How it works

You can select the categories that best describe your business. A pop-up window allows you to select multiple merchant categories.

Categories include, but are not limited to:

  • Beauty & Personal Care
  • Home & Garden

We recommend selecting only the categories that represent your core affiliate marketing focus areas.
