01Overview

About the Thrive Market affiliate program

Thrive Market is a membership-based online grocery focused on organic and specialty diet products, keto, paleo, gluten-free, at prices below conventional health food retail. The bounty is paid on membership signup rather than on basket value.

Because it is diet-led, it converts unusually well for creators with a specific dietary focus. An audience already committed to eating a particular way has a concrete reason to join, whereas a general food audience treats it as one grocery option among many.

From the LinkApprove network
Thrive Market converts best for creators with a defined dietary niche in the LinkApprove network, general food audiences perform noticeably worse here, because the membership only makes sense to someone already shopping that way.

06FAQ

Common questions

How much does the Thrive Market affiliate program pay?

The Thrive Market affiliate program pays $15 per membership (flat bounty on a new paid membership). Average order value on the program is $90, so commission per conversion is calculated against that basket rather than a single item price.

What is the cookie duration for the Thrive Market affiliate program?

The Thrive Market 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 Thrive Market affiliate program?

You can join the Thrive Market affiliate program through LinkApprove without applying to Thrive Market directly. LinkApprove already holds the upstream approval, so once your LinkApprove partner account is approved you can generate tracked links to any Thrive Market product page immediately.

Which countries does the Thrive Market affiliate program accept?

The Thrive Market 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.
