How to Join the SHEIN Affiliate Program & Get Free Products (the Right Way)
Learn the complete step-by-step guide to become a SHEIN affiliate and get free products legally
Discover how to join the SHEIN affiliate program, access the Free Trial Center, and maximize your earnings with proper disclosure and best practices. This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know to succeed as a SHEIN creator.
Part 1 — Become a SHEIN Affiliate
1. Prepare your creator profile
Have an active Instagram/TikTok/YouTube or a blog with a fashion/lifestyle angle, plus a short bio, audience stats, and recent posts that are brand-safe.
2. Apply via the SHEIN app (mobile)
Open the SHEIN app on your phone and look for the Affiliate / Creator section (often found through search or the “Membership/Creator” area). Complete the application with your social links and payment info. Note: multiple third-party guides report the program is accessed and managed on mobile.
3. Wait for approval and set up tracking
Once approved, you’ll get access to your affiliate dashboard to generate product links and track clicks/sales. Use short links or a link-in-bio tool to organize collections.
4. Disclose properly
Always add a visible disclosure near your links (e.g., “I earn a commission from qualifying purchases”). Use clear tags like #ad or #affiliate when required.
5. Publish to convert
Post try-ons, sizing tips, and “shop the look” carousels. Prioritize evergreen items and current promos; pin your best sellers and keep stories highlights with “Shop” links.
Part 2 — How to Get 100% Free Products from SHEIN (Legit Methods)
A) SHEIN Free Trial Center (for customers and creators)
Find the Free Trial Center
In the app, go to Personal Center → More Services → Other Services → Free Trial Center. You can apply for up to 3 items per week; winners are selected at random.
Apply correctly
Choose your size and make sure your delivery address matches the country site you’re using, then submit. Processing usually takes about a week.
If selected: complete your review
Shipping is covered by SHEIN; after you receive the item, you typically have 10 days to upload a detailed review with photos (quality, fit, fabric, pros/cons). You keep the item after posting the review. (Customs duties, if any, are your responsibility.)
Pro tip: High-quality, honest reviews (full-body + detail shots, clear text) improve your standing for future selections.
B) Optional: Campus Ambassador (U.S. only)
If you’re eligible (college students in the U.S.). SHEIN runs a Campus Ambassador program with region-specific rules (e.g., 18+, enrolled at a U.S. college, work authorization in the U.S.). Perks can include event support, product seeding, and creator opportunities.
