Inspired by Real Life
A healthy, active life looks different for everyone. And USANA supports diverse lifestyles striving for whole-body wellness, all while earning commission—your way.
Our new Affiliate Program is designed for those who are passionate about health and what the USANA brand delivers, all while looking for a straightforward way to earn a commission sharing with their social network. And earning has never been simpler. Affiliates enjoy their own compensation plan and unique benefits that cater to their personality and expectations.
What’s an Affiliate?
An Affiliate is a USANA independent representative who shares USANA products with their friends and family or through their social networks (think Instagram Influencers).
Perks of being an Affiliate:
- 15%–20% Affiliate Commission: Affiliates can earn a commission on product sales by simply sharing links to their favorite USANA products. To keep it simple, they earn based on personally sponsored sales, with no need to worry about Sales Volume Points. The percentage of sales they receive depends on which products their customer purchases. The Affiliate commission percentage is as follows:
- 20%—Nutritionals, Healthy Living, Skincare
- 15%—Active Nutrition
- Long-Term Rewards: Unlike most other Affiliate programs, the Affiliate commission is not just for first-time orders. Shoppers who click on an Affiliate’s sharing link and sign up as a Preferred Customer are forever tied to the Affiliate—and they receive a 15%–20% commission for every order placed by this PC.
- Preferred Pricing and Subscriptions: USANA Affiliates also have access to great PC and Associate benefits—like exclusive Preferred Pricing and the ability to sign up for Auto Order.
- Referral Bonus: Affiliates who refer other Affiliates enjoy additional rewards—10% of everything their referral earns.
- Affiliate Dashboard: Affiliates can track their progress, access product sharing links, and shop all from the same place with a new, simplified dashboard.
FAQs
Q. How often do Affiliates get paid?

Q. Is the 20% Affiliate Bonus based on dollar amount or points?
A. The 20% Affiliate Bonus is based on dollars, not points. An Affiliate earns 15%–20% of the tax exclusive price of any order they generate, meaning they earn 15%–20% of the product price, not the product volume.
