Editor's verdict
Ekster, the smart wallet and accessories brand, runs two partner tracks. Media publications, apps and shopping platforms join its affiliate program through Rakuten Advertising, where rates are not published. Individual creators can join the Ambassador program instead, which pays 10% on every sale through a referral link, with monthly PayPal payouts once the balance passes $50.
The Ambassador track suits social, YouTube and newsletter creators covering everyday carry, travel and gadgets. Watch for the ban on bidding for branded terms such as Ekster wallet, and note that cookie length and Rakuten-side terms are not stated publicly.
