    The Nike affiliate program — how to join & earn

    Nike is a heavy hitter for sport, running, sneaker and fashion content, and its affiliate program pays a commission on purchases made through your links. It runs on the big affiliate networks, and Nike keeps separate regional stores (Nike US, UK, EU and more), so getting each reader to their own store is part of actually earning on international traffic rather than leaking it.

    Network
    Awin / Impact (varies by region)
    Commission
    Tiered by category, roughly 1–11% depending on product and region (footwear and apparel sit at the higher end)
    Cookie
    7–30 days, depending on region and network

    Commission rates and tiers change — always confirm the current terms with the network before relying on a figure.

    How to join the Nike affiliate program

    1. 1

      Build a site, blog or channel with genuine sport, fitness, running, fashion or sneaker content and an engaged audience. Nike reviews traffic and content quality before approving.

    2. 2

      Sign up for the affiliate network Nike uses in your region (commonly Awin or Impact) and complete your publisher profile.

    3. 3

      Apply to the Nike program inside that network; once approved, the exact per-category rates appear in your dashboard along with link tools and creatives.

    Free to join; run through Awin or Impact depending on your region.
    Commission is tiered by category, and footwear and apparel generally earn the most.
    Cookie window varies (about 7 days in some regions, up to 30 on Awin/Impact).
    Separate regional Nike stores (US, UK, EU and more) each track and pay separately.
    Typical minimum payout around $50, paid monthly (Net 30).
    Once you’re in the program

    Turn your Nike affiliate link into one smart link

    Awin / Impact (varies by region) links are long and ugly, and they only ever point one place. Wrap your tagged Nike link in a Geo-Smart-Link and you get a clean, short gsl.li URL you can change anytime — with a dynamic QR code, click analytics, and A/B testing behind it, on every plan.

    Route by country

    Nike runs stores in US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia. Send each shopper to their local storefront from one link, with your tag for that market.

    Short & editable

    A tidy gsl.li link instead of a long tracking URL — and you can change where it points without re-sharing it.

    A dynamic QR

    Put your Nike link on a video thumbnail, pin board or print — a scannable code that inherits the same routing and tracking.

    See the clicks

    Clicks by country, device and source, bots filtered — so you know which content drives your Nike commissions.
