Printful’s Affiliate Program is based on a 10% revenue share. You earn a percentage of what your referrals spend on Printful products and services.
- Business-to-business (B2B): 10% for 12 months on all orders from stores created via your affiliate link.
- Business-to-customer (B2C): 10% on one-time or guest orders through your link.
- Printful Growth plan: $25 for every first-time subscription from your referrals.
The formula for calculating your commission is:
10% of product price (minus the product discount, if applicable)
Let’s say the customer you referred places the following order:
Product $15.00
Product discount -$2.00
Here, your commission will be 10% of $13.00 = $1.30
Printful stands out from other printing affiliate programs by offering both product-based commissions and bonuses for subscriptions.
When promoting Printful with your affiliate link, everything must be in line with our branding asset rules and follow our Terms of Service and Acceptable Content Guidelines.
- Don’t use “Printful,” “The Printful,” “printful.com,” or similar variations as keywords in SEO or PPC ads.
- If you send paid traffic (like PPC or media buys), link to your own landing page first.
Direct links to Printful aren’t allowed. - You must also not knowingly run ads that appear in a higher position than Printful-managed ads.
Your account can be suspended temporarily or permanently if you violate our Affiliate Terms of Service. If you get suspended, we’ll inform you via email by an affiliate manager.
One of the main things to keep in mind is that we don’t approve of self-referrals. It means you can’t refer yourself to Printful and earn commissions from your own store.
