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.
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.

Common questions
Something else? Contact the partnerships team.
How much does the Macy's affiliate program pay?
The Macy's affiliate program pays up to 4% per sale. Average order value on the program is $130, so commission per conversion is calculated against that basket rather than a single item price.
What is the cookie duration for the Macy's affiliate program?
The Macy's program has a 10-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 Macy's affiliate program?
You can join the Macy's affiliate program through LinkApprove without applying to Macy's directly. LinkApprove already holds the upstream approval, so once your LinkApprove partner account is approved you can generate tracked links to any Macy's product page immediately.
Which countries does the Macy's affiliate program accept?
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.
