Short answer: The best affiliate programs in Pakistan are the ones that can actually pay you here. That means programs that pay in rupees to a bank, JazzCash or Easypaisa (Daraz, Markaz, Easyhost, DoctorHoster, WebX.pk), and global programs that pay by bank transfer or Payoneer (Hostinger, Systeme.io, and brands on the CJ and Awin networks). Programs that pay only through PayPal are a dead end, because PayPal does not offer accounts in Pakistan.
Key takeaways
- Start with the payout, not the percentage. A 60% commission is worth nothing if the only payout method is PayPal.
- Local programs pay in rupees: Easyhost pays to JazzCash or Easypaisa from Rs 1,500, WebX.pk pays Rs 2,000 per paid signup by bank transfer, and DoctorHoster lists bank transfer, JazzCash and Easypaisa.
- Hostinger pays by bank transfer, but only from 500 US dollars and after 3 approved sales.
- Amazon Associates is open to non US persons, but Pakistan is not on its bank transfer list. That leaves an Amazon gift card or a paper cheque under Amazon’s policy.
- CJ and Awin pay through Payoneer, which works in Pakistan.
- Skip betting, binary options, pay to join schemes and anything that promises fixed income.
Most lists on this topic copy commission numbers from each other. One ranking page says Hostinger pays “up to $100 per sale” when Hostinger’s own agreement caps it at 300 dollars. Another lists five programs that pay only through PayPal without a word of warning. So I took every figure from the program’s own page on 12 November 2026. Where I could not read the page, the program is listed without a rate.

How do affiliate programs pay in Pakistan?
Four payout routes work in Pakistan. One does not.
| Route | Works in Pakistan? | Programs that use it |
|---|---|---|
| Rupees to JazzCash, Easypaisa or a local bank | Yes | Easyhost, DoctorHoster, WebX.pk, Markaz, Daraz |
| International bank or wire transfer | Yes, usually with a higher minimum | Hostinger, Systeme.io |
| Payoneer | Yes | CJ, Awin for international payments |
| Gift card or cheque | Limited use | Amazon Associates |
| PayPal only | No | Any program with no other payout method |
Do not use a relative’s foreign PayPal account or a bought “verified” account to collect commissions. It breaks the platform’s terms, the account can be frozen with your money in it, and you have no claim to funds in someone else’s name.
For fees and steps on the Payoneer side, see my guide to Payoneer withdrawal in Pakistan.
Which local affiliate programs pay in rupees?
These are the easiest to start with, because the customer is in Pakistan and so is the payout.
1. Daraz affiliate program
The program most beginners ask about. Daraz does not publish a rate card for Pakistan. The source by source breakdown is in my Daraz affiliate program guide.
Best for: deal pages, review channels and WhatsApp groups with buyers.
2. Markaz
Markaz is a reselling app with an affiliate side. You get a personal discount code and earn when a customer uses it at checkout. The page says earnings are “Paid in PKR”, joining is free with a Pakistani mobile number, and approval takes 2 to 3 business days. It does not publish a commission rate.
Best for: people who sell through WhatsApp and Facebook and want one app on their phone.
3. Easyhost
A Pakistani hosting company. Easyhost pays “up to 20%” of each sale, and “payouts go out once your balance reaches Rs 1,500”, sent to JazzCash or Easypaisa within 48 hours. Commission is released after the customer’s 30 day refund window, and the page also lists a Rs 250 sign up bonus.
Best for: anyone who teaches blogging, WordPress or small business websites in Urdu.
4. DoctorHoster
Another local host. DoctorHoster says “You get 10% commissions when you refer customers to us” and lists bank transfer, JazzCash, Easypaisa or hosting credit as payout options. It does not state a minimum or a cookie length.
Best for: website and hosting tutorials for a local audience.
5. WebX.pk
WebX.pk pays a flat amount: “PKR 2,000 per paid signup”, with a “30-day cookie window” and rewards “paid monthly via bank transfer on a net-30 basis”. You will need to complete KYC and give bank details.
Best for: creators who prefer a fixed amount per signup.
6. Butterfly
A fashion and lifestyle store. It pays “up to 7.5%” of the sale amount once you reach Rs 1,000, but “payments are processed through Store Credit Vouchers”. That is not cash, so it only makes sense if you would shop there anyway.
Best for: fashion creators who already shop at Butterfly.
Two local programs that older lists still mention look gone. Savyour’s site did not load when checked on 12 November 2026, and Telemart’s affiliate link returns an error. Check that a program’s sign up page is live before you spend time on it.

7. Hostinger
Disclosure: I am a Hostinger affiliate myself, so this is the one program on the list that I use. I earn a commission if you buy hosting through my link, at no extra cost to you. How it has worked for me is in my Hostinger affiliate journey.
