Shopping and marketplaces: what they really pay
5 retail programs, from Amazon to Nike, read from each company’s own page.
Retail pays small percentages on a huge range of products, so it needs volume. Amazon is one example: 4% in All Other Categories.

How to read this
- ‘Up to’ is the top of a range, and says nothing about typical pay.
- ‘Not on its page’ means the company’s public page shows no figure, so ask them or read the terms after you join.
- Rates change, so check the program’s page before you build anything around it.
