01Overview
About the Chewy affiliate program
Chewy pays a fixed acquisition bounty rather than a percentage, which changes the strategy entirely. Basket size is irrelevant, what matters is the number of genuinely new customers, so content aimed at first-time buyers outperforms content aimed at existing pet owners switching brands.

Because the payout is flat and validates quickly, this is one of the easiest programs in the directory to forecast revenue on.
Chewy's new-customer-only structure is where most new partners lose money, LinkApprove pre-flags programs with acquisition-only payouts in the panel so creators do not build content around an existing-customer audience that will never validate.

Pets
How Chewy compares in its category
Pets is the most reliably recurring vertical in retail affiliate marketing. Subscription and auto-ship products mean a single converted customer often generates commission for years, and audience trust transfers unusually well from creator to purchase.

Common questions
Something else? Contact the partnerships team.
How much does the Chewy affiliate program pay?
The Chewy affiliate program pays $15 per new customer (flat bounty on first order rather than percentage). Average order value on the program is $75, so commission per conversion is calculated against that basket rather than a single item price.
What is the cookie duration for the Chewy affiliate program?
The Chewy program has a 15-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 Chewy affiliate program?
You can join the Chewy affiliate program through LinkApprove without applying to Chewy directly. LinkApprove already holds the upstream approval, so once your LinkApprove partner account is approved you can generate tracked links to any Chewy product page immediately.
Which countries does the Chewy affiliate program accept?
The Chewy 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.
