Wish marketplace affiliate program

Written by

Wish is an online marketplace that connects shoppers with a wide range of inexpensive and often unbranded products, including clothing, electronics, and home goods, offering discounted prices and deals. If you’re looking for a Wish affiliate program, maybe you’d like to consider starting your own marketplace with 3-5x higher sales commission. Here’s how.

With Vendo, creating your multi-vendor marketplace is now effortless and budget-friendly. Start your sales journey with products from a variety of vendors soon, bypassing inventory and shipping issues. And the sales commissions hover around 20-30% instead of 5%.

Wish Marketplace Success Factors

Wish, an American online e-commerce platform known for its highly affordable products and unique shopping experience, has had a significant impact on the online retail market. Here's a brief summary of the key factors behind Wish's success:

  • Focus on Price Over Experience: Unlike other e-commerce platforms that prioritize the shopping experience, Wish concentrated on offering discounted and unbranded items, mainly through browsing rather than search. 
  • Strong Mobile App Presence: Wish's mobile apps on Android and iPhone consistently rank at the top for all shopping apps, surpassing others like Amazon and eBay. The app focuses more on a browsing experience, encouraging users to explore deals in a more habit-forming and entertaining manner.
  • Use of Data for Personalization: Wish employs big data technology to deliver a personalized shopping experience. This involves using customer browsing habits, social profiles, and ad view history to make recommendations, different from other platforms that suggest items typically purchased together.
  • Significant Revenue Generation: Despite facing competition from Chinese e-commerce platforms like Alibaba and Taobao, Wish has maintained a strong revenue stream. As of 2021, their revenue was reported at $1.74 billion, with expectations of revenue growth by 8% through 2025.
  • Reinvention and Customer Trust: Recently, Wish has been undergoing a massive turnaround plan, including a revamp of its logo and in-app browsing experience, and a comprehensive overhaul of its merchant network to improve product quality. This transition is a response to challenges, including a decline in stock value and revenue in recent years.

Wish Affiliate Program

The Wish Affiliate Program offers a unique opportunity for affiliates, particularly those who cater to audiences interested in a wide range of low-priced products. Here are some key aspects of the program:

  • Commission Structure: Affiliates earn a commission of $0.01 per click on average, with a 10% sales commission on products sold through their affiliate links. However, this commission rate is relatively low compared to other affiliate programs.
  • Cookie Duration: The program has a short cookie duration of just one day, which is considerably less than many other affiliate programs.
  • Payment Details: The payment threshold for the program is $10, and payments are made either through PayPal or bank account. The payment timeline is 30 days.
  • Product Categories and Array: Wish's affiliate program covers a vast array of products, including electronics, jewelry, home décor, and more. The platform is known for offering products at prices significantly lower than typical retail, sometimes by 50-80%.
  • High Acceptance Rate: The program has a high acceptance rate of around 95%, making it accessible to many potential affiliates.
