Our Commitment to Transparency
At HomeStoreLinks, we believe in complete honesty with our readers. This page explains how we make money, how we choose products, and what that means for you.
How We Earn Commissions
HomeStoreLinks participates in affiliate marketing programs, which means we earn a commission when you purchase products through links on our website. Here’s how it works:
Amazon Associates Program
We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated international Amazon sites (Amazon.ca, Amazon.co.uk, etc.).
What This Means:
- When you click a product link on our site and make a purchase on Amazon, we earn a small percentage of that sale
- This commission comes at no extra cost to you—the price you pay is identical whether you use our link or visit Amazon directly
- We earn commissions on all items in your Amazon cart within 24 hours of clicking our link, not just the products we recommend
Other Affiliate Partnerships
In addition to Amazon Associates, we may partner with other retailers and affiliate networks including:
- Individual brand affiliate programs
- Commission Junction (CJ Affiliate)
- ShareASale
- Impact
- Other merchant affiliate programs
The same principle applies: if you purchase through our links, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
Our Editorial Independence
Our recommendations are never for sale. Here’s our promise to you:
How We Choose Products
We feature products based on:
- Personal testing and research – We research extensively and, when possible, test products ourselves
- Customer reviews and ratings – We analyze thousands of verified customer reviews
- Expert opinions – We consult industry experts and trusted sources
- Real-world performance – We prioritize products that solve actual problems
- Value for money – We consider price, quality, and long-term durability
What We DON’T Do
- ❌ Feature products solely because they pay higher commissions
- ❌ Recommend products we wouldn’t buy ourselves
- ❌ Hide negative aspects of products to increase sales
- ❌ Accept payment for positive reviews
- ❌ Promote products without proper research
Our goal is simple: recommend products we genuinely believe will improve your life. If a product pays us a higher commission but doesn’t meet our quality standards, we won’t recommend it.
Your Purchase Decisions
You are in complete control. Our affiliate relationships do not influence:
- The price you pay (Amazon and retailers set their own prices)
- Your consumer rights and protections
- Your ability to shop elsewhere
- Product warranties or return policies
We encourage you to:
- Compare prices across multiple retailers
- Read full product specifications before purchasing
- Check return policies and warranties
- Make decisions based on your specific needs
FTC Compliance
We comply fully with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. In accordance with 16 CFR Part 255, we disclose our material connections with brands and retailers.
You’ll see affiliate disclaimers:
- At the top or bottom of articles featuring affiliate links
- Near product recommendations and links
- On collection pages with curated products
- Anywhere we may earn a commission from your purchase
