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.
Extenze
Pros
- Commission of Up to 50% commission on a sale based model, the model behind 75% of programmes in this group.
- Tracking and payouts sit with SellHealth, a named network rather than a private contract.
- Support runs on email and help centre, which handles most questions in writing.
Cons
- Commission attaches to a completed sale under cps, so a referral earns nothing until the order clears.
- Support runs on email and help centre only, with no phone or live chat route listed.
- referral is the only feature named, so anyone after direct terms finds a referral route instead.
Who each suits
1-800 Contacts
Who it suits

- Writers who need a long window for considered purchases, because the cookie lasts 45 days.
- People already inside the Impact network who want a retail offer on repeat purchase categories.
Who should look elsewhere
- EarnKaro, if you want a profit share, since it pays Up to 50% profit, 10% lifetime referral instead of a percentage of the order.
- Influenciador Magalu, if you work in a marketplace and want a per sale rate, because it pays Up to 12% per sale.
- CashKaro, if you want to be paid on cashback your audience already earned, which it shares at 10% of friend's cashback.
Extenze
Who it suits
- Publishers already running offers through SellHealth.
- Health and wellness writers, since the vertical is health.
- Those paid per sale, because cps is the model on offer.

- Cashback promoters, because CashKaro works on 10% of friend's cashback.
- Publishers chasing a flat rate, since TestRX pays 50% per sale on every sale while Up to 50% commission applies here.
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.
Extenze
How much commission does Extenze pay?+
Extenze lists Up to 50% commission, with a headline rate of up to 50%. Commission is tied to completed sales under cps, so the rate applies when a referred buyer orders and the sale clears, not on a signup or a click.
Is Extenze paid per lead or per sale?+
The programme is listed as cps, which means commission attaches to a completed sale rather than a lead. That matches the wider group, where 75% of programmes share the model, so fewer actions earn but each one is worth more.
