.

Common questions
Something else? Contact the partnerships team.
How much does the ButcherBox affiliate program pay?
The ButcherBox affiliate program pays $25 per new subscriber (flat bounty on a first box order). Average order value on the program is $145, so commission per conversion is calculated against that basket rather than a single item price.
What is the cookie duration for the ButcherBox affiliate program?
The ButcherBox program has a 30-day cookie window. A purchase made after that window has closed is not attributed to you, which is why content timing matters on this program.
How do I join the ButcherBox affiliate program?
You can join the ButcherBox affiliate program through LinkApprove without applying to ButcherBox directly. LinkApprove already holds the upstream approval, so once your LinkApprove partner account is approved you can generate tracked links to any ButcherBox product page immediately.
Which countries does the ButcherBox affiliate program accept?
The ButcherBox program accepts traffic from US. Traffic from outside these regions may not be attributed even when the click is tracked, so check your audience geography before committing content to it.
