We get people offline through quality local experiences at great value
Your followers already ask where you got brunch. Send them a link that pays you.
Brands & media houses we work with
Two ways to earn
Influencers make the content. Affiliates drive the traffic. Either way, you earn when deals sell.
Creators, Influencers & UGC
You know your city. We hand you its best spas, restaurants, and attractions at prices your audience will screenshot.
- Up to 10% commission on tracked sales
- Flat-fee campaign invitations for select creators
- Free experiences and product seeding
- Exclusive promo codes for your followers
- Featured placement across Groupon channels
Affiliate Partners
Built for publishers, agencies, cashback and coupon platforms that move volume and expect reliable tracking.
- Competitive commission rates
- Deep, always-fresh deal feed
- Reliable tracking via CJ (Commission Junction)
- Dedicated affiliate team
Your audience is already here
Millions of shoppers open Groupon ready to book. Your followers don't need convincing to save money. They need the link.
Your own landing page
Work with the Groupon influencer team to build a personal landing page you can send your followers straight to.
Every local category, one feed
Things to do, beauty, wellness, dining, travel, and goods, all in one place.
A tip, not an ad
Real discounts people already search for. Your post reads like a recommendation, because it is one.
Paid on real sales
You earn when someone books, and you can see every sale in your tracking. No vanity metrics.
Quality you can actually trust
Every deal is a real, bookable experience. Spas, dining, tours, activities. You only share what's worth it, so your recommendations stay credible.
Your city has more than you think
Endless local inventory in every major market means fresh content year-round, not the same handful of deals everyone else is posting.

A few of the influencers we work with, and what they're making.
I love partnering with Groupon because they allow me to strike the balance between promoting the brand while featuring content I know my audience will love. There are so many unique deals in Groupon that are both easy and fun to make engaging videos about!
The three questions everyone asks
How much will I earn? +
- You earn up to 10% commission on every tracked sale your links and codes drive. Your exact rate is confirmed in your program agreement when you're approved.
- Eligible influencers also get invited to flat-fee campaigns, guaranteed pay on top of commission. Rates vary by campaign and audience.
When do I get paid? +
- Payouts run through CJ, our affiliate network, typically on net-60 terms, about 60 days after the sale.
- Earnings clear after the return window closes, so refunds and cancellations don't count against you later.
Is my audience big enough? +
- We review every application, whatever your size. There's no minimum follower count to apply.
- An engaged local audience matters more to us than a follower count.
