Home & DIY affiliate programs
Home and DIY stores have large orders such as furniture and appliances, but short cookies and low rates on big-ticket categories.
| Program | Commission | Cookie | Network | Terms |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lowe's | About 2% | 1 day | CJ or Impact | Third-party figures |
| The Home Depot | 1%–8% by category | 1 day | Impact | Third-party figures |
| Wayfair | About 7% | 7 days | CJ (US), Awin (UK) | Partly confirmed |
What to check before you join
The three programs here split two ways. Wayfair reports about 7% with a 7-day cookie, while The Home Depot (1% to 8% by category) and Lowe's (about 2%) both have 1-day cookies, so a reader who comes back tomorrow earns you nothing. Big-ticket items such as furniture and appliances make even a low percentage worthwhile, and because people research them for days, the longer cookie helps. Check the category rate before you write, since The Home Depot's rate depends on what is bought. Buying guides, room ideas and project checklists tend to convert better than single product links.
