Shutterstock Affiliate Program

The Shutterstock affiliate program lets you earn money by promoting Shutterstock’s images, footage, and music.

You can join the program for free through Impact Radius. Once approved, you’ll get a unique affiliate link from the Impact affiliate dashboard. Shutterstock also provides tools like the API, customizable Affiliate Widget, banners in different sizes and languages, text links, and a search box for promotion.

This program is great for bloggers, influencers, and content creators in creative, design, photography, or music niches. It’s also great for marketing agencies and graphic designers focusing on stock media and software.

The Shutterstock affiliate program allows you to earn a 10-30% share of the sales when new customers buy Shutterstock’s images, footage, or music, and subscribe to other paid plans.

Here’s the detailed commission rates of the Shutterstock affiliate program:

• PremiumBeat New Customer Purchase: 30%/order sale amount
• Shutterstock New Customer Subscription – Image: 20%/ order sale amount
• Shutterstock New Customer Purchase – Music: 10%-20%/order sale amount (10% for items in the Offset Assets category)
• Shutterstock New Customer Purchase – Image: 10%-20%/order sale amount (10% for items in the Offset Assets category)
• Shutterstock New Customer Purchase – Footage: 10%-20%/order sale amount

For new customers who make an Image, Footage, or Music purchase, you get a 10% revenue share on the net sales amount if their items are in the Offset Assets category.

For all other items, you’ll get 20% of their order sale amount. The maximum $300 payout per order applies to all types of subscriptions and purchases.

Shutterstock credits the last affiliate link clicked by the customer before buying. Currently, the program offers a 30-day cookie duration.

Impact pays your commissions once a month through e-transfer or PayPal. However, your account balance must reach $10 before you can withdraw your money.
