Benefits of the Zazzle Promoter Program 2.0
The Zazzle Promoter Program 2.0 rewards Zazzle designers for promoting externally on social media, website, and blogs and bringing traffic to Zazzle.
With The Zazzle Promoter Program 2.0, you will receive a 35% referral fee for sales of your Zazzle products in addition to your royalty % that you set, minus any clawback (see the Zazzle user agreement for details).
A second benefit is that if you do custom orders, you can receive a higher payout because you will receive the 35% referral instead of 15% which is the payout in the standard affiliate program on Zazzle.
The disadvantage of the Zazzle Promoter Program 2.0
The biggest disadvantage of The Zazzle Promoter Program 2.0 is still that most of the millions of Zazzle store owners are better designers than promoters.

How do the “Promoter 2.0 Links” work?
If you are NOT in the Promoter Program 2.0 you earn 15% if your URL links (structured like the “Non-Promoter Links” – see below) bring in a customer and they buy ANY product from Zazzle.
When you ARE part of the Promoter Program 2.0 you earn 35% if your URL links (structured like the “Promoter Links” below) bring in a customer and they buy YOUR products FROM ANY OF YOUR ZAZZLE STORES.
If the customer buys a product from a different designer, you earn 0% referral income.
If you ARE part of The Promoter Program 2.0 you earn 15% if your URL links (structured like the “Non-Promoter Links” – see below) bring in a customer and they buy either your products or any other product on Zazzle. This means you don’t have to go back and change every link you ever posted while promoting, because you can still earn 15%.
It’s a win win either way.

Answers to FAQs for The Promoter Program 2.0
What link format qualifies to earn 35%?
Your store, product, collection, profile and category links all qualify for you to share and earn the 35% promoter (self) referral as long as they are shared in the “Promoter Link” format (that means no RF or TC codes attached to the end of the URL).
Can I use a URL shortener?
In order to be recognized and attributed to you, your Promoter Link must be in the long format. It cannot be a shortened URL like a bitly link. If in doubt, copy and paste your store link, collection link, profile link and/or product URL from your browser.
What if I change my mind and want to opt out?
You can switch your Promoter 2.0 account back to a Standard affiliate account on Zazzle . Simply email Zazzle with your request and they will make the change.
Using Linkin.Bio for Instagram
If you are using Linkin.bio and seeing ?utm parameters for Google analytics, Elizabeth P. from Zazzle confirmed that if you use Linkin.bio for Instagram, then your promoter link will still be eligible for a promoter referral, even though Linkin.bio adds the extra parameters.