Hostinger‘s FAQ says “You can earn up to 40% revenue share” on web hosting, Reach and website builder packages, and “The affiliate cookies are stored for 30 days.” The details that matter in Pakistan:
- Minimum payout: 100 USD for PayPal, and “US$ 500 and 3 approved conversions for bank transfers”. For us that means 500 dollars.
- Only first purchases of 12 months or longer count. Renewals and one month plans do not.
- Cap: the agreement sets a maximum commission of 300 USD for one sale.
- Waiting time: only commissions older than 45 days are paid.
Best for: YouTube tutorials and blog posts about starting a website. It pays well per sale, so a few sales a month add up, but the 500 dollar threshold means patience. If you are here to buy hosting, not promote it, my Hostinger Pakistan page has the current prices.
8. Systeme.io
Marketing software with a recurring commission: you are paid every month the customer stays subscribed. Systeme.io lists “60% on every sale”, a lifetime link between you and the referred customer, a 30 USD minimum and payout by “PayPal or wire transfer”. Joining is free with no application, and payouts are processed monthly on the 10th.
Best for: creators who teach funnels, email marketing or online courses.
9. Shopify
Shopify pays “up to $150 USD per qualified referral”, tracks referrals for 30 days and needs a 10 USD balance to withdraw. The program runs on the Impact network, which pays to a bank account or PayPal depending on your account currency. Whether Impact’s bank payout covers Pakistani accounts is not stated on the pages read, so confirm it in the dashboard after you are approved.
Best for: ecommerce educators with an audience of store owners.
10. Bluehost
“Affiliates earn $65 for each qualified sale”, with a 30 day cookie. Payment is by PayPal or direct deposit through Impact, with the same Pakistan question as Shopify.
Best for: WordPress tutorials, once you confirm the payout route.
11. Amazon Associates: does it accept Pakistan?
Short answer: you can join from Pakistan, but getting paid here is the problem.
- Joining: Amazon’s policy does not list accepted or excluded countries. It has a clause for “a non-US person participating in the Associates Program”, so people outside the US can take part.
- Rates: from 0% to 10% depending on the category. Luxury beauty is at the top, many everyday categories pay 3% or 4%, and groceries pay 1%.
- Tracking: a session ends 24 hours after the click.
- Payment: Amazon offers direct deposit, an Amazon gift card or a cheque. Amazon‘s international bank transfer list covers banks in the US, the UK, the euro zone and other listed countries. Pakistan is not on it.
- What that leaves: a gift card (10 USD minimum, spendable only on Amazon) or a paper cheque (100 USD minimum, 15 USD fee per cheque) under Amazon’s policy.
Payoneer says in its own Pakistan guide that affiliates here can receive international affiliate earnings through a Payoneer account. That is Payoneer’s statement, not Amazon’s, and it adds that options depend on the program’s country settings.
Your audience also has to be in the US or another Amazon market for the links to convert.
Verdict on Amazon: you can join from Pakistan, but getting paid is the weak point, and you need a foreign audience. For most beginners here it is not the first program to try.
12. Payoneer referral
Payoneer rewards you when someone you refer receives payments. Its help page says rewards are “generally 25 USD for you and for your friend, but amounts may vary”, and the reward is credited to your Payoneer balance. Two official pages give different conditions, so trust the offer shown inside your own account.
Best for: people who already teach freelancing, since every new freelancer needs a way to get paid.
Affiliate networks: one account, many brands
A network gives you one account and one payout for many brands. You join once, then apply to each brand inside.
| Network | Minimum payout | How it pays | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| CJ | 50 USD direct deposit | Direct deposit or Payoneer | Its publisher page says Payoneer lets you “get paid in your local currency via your local bank account” |
| Awin | Not stated on the page read | Local bank methods; Payoneer for international transfers | No minimum follower count to join as a creator |
| Impact | 10 USD | Bank account or PayPal, by account currency | Charges a monthly fee after 6 months if it cannot pay you |
ShareASale, which many older guides still recommend, closed in October 2025 and moved its accounts to Awin.
Programs listed elsewhere that I could not verify
Fiverr, Canva, Namecheap, ClickBank, Temu and AliExpress all have affiliate programs. Their official pages could not be read on 12 November 2026, and third party sites disagree with each other on the rates. So they are named here without numbers:
- Fiverr Affiliates: a natural fit for freelancing content. Check the current commission plan in the dashboard.
- Canva: you must be accepted as a Canvassador first.
- Namecheap: runs through Impact and CJ, so payout follows those networks.
- ClickBank: many of its products are health and “make money” offers. Choose carefully and never make income claims.
