How to sign up
Becoming an Avon ambassador, step by step.
Decide on a Leader (optional)
If someone invited you, enter their name or referral code at sign-up. You don't need one: leave the field blank and Avon may assign you a mentor later.
Check you're eligible
You must be 18 and the age of majority in your state, and live in the US, DC, Guam or Saipan. Avon allows one Ambassador account per household.
Sign up online
Complete the Independent Ambassador Contract on avon.com/becomearep. Use your legal name and your own email, phone and address, not your Leader's.
Set up Avon Wallet
Avon pays online-store commissions, bonuses and incentives through Avon Wallet (run by Hyperwallet). You'll need a Social Security number or ITIN. Payouts go by Venmo, PayPal or check.
Personalize your online store
Add your photo and details, then share your store link and the current digital brochure. Online orders ship straight to your customers.
Place your first order
Order for yourself or for customers you'll deliver to. Commission starts once campaign sales reach $40. Full payment is due when you order.
How you earn
The pay plan, in brief.
Most Ambassador income is commission on what you and your customers buy. Avon adds up your sales for each two-week campaign at brochure prices, and your rate rises as that total grows. On hand-delivered orders you pay Avon the discounted price and keep the difference. Online-store orders pay 20% to your Avon Wallet first, then are "trued up" to your full rate when the campaign closes.
Full details, pros and cons are on the Avon profile. Before you join, ask for the company’s current compensation plan and income disclosure.
Key points
- Beauty and jewelry: 20% from $40, 30% from $120, 40% from $350, 45% from $1,500, 50% from $6,500 in campaign sales (2026 guide).
- Fashion, home and partner brands: 20% from $40, 25% from $350.
- Avon's own example: sell a $10 lipstick at the 40% level, pay Avon $6 plus tax, and keep the rest.
- Team pay: a 3% Sponsoring Bonus on recruits' sales once you sell $50 in a campaign, then Generation and Leader Bonuses of 2% to 8% for Promoter and Leader titles.
- Leadership bonuses in 2026 require 4 new personally sourced Ambassadors, each placing a $100+ order early on. Miss it and those bonuses are forfeited.
- Avon does not publish a US income disclosure statement that we could find. Ask your Leader for real earnings figures.

Your first 30 days
A simple plan for your first month.
Days 1–3
Learn the brochure
Flip through the current campaign's digital brochure and pick a few products you'd honestly recommend. Classics like Skin So Soft are an easy start.
Days 3–7
Share your online store
Send your store link to friends and family with a short personal note. Online orders ship direct, so you don't hold stock.
Week 2
Place a small first order
Combine your own order with customer orders to pass $40 in campaign sales. That's where commission starts (Avon policy).
Week 3
Set a campaign rhythm
Avon runs on two-week campaigns. A simple habit is to share each new brochure on day one and follow up a few days before it closes.
Week 4
Review your numbers
Check your Avon Wallet and campaign totals. Note which products sold and what you spent on samples, so you know your real profit.

FAQ
Questions about joining Avon.
How much does it cost to join Avon?
Nothing. Avon's US sign-up page says joining costs $0, with no hidden fees and no minimum order. You only pay for products you order, plus tax and shipping.
Is Avon still in business in the US?
Yes. The 2024 Chapter 11 case involved Avon Products Inc., the former parent, mainly over talc lawsuits. The US company, The Avon Company, was a separate business and kept trading. Regent agreed in August 2026 to buy it, reuniting it with Avon International.
Can I join Avon without a Leader?
Yes. Leave the referral field blank when you sign up. Avon says it may assign you a mentor later.
Do Avon Ambassadors have to buy inventory?
No. There's no kit and no minimum. Customers can order from your online store and Avon ships to them. You only need to place an order at least once every 6 campaigns to stay active.
How do Avon Ambassadors get paid?
On hand-delivered orders you keep the difference between your discounted cost and the brochure price. Online-store commissions, bonuses and incentives go to Avon Wallet and pay out by Venmo, PayPal or check.
What happens if I stop ordering?
If you place no order for 6 campaigns in a row, Avon removes you from its active file. You can self-reinstate within 26 campaigns with no fee, as long as your balance is paid.
Can I return products if I quit Avon?
Within 6 months of closing your account, Avon will buy back currently marketable inventory and required sales aids you bought in the previous 12 months, at the price you paid. Any balance you owe is deducted first.
