Help us grow

🌱

We want every veggie gardener to know about Planter!

Help us spread the word about Planter and earn a 15% commission to help feed your gardening habit 😉.

Who is this program for?

The affiliate program is for any gardener with a large social media presence (1,000+ followers), whether on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, or your own website.

We’re a very small team and it is a fairly manual process to calculate referral sales. We’ve structured this program to make things easier on us so that we can keep our focus on making the app better. As a result, we are selective about enrollment, there is a minimum payment threshold, and payouts are calculated just twice a year.

If you don’t have many followers, this program unfortunately isn’t for you, although we really appreciate your enthusiasm!

Federal Trade Commission

Planter requires that each affiliate comply with the rules and guidelines expressed by the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) and that failure to do so may result in removal from our affiliate program and cancellation of commissions. In December 2009 the FTC released guidelines which require transparency by any affiliate who uses reviews, rankings, or testimonials to promote products or services which would disclose the fact to website visitors that the affiliate is compensated for their reviews, rankings, or testimonials.

Please read the FTC: Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.

As an affiliate, how can you comply with the FTC rules?

To comply with the FTC rules you should meet four basic requirements regarding your disclosure to your website visitors that you may receive compensation for your reviews, recommendations, rankings, etc. Your disclosures should be frequent, clear, conspicuous, and require no additional scrolling or other type of action (like hovering) to be able to see the disclosure.

  1. The FTC advises that your disclosure should be on any page that has a review, recommendation, comment, or article that promotes any product or service for which you receive an affiliate commission.

  2. The FTC further advises that it should be clear to the reader that as an affiliate you may receive compensation for your reviews, recommendations, rankings, etc.

  3. The disclosure should be in text which is at least as large as the other text on your website page and should be in contrast with both the background of the website page and with the other text on that page. So for example if your website page background is white and your text is black, you should use a dark color (other than and distinctive compared to Black Text) like bright blue for your disclosure’s text.

  4. The disclosure should also start with the word “Disclosure”.

Please Note: The information provided here is intended as guidance only and is not intended as legal advice. Should you need more legal advice regarding how these rules pertain to your website you should seek a legal advisor.