Which affiliate program is best for beginners in Pakistan?
| Your situation | Start with | Why |
|---|---|---|
| WhatsApp or Facebook audience that shops online | Daraz or Markaz | Customers already buy there, paid in rupees |
| You teach websites, blogging or WordPress | Easyhost or Hostinger | People need hosting right after your tutorial |
| You teach freelancing | Payoneer referral, then Fiverr | Every beginner needs both |
| You teach ecommerce | Shopify | High payout per referral |
| You have a foreign audience | CJ or Awin brands, Amazon | Wider choice, Payoneer payout on the networks |
| Fashion audience on Instagram or TikTok | Daraz fashion categories | Highest reported Daraz rates are in fashion and beauty |
My recommendation: choose one program that fits what you already talk about, make ten honest pieces of content around it, and only then add a second one.
Pinterest affiliate marketing in Pakistan
Pinterest‘s Community Guidelines, last updated in May 2026, do not ban affiliate links. The rules that matter are in the spam section: do not post “repetitive, deceptive, or irrelevant” content to make money, and links should not surprise people with redirects. Pinterest has no Pakistan specific rule.
So: original pins, a direct link and no cloaking. Pinterest pays nothing itself; your income is the commission from the program behind the link.
Is affiliate income taxed in Pakistan?
Commission is income. Money from a Pakistani company is local income, and the company may deduct withholding tax before paying you. Money from abroad that arrives through a bank is foreign income, and your bank may deduct tax under section 154A (1% in the general case) when it arrives, depending on the purpose code. In both cases the income goes in your return.
For the rules on foreign income, see freelancer tax in Pakistan.
Disclosure and rules you must follow
- Say that the link is an affiliate link. Amazon’s agreement requires it, and readers deserve it everywhere.
- Do not buy through your own link or bid on the brand’s name in ads; most programs cancel those commissions.
- Read the rejection and hold rules. Hostinger, for example, can hold commissions for review and charges an administrative fee of 125 USD if it ends your account for breaking its terms.
Which affiliate programs should you avoid?
If a program pays you to recruit people, asks for a joining fee or promises a fixed income, it is not an affiliate program. It is the product, and you are the customer.
- Betting and “prediction” apps. Illegal to promote and harmful to your audience.
- Binary options and similar trading apps. I never recommend them in any form.
- Pay to join schemes where the commission comes from the next person’s joining fee.
- Crypto exchange referrals aimed at people in Pakistan. Promotion of virtual asset services here falls under PVARA’s rules, so do not treat these as ordinary affiliate links. See PVARA explained.
For apps that promise easy income, see my guide to earning apps in Pakistan.
Roman Urdu summary: Pakistan me behtareen affiliate program woh hai jo aap ko yahan paisa de sake. Local programs (Daraz, Markaz, Easyhost, DoctorHoster, WebX.pk) rupees me bank, JazzCash ya Easypaisa par dete hain. Hostinger bank transfer se deta hai lekin minimum 500 dollar hai. Amazon Associates join ho jata hai magar Pakistan ke bank me transfer nahi karta, sirf gift card ya cheque. Jo program sirf PayPal se pay kare, woh Pakistan ke liye bekaar hai. Ek program chunen jo aap ke content se milta ho, aur pehle audience banayen.
FAQs about affiliate programs in Pakistan
Which affiliate program is best in Pakistan?
The one that matches your audience and can pay you here. For a shopping audience it is Daraz or Markaz, for website and blogging content it is Easyhost or Hostinger, and for freelancing content it is the Payoneer referral. For a fashion audience, Daraz fashion categories have the highest reported Daraz rates, and Butterfly pays up to 7.5% in store credit only.
Does Amazon Associates accept Pakistan?
Amazon’s policy allows non US persons to take part and names no excluded countries. Pakistan is not on Amazon’s international bank transfer list, so payment is by Amazon gift card or cheque under its policy, and you need an audience in a country Amazon serves.
Can I do affiliate marketing in Pakistan without a website?
Yes. A YouTube channel, TikTok or Instagram account, Facebook page or WhatsApp channel is enough for most programs. Some, like Hostinger, ask for your website or channel link when you apply.
What are the highest paying affiliate programs in Pakistan?
By published rate, Systeme.io (60% recurring), Hostinger (up to 40%, capped at 300 USD a sale), Shopify (up to 150 USD a referral) and Bluehost (65 USD a sale). A high rate means little without the right audience, and Hostinger needs 500 USD before a bank payout.
Is affiliate marketing legal in Pakistan?
Promoting lawful products for a commission is ordinary business income. Promoting betting, binary options or unlicensed financial and crypto services is a different matter and can break the law.
Do I need to pay to join an affiliate program?
No. Every program verified for this guide is free to join, and none requires a course. A joining fee is a warning sign.
Do I pay tax on affiliate income in Pakistan?
Yes. It is income and belongs in your tax return, whether it comes from a Pakistani company or from abroad through your bank. On commission paid by a Pakistani company, the Income Tax Ordinance sets 12% withholding under section 233, doubled if you are not on the Active Taxpayers List.
