01Overview

About the Macy's affiliate program

Macy's is a department store, and that breadth is the point. A single approval covers apparel, beauty, homeware, luggage and jewellery, which makes it a practical fallback program for creators whose content moves between categories.

Commission rates are lower than specialist brands and vary by department, so it is best treated as a convenient catch-all rather than a headline program.

From the LinkApprove network
Macy's is the most common second program among LinkApprove creators. It absorbs the cross-category content that specialist programs cannot monetize, which for a lifestyle creator is usually a substantial share of everything they publish.

06FAQ

The Macy's 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.

Fashion & apparel

How Macy's compares in its category

Fashion is the highest-volume vertical on LinkApprove and the one where creator content outperforms every other traffic type. Cookie windows are short, typically 7 to 30 days, so conversion depends on posting close to the moment of intent. The programs below all accept social and short-form video traffic.
