Merchant Hub – The Most Comprehensive Affiliate Program Directory

Being “Indispensable” is the mission of FMTC, and Merchant Hub is a gigantic leap toward that goal.

Publishers Use Merchant Hub to:

Find Merchants that Complement Your Site

The old way to identify merchants and products to promote is by going to multiple eCommerce websites to see who offers the types of products that interest readers in your niche. If a suitable fit didn’t have an “affiliates” link in their footer, you would “google” that store’s name along with “affiliate program”. Most often, you would be unable to find that merchant’s affiliate program, or find and join their program without knowing they also offered their program through your preferred affiliate network.

Stop the Madness!

Merchant Hub solves the problems I just described because it is a dynamically updated, affiliate program directory. Merchant Hub contains over 10,000 merchant programs, with new ones added each day. Sure, there are other affiliate program directories out there, but they are outdated and clunky.

FMTC is integrated with 24 affiliate networks to provide automatically updated results. If you already know the name of the program you want to add to your site, you can search by merchant name. If you’re on the hunt for new potential partners, you can narrow your search by more than 125 categories. Have a preferred OPM? You can narrow your search to only display programs managed by that agency.
