Pros and cons
1-800 Contacts
Pros
- The top of the range is 1% to 14%, which is a strong retail rate for a product most audiences buy once or twice a year.
- A 45 day window gives readers time to think over a contact lens order, and it outlasts the 30 upper quartile in the ecommerce and retail group.
- Two entry routes are open, direct and referral, so you can promote the brand directly and also earn from referrals.
Cons
- Recurring commission is no, so every payout depends on a fresh sale and a repeat contact lens buyer leaves the programme's earnings behind.
- Only Impact is listed, so there is no second network to switch to if approvals or tracking shift.
- Returning orders fall to 14% new orders, 1% returning at the low end, well below the headline rate, which limits repeat value.
Canatura
Pros
- Pays 5% to 10% per sale, a direct sale rate rather than a cut of someone else's cashback.
- A 30 day window sits at the typical mark on the site, 30.
- Support covers email and phone, so a publisher can pick up the phone.
Cons
- No recurring commission, so every sale has to be won again.
- The 30 day window places it 39 of 129 brands in the site's cookie ranking.
- Coverage sits in europe only, so the audience is narrower than global programmes.

Questions about each
1-800 Contacts
How much does the programme pay on an order?+
Commission runs 1% to 14%, with the published terms reading 14% new orders, 1% returning. Payments sit on a CPS model, so a sale has to complete inside the window before anything is earned. The headline rate applies to a new order, while returning buyers are worth a fraction of it.
How long do I have to convert a click?+
The cookie window is 45 days from the click. That is generous for a considered purchase such as a contact lens order, where readers often check prescription details and compare lens options first. It also runs past the 30 upper quartile across the ecommerce and retail group.
Canatura
What commission does Canatura pay?+
Canatura pays 5% to 10% per sale, listed as Up to 10% per sale. The model is cost per sale, so earnings depend on completed orders rather than clicks. There is no recurring commission, which means a repeat buyer does not generate a second payment.
How long is the Canatura cookie window?+
The window runs 30 days from the click, which places Canatura 39 of 129 brands in the site's cookie ranking. That sits close to the 30 seen across the site's listings, so a shopper who returns after a long delay is a realistic loss.
