Affiliate Program
What is an Affiliate Program?
When a visitor to your blog or website clicks on one of your Alchimie Forever® promotional links and makes a purchase of any eligible* Alchimie Forever® product, your website earns up to 20% commission on that sale.
How does the Alchimie Forever® Affiliate Program work?
An Alchimie Forever® affiliate website places promotional links, managed by ShareASale, on their webpages. In partnership with ShareASale, Alchimie Forever® will provide you with the easy-to-use tools to set up, manage and monitor your links. When a visitor to your site clicks on one of these promotional links and makes a purchase of any eligible* Alchimie Forever® product, your website earns up to 20% commission on that sale. Alchimie Forever® is responsible for all order fulfillment details.
To sign up to be an affiliate with us create or use an existing ShareASale account.
When you join our affiliate program you agree to all the term and conditions of our Affiliate Agreement.
