Health Trader

What Health Trader does

HealthTrader Ltd is a UK-based, privately held affiliate network founded in 2013 and headquartered in Croydon. The company operates a performance-marketing platform that exclusively serves the health, pharmacy, and wellness verticals, connecting vetted advertisers with publishers, SEO affiliates, cashback sites, media buyers, and social media influencers who monetize traffic through CPA or percentage-based commissions. HealthTrader positions itself as a regulated-friendly alternative to generalist affiliate networks, and it holds GDPR compliance with ICO registration (ZA063336).

The platform's core technology stack is a multi-method attribution engine that combines Server-to-Server (S2S) tracking, database-level logging, IP-based attribution, and cookie-based tracking to record conversions across multi-step health-offer funnels. Self-serve onboarding via affiliates.healthtrader.com enables global partner sign-up, and a real-time reporting dashboard exposes click, conversion, and revenue data to partners. Distribution is entirely digital: a content-marketing website, organic social channels (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), and a compliant email-marketing programme. The product surface consists of two program offerings (Affiliate Program for traditional publishers and Influencer Program for creators) plus underlying tracking infrastructure.

The business model is a pure performance / take-rate arrangement: advertisers set commission rates, HealthTrader earns a share of validated transactions, and affiliates are paid within three business days of approval with no joining or monthly fees. No external funding, parent company, or subsidiary structure is disclosed; ownership appears closely held or founder-owned. The company serves a global market with a stated emphasis on US-based healthcare products, and scale commentary cites 3000+ affiliates and 4.9 partner ratings, though revenue, ARR, and headcount trend data are not disclosed.
