Affiliate Disclosure

StoreCartel is reader-supported. When you click certain links on this site and sign up for or purchase a product, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This page explains exactly how that works.

Which links are affiliate links

Not every link on StoreCartel is an affiliate link. Where an affiliate relationship exists, the outbound link (usually a "Visit" or "Try" button) goes through our own /go/ redirect and carries a rel="sponsored" attribute, which is the technical, machine-readable disclosure search engines look for.

As of this writing, we have active affiliate (or partner) relationships for Shopify, SellShop, Printful, Printify, AutoDS, Zendrop, GemPages, and Sell The Trend. Other tools we review link to the vendor's official site with no commission unless we note otherwise after a new partnership goes live.

How this affects our reviews

Pros and cons and verdicts are written independently of whether a tool has an affiliate program. We do not rate a tool higher because it pays a commission, and we say explicitly in a review when a tool has no affiliate program rather than pretending otherwise. If we ever recommend a paid upgrade or a specific plan tier, that recommendation reflects what we would suggest to a friend, not which option pays the highest commission.

Why we do this

Researching tools, keeping pricing information current and writing detailed comparisons takes real time. Affiliate commissions are how this site sustains that work without charging readers directly or filling the site with display ads. See our About page for the full editorial policy behind how pages are written and updated.
