FAQ

What is the BuyBeauty Affiliate Program?
Simply put, the BuyBeauty affiliate program serves as a way to promote an outstanding brand online and get paid for doing so! As an affiliate, you'll receive commission from all sales generated through links you've posted on your site, sent to others via email or have placed into paid search. As a member of our program, you'll be assigned a tracking ID number and whenever a person visits our site through your unique link, you'll receive a percentage of the resulting sale!

Is it free to join?
Yes! It's absolutely free to join. There is no charge to join, applying is easy, and there is no minimum sales requirement to remain a member.

Can I cancel at any time?
Yes.
