What is the Shein affiliate program?

  1. The Shein affiliate program (also known as the publisher program) works the way most affiliate marketing does; the affiliate receives a referral link to post when they share Shein products on their social media and when a customer buys something via that link, the affiliate gets a commission. Shein affiliates can select which products and promotions they want to market. [1]
    • In addition to receiving 10-20% commission on purchases, Shein affiliates also receive monthly cash bonuses and coupons.
    • Shein affiliates promote a variety of products including women’s and men’s clothing, accessories, and even home decor.
    • Shein has previously offered the SHEGLAM influencer program for makeup artists and beauty influencers, but they are no longer taking applications.
    • Affiliate marketing is not the same as influencer marketing. Marketing expert Christine Carter says, “For every sale that can be attributed to the individual marketing the product or service (or the affiliate), the company agrees to compensate the affiliate at an agreed upon percentage of the sale. It is different from influencer marketing because the marketer earns a commission, which is not always certain for influencer marketing agreements.”
  2. Much of this program works the same way as the regular affiliate program; ambassadors receive a referral link to post with their social media content and get commission when customers use it. They also receive networking and internship opportunities in addition to the benefits of the regular affiliate program. To join the Campus Ambassador program, you must be a current United States college or university student.

  1. Because you’ll be posting your affiliate link on social media, you want to have a good-sized following on at least one platform so more people are likely to click the link and get you a commission. Make sure you regularly post engaging content and that your content is at least somewhat related to the types of products Shein offers. [2]
    • You don’t have to post fashion content all the time, but your affiliate links should be appropriately targeted to your audience. If you post lifestyle content, you’re good to go, but if you only post content about mechanics, for example, it wouldn’t make sense to post ads for a fashion site.
    • You don’t have to have a certain number of followers to apply for the affiliate program, but the bigger the audience, the more people who will click your referral link.
    • If you post content on a website or blog rather than a platform like Instagram or TikTok, make sure it’s easy to navigate and aesthetically pleasing.
  2. Shein has 2 affiliate pages: one for creators in the United States and another for creators in Europe and Asia . Visit the appropriate page, click “sign up,” and fill out the required information to create an account.
    • You’ll need to input your first and last name, email address, and password. It’s best to use a professional email address to increase your chances of getting accepted.
  3. Once you’ve created your account, you’ll need to provide Shein with more information about your promotional market. This includes things like your main promotional type (video, email marketing, etc.), your average monthly traffic, and a link to your PayPal account. [3]
  4. After filling out the required information, read through all of the terms and conditions for posting affiliate content. This includes important information like brand and logo application, appropriate ways to promote content, and what behavior is prohibited. [4]
    • If you violate the rules, Shein reserves the right to deduct your commission or terminate your account, so pay careful attention when reading the policy.
    • If you have any questions, contact the Shein team for clarification.
  5. It usually takes Shein a few business days to approve or deny your application. If you’re accepted, you’ll receive access to your affiliate dashboard and your unique affiliate link, along with further instructions of how to begin posting content. [5]
    • If you get denied, keep building your following and posting high-quality content. You can always apply again later.
  6. As outlined in their policy, Shein will provide guidelines for how to share their products in your content. Follow their instructions for each post, post your provided affiliate link, and receive commission when someone purchases something. Here are the benefits Shein advertises to their affiliates: [6]
    • 10-20% commission on each referred sale
    • Monthly cash bonus when you share promotions
    • Monthly profitable activities like updating banners and coupons
    • 30-day cookie duration , meaning you can earn commission if a customer buys something within 30 days of clicking your link
    • Note that most of Shein’s products are very inexpensive , so you’ll need to sell a lot to make money.
    • Since Shein has you link your PayPal account when you sign up, you can transfer your commission money to your bank account.
