01Overview
About the Douglas affiliate program
Douglas is Europe's leading premium beauty retailer, founded in Germany and operating stores and online shops across more than twenty countries. It sells fragrance, makeup, skincare and haircare from luxury and niche brands alongside its own label, and its loyalty program and seasonal sales are a big part of European beauty shopping.

Fragrance and luxury skincare make up a large share of sales, which lifts basket values, and the brand's advent calendars and holiday gift sets drive strong seasonal demand. Each country store tracks separately, and the German store pays the most per order.
Douglas pays the most per order on its German store, with a ceiling of €3.80 against €2.04 in Poland and €0.73 in Bulgaria, so German-speaking audiences earn the most.
