Waterstones.com is different from other sites, a little bit special we like to think.

Our online booksellers have a genuine love of books, expertly hand-picking key titles and creating great product offers for every taste. And our customers are as passionate as we are, leaving thousands of quality reviews and grilling famous authors in our online interviews.

How do affiliate programmes work?

It's very simple. If you have a website and you link to Waterstones.com (whether that's from a banner, some text or a specific product), you will get a commission on any sales that your links refer to us. We both work with a network that supplies you with any information you need, tracks everything and automatically pays you when someone buys.

So why work with us, in a nutshell?

We're specialists: We're the leading book specialist. Books are what we know and love and we've got millions of titles at our online store.

We're competitive: We're more competitive on price than you might think, with a series of rolling promotions and up to 50% off on pre order titles and new releases.

We're service-led: We offer the same personal service online as we do in our stores, and of course, we offer free delivery to any UK address or Waterstone's store.

Waterstones.com not only provides affiliate partners with a known and trusted alternative to other book sites, we run a strong campaign with generous commissions and regular bonus incentives.

4% commission on all book sales and 3.5% on eReader sales. We do not however pay commission on digital eBooks or downloadable audio books.
