Affiliate Disclosure

Welcome to The Shop Info! Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a loyal reader, we appreciate you being here. As you browse through our carefully curated recommendations, reviews, and guides, it’s important for us to be upfront and transparent about how our website operates. Transparency builds trust, and your trust means everything to us.

This page explains our participation in affiliate programs, how it works, and why it matters. It’s not just about meeting legal requirements—it’s also about being open and honest with you, our valued readers.

What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Let’s start with the basics. Affiliate marketing is a way for businesses to partner with content creators (like us) to promote their products or services. When we include affiliate links on The Shop Info and you click on one to make a purchase, we may earn a small commission.

The best part? This doesn’t cost you anything extra. Whether you shop through our affiliate link or go directly to the retailer’s website, the price you pay remains the same. The commission we earn is covered by the retailer as a way of saying, “Thanks for sending customers our way!”

Why Does The Shop Info Use Affiliate Links?

We use affiliate links for two main reasons:

1. To Support Our Mission: Running a website like The Shop Info takes time, effort, and resources. From researching products to writing in-depth reviews and maintaining our platform, there are costs involved. Affiliate commissions help us keep the lights on and continue providing you with valuable, free content.

2. To Provide Honest Recommendations: Affiliate marketing allows us to focus on what we love—sharing high-quality products and helpful advice with you. Since we only earn commissions when you find value in what we recommend, it keeps us motivated to share genuinely useful products and services.

Our Commitment to Transparency

We understand how overwhelming online shopping can be, especially with so many options available. Our goal is to simplify your experience by recommending products and services we genuinely believe in. Here’s how we ensure transparency and integrity:

• Honest Reviews Only: We don’t promote products just to earn commissions. Every product or service featured on The Shop Info has been carefully vetted. If it doesn’t meet our standards, it doesn’t make the list.
• Independent Opinions: While affiliate partnerships may influence what we choose to feature, they never dictate our opinions. Our reviews are unbiased, based on research, hands-on testing, or feedback from real users.
• Disclosure on Every Page: You’ll find clear disclosures near any affiliate links. We want you to know when we stand to earn a commission, so there’s no guesswork involved.

Programs We Participate In

The Shop Info participates in several affiliate programs, including (but not limited to):

• Amazon Associates Program: As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Amazon is one of the most trusted online retailers, and we love their wide range of products and reliable service.
• Our Partnership with Impact.com: Impact.com is a trusted affiliate network that helps us connect with brands that align with our mission of delivering high-quality recommendations. By partnering through Impact, we gain access to a diverse range of reputable companies and products.
• Other Trusted Retailers: We may also work with brands or marketplaces directly, promoting products or services through their affiliate programs.

By partnering with reputable programs, we can recommend products from brands we trust while earning a fair commission for our efforts.

How This Affects You

Using affiliate links doesn’t change your shopping experience—it’s just like shopping directly with the retailer. Here’s what you should know:

• No Extra Costs: You won’t pay a penny more by clicking on our affiliate links. In fact, in some cases, you might even get access to exclusive discounts or deals we’ve secured for our readers.
• Same Great Products: We link directly to trusted retailers and reputable brands to ensure you’re getting high-quality products.

Our Values: Trust, Integrity, and Value

Your trust is our greatest asset, and we take it seriously. We understand that affiliate marketing only works when there’s mutual trust. That’s why we focus on:

• Integrity First: We never compromise our values for the sake of earning commissions. If a product doesn’t align with our standards, it won’t appear on The Shop Info.
• Adding Value: Our goal is to save you time and money by helping you make informed decisions. Whether it’s a detailed product review, a comparison guide, or a helpful how-to article, everything we share is designed with your best interests in mind.

A Heartfelt Thank You

When you choose to shop through our affiliate links, you’re directly supporting The Shop Info. Your trust and support mean the world to us, and we don’t take it lightly. Every click, purchase, and share helps us continue creating valuable content and improving your experience.

FAQs About Affiliate Links

Here are a few common questions about our affiliate practices:

1. Do affiliate links mean you’re biased?
Not at all. While we may earn a commission from certain products, our recommendations are based on quality, usefulness, and value—not payouts.

2. Do all links on your site earn you a commission?
No. Some links are purely informational or direct you to non-affiliate resources. We clearly disclose when a link is an affiliate link.

3. What if I don’t want to use affiliate links?
That’s completely fine! You can always search for the products we recommend directly. We’re grateful for your support, whether or not it’s through an affiliate link.
