Program terms change frequently. Every record shows a verification status and links to the official program page — always confirm commission, cookie and eligibility with the merchant before you build content around them. Records marked as unverified sample data are placeholders for testing this directory and must not be treated as fact.
Overview
A flat bounty per new subscriber makes BarkBox unusually easy to model: you know exactly what a conversion is worth, which suits gift guides and new-puppy content where order values are otherwise small. The trade-off is that only new subscriptions pay — the rest of the store is excluded — so it belongs alongside a broad retailer rather than instead of one.
