01Overview

About the Olive Young affiliate program

Olive Young is the dominant health and beauty retail chain in South Korea, and its global online store brings that same assortment of Korean skincare, makeup and wellness products to shoppers abroad. For many K-beauty fans the name itself is a signal of trust, because it is where Korean shoppers buy the products being talked about online.

The program pays a clean percentage on every sale with a 28-day cookie window, which is generous for beauty. That window matters because skincare buyers often add to cart, read reviews and wait for a promotion before checking out. Content built around routines and current K-beauty trends is the natural fit here.

From the LinkApprove network
Olive Young pays 4.48% on every sale, above the effective rate LinkApprove sees on YesStyle and Stylevana, so creators who already cover Korean skincare usually earn more per order by linking here first.

Beauty & skincare

How Olive Young compares in its category

Beauty carries the strongest repeat-purchase behavior of any vertical, which makes it the best fit for creators with an engaged, returning audience rather than raw reach. Average order values are lower than fashion but conversion rates run materially higher on tutorial and routine content.
