01Overview
About the The North Face affiliate program
The North Face is unusual in serving two entirely separate audiences from one catalogue: technical mountain users who buy for performance, and a large streetwear audience who buy the Nuptse and Denali as fashion items. Both convert, and a creator can work either side.
Demand is strongly seasonal and concentrated in autumn and winter, when insulated outerwear sells. Content published just ahead of the first cold weather consistently outperforms the same content posted mid-season.
The North Face draws the widest split between technical and fashion buyers of any program in the LinkApprove network, and creators who publish outerwear content ahead of the first cold snap outperform those who wait for the season to start.

06FAQ
Common questions
How much does the The North Face affiliate program pay?
The The North Face affiliate program pays 6% per sale. Average order value on the program is $190, so commission per conversion is calculated against that basket rather than a single item price.
What is the cookie duration for the The North Face affiliate program?
The The North Face 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 The North Face affiliate program?
You can join the The North Face affiliate program through LinkApprove without applying to The North Face directly. LinkApprove already holds the upstream approval, so once your LinkApprove partner account is approved you can generate tracked links to any The North Face product page immediately.
Which countries does the The North Face affiliate program accept?
The The North Face program accepts traffic from US, UK, EU, CA. 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.
Sports & outdoors
How The North Face compares in its category
Sports and outdoors carries the highest average order values of any vertical on LinkApprove, because technical gear is expensive and buyers replace it rarely but decisively. Content that demonstrates gear in real conditions substantially outperforms studio product content here, and demand is sharply seasonal in both directions, camping peaks in spring, insulation in autumn.
