How can I join the Skim500?

Skim500 is Skimlinks’ curated group of high-performing merchants that receive additional support and opportunities within the network, including dedicated account management, publisher partnerships, and tailored insights.

Membership is by invitation only. We review merchants for inclusion every six months, based on a combination of performance and fit within the network.

To be considered, merchants typically meet the following criteria:

• Live with Skimlinks for at least 6 months
• Generating $3,000+ per month in the US or £2,000+ per month in the UK in Editorial Content Publisher* commissions, consistently for six consecutive months
• Average order value of at least $70 (excluding subscription-based verticals such as streaming or software)
• Operates within one of our 34 supported verticals, where we have strong publisher coverage
• Offers products or services that are relevant year-round (even if activity varies seasonally)
• Maintains low reversal rates relative to the industry
• Shows strong interest and engagement from editorial content publishers

Merchants that meet these criteria may be contacted by the Skimlinks team during the review process.
