On this page
Consider Gardener's Supply if you help readers choose garden tools and supplies for specific projects. Its partnership page offers a creator route and an affiliate route for media, editorial publications and bloggers through Impact.1
The public Impact offer shows 4% of order sale amount and a 30-day last-click window. These are template terms, not an accepted Affiliate Orchard contract. A separate FlexOffers listing has different figures and an older update date.3,5
Two routes, two sets of terms
| Route | Public evidence | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Merchant's Impact application | Template: 4% of order sale amount, last click within 30 days; transactions processed in USD.1,2,3 | Your accepted schedule, eligible products, tax/shipping/discount deductions, codes, devices and consent handling |
| FlexOffers listing | Advertises 6.4% of sales and a 7-day cookie. Its visible last update is January 24, 2025.5 | Current account availability, exact eligible base, attribution rules and payment conditions; this is not the Impact offer |
Do not combine the network's rate with Impact's window. The older listing does not establish an available contract today. Second-tier rewards remain Unknown for this merchant; neither public offer reviewed establishes commissions on sales generated by recruited affiliates.1,3,5
Payment follows locking, not the sale date
Hypothetical calendar example, not a tracked referral or guaranteed deposit date:
- Track
A qualifying action is tracked in January. Actual sale eligibility and accepted terms still matter.
- Lock
Actions lock 27 days after the end of the month they were tracked: nominally February 27 for the January example.3
- Schedule payment
Approved transactions are paid 20 days after the end of the month they lock: nominally March 20 for the example. Account withdrawal thresholds, fees, receipt and termination balances remain incomplete.3
The template allows changes or cancellation with one day's notice and advertiser-decided reversals up to 100%. That maximum is a contractual limit, not an observed reversal rate. It also prohibits a media partner's tracking pixel from firing when the consumer action completes.3
A useful angle: choose the tool before linking to it
The partnership page names garden tools, composters and seed-starting systems among its product areas. A concrete tool example is the Yard Butler Twist Tiller: the merchant lists powder-coated steel, 38-inch length, 12-inch width and 4.5-pound weight. We have not tested its comfort, strength, soil performance or durability.1,4
Hypothetical publisher worksheet: a reader is deciding whether to buy a new hand tool for a small garden project. Build the resource around their task and constraints, including the option to keep a suitable tool they already own.
| Check | Original resource to create | Keep this boundary visible |
|---|---|---|
| Task, working space, storage and existing tools | A short “keep, borrow or investigate buying” decision sheet | A commission offer is not a reason to replace a usable tool. |
| Exact model dimensions, weight, material and instructions | A labelled specification comparison; add your measurements only if actually taken | The listed tiller specifications describe this model, not a proven fit for every reader.4 |
| Delivery address, complete cart quote and return remedy | A delivered-cost and commitment box beside the recommendation | Product-specific restrictions, shipping extras and refund wording need checking.4,6,7,8 |

Purchase conditions worth showing
- Delivery: the shipping policy says it serves the US and its territories, with no shipping outside them. Particular products have additional exclusions; the tiller page lists AE, AK, GU, HI and PR restrictions. This does not establish where publishers may join or which sales earn commission.6,4
- Shipping-price conflict: the economy table advertises free shipping at $199 and above, while the FAQ describes an additional $3.99 economy-ground charge. Larger items can carry handling charges. Confirm the address-specific checkout total rather than promise universally free delivery.6
- Return costs: customers pay ordinary return shipping. For damaged, defective or incorrect items, the policy asks buyers to contact customer service before initiating a return.7
Brand credit and cash refunds are not interchangeable. The lifetime-guarantee body offers ecommerce brand credit for the purchase price, excluding shipping, and excludes normal wear or unconventional use. The returns page also says processed refunds go to the original payment method. It does not clearly resolve which remedy applies to each case; confirm that before describing a lifetime cash-refund promise.8,7
The return-processing page asks buyers to allow two to three weeks and says an additional billing cycle may be needed for a credit to appear. Those are advertised processing estimates, not our refund test.7
Before applying
Open the official partnership page and choose the affiliate application for your media or blog. Its Impact destination presents an offer-acceptance step; we reviewed that public offer without accepting it or submitting an application.1,2,3
Confirm your country and channel eligibility, accepted economics, promotional permissions, customer exclusions and cash conditions. The page's existing creator examples do not establish blanket approval for every account or channel.1,3
