How We Make Money
ParentShopper is supported through affiliate marketing. This means we earn small commissions when you purchase products through links on our website.
Important: This doesn't cost you anything extra. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you click our link or go directly to the retailer.
Our Affiliate Partners
We primarily work with Amazon Associates, as they offer the widest selection of products and competitive prices. When you see links to Amazon products, they are affiliate links.
We particularly value Amazon for their smooth return policy, which offers free, question-free returns for most products, making it easier for you to shop with confidence.
We may also work with other retailers when they offer better prices or exclusive products that we believe would benefit our readers.
Our Commitment to Honesty
Our affiliate relationships never influence our recommendations. Here's how we maintain our independence:
- We recommend products we genuinely believe in - regardless of commission rates
- We're honest about product limitations - even when it might hurt sales
- We don't accept payment for positive reviews - our opinions are genuinely ours
- We update our recommendations - when better products become available
- We disclose our affiliate relationships - transparency is important to us
Why This Matters
Affiliate marketing allows us to:
- Keep our content free - no paywalls or subscription fees
- Invest in research - buying products to test and review
- Maintain our independence - we're not beholden to advertisers
- Update our recommendations - as new products and information become available
Your Trust is Our Priority
We understand that trust is earned, not given. That's why we:
- Clearly mark affiliate links when possible
- Provide honest, balanced reviews that include both pros and cons
- Update our content regularly to reflect current information
- Respond to reader feedback and questions
- Maintain strict editorial independence from our affiliate partners
