01Overview
About the HelloFresh affiliate program
HelloFresh is one of the highest-converting programs available to affiliates, for a simple reason: the first-box discount is aggressive enough that the trial is close to free. The creator's job is to communicate the offer, not to justify the price.
Because it is a flat bounty on new subscribers only, the program rewards reach. Creators with large but loosely engaged audiences often outperform smaller, highly engaged ones here, the reverse of what happens in beauty.
HelloFresh is the highest-converting program in the LinkApprove directory measured on click-to-sale rate. It is also where we see the most attempted incentivised traffic, so it carries stricter verification for new partners than any other program we run.

06FAQ
Common questions
How much does the HelloFresh affiliate program pay?
The HelloFresh affiliate program pays $20 per new subscriber (flat bounty on first box). Average order value on the program is n/a, bounty model, so commission per conversion is calculated against that basket rather than a single item price.
What is the cookie duration for the HelloFresh affiliate program?
The HelloFresh 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 HelloFresh affiliate program?
You can join the HelloFresh affiliate program through LinkApprove without applying to HelloFresh directly. LinkApprove already holds the upstream approval, so once your LinkApprove partner account is approved you can generate tracked links to any HelloFresh product page immediately.
Which countries does the HelloFresh affiliate program accept?
The HelloFresh program accepts traffic from US, UK, EU, CA, AU. 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.
