iHerb runs the iHerb Affiliate Program. This page pulls together what iHerb's own affiliate page states about the program, so you can judge whether it fits your site.

What the iHerb Affiliate Program is

The iHerb Affiliate Program is iHerb's own program for affiliates. iHerb's affiliate page is the source for every number and rule on this page. Read it yourself before you join, because program terms change.

Who iHerb partners with

iHerb's affiliate page says it partners with influencers and publishers such as coupon, loyalty, content and shopping comparison sites.

Commission on referred sales

iHerb's affiliate page lists up to 25% commission on the sales an affiliate refers. The words "up to" matter here. That figure is the most the program pays, not a typical or promised rate.

iHerb's affiliate page says its cookies last 7 days unless another affiliate or Rewards link overwrites them. So another affiliate or Rewards link can overwrite yours within that time. If you want a fuller explanation of how these windows work, read what a cookie window is.

Payment timing

iHerb's affiliate page says payments for approved conversions go out about 45 days after the close of the month. For help reading payout lines like this one, see how affiliate payouts are sent.

A note for coupon and loyalty site publishers

iHerb's affiliate page says publishers such as coupon partners and loyalty sites must use its Affiliate program. If you run one of those sites, that is the rule its page states for you.

Where to learn more about affiliate basics

If you are new to affiliate marketing, two pages on this site cover the basics. One explains what a cookie window is. The other explains how affiliate payouts are sent. Disclosure has its own page. Read the FTC affiliate disclosure requirements before your first post goes live.
