Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: April 23, 2026
I Only Shop Sales is a participant in affiliate marketing programs. When you click links on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This page explains exactly how this works and what it means for your experience on our site.
How Affiliate Links Work
When you click on a product link on I Only Shop Sales and are redirected to a retailer's website, that link may contain affiliate tracking parameters. If you make a purchase on the retailer's site after clicking through, we may earn a small commission. This commission is paid by the retailer from their marketing budget and does not increase the price you pay.
Our Affiliate Partners
We work with several types of affiliate services to connect you with deals:
- Auto-affiliate link services — such as Sovrn Commerce and Skimlinks — that automatically monetize outbound links to supported retailers.
- Direct affiliate networks — such as Awin, Rakuten Advertising, CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction), Impact, and ShareASale — that manage affiliate programs for specific brands.
- Direct brand partnerships — some retailers operate their own affiliate programs that we participate in directly.
This Does Not Influence Our Editorial Decisions
Our deal verdict system — which rates deals as Strong Deal, Smart Buy, or Easy Win — uses rule-based analysis that is completely independent of our affiliate relationships. We never promote a product because it has a higher commission rate, and we never suppress a deal because it has a lower one.
Product selection is based entirely on:
- Discount depth: Only products with a verified discount of 25% or more are listed.
- Price accuracy: Prices come directly from retailer feeds and are updated every 12 hours.
- Availability: We only display in-stock products from active feeds.
Price Accuracy
Product prices are sourced directly from retailers and may change between when we last checked and when you visit the retailer's site. We update prices regularly (every 12 hours) but cannot guarantee real-time accuracy. Always verify the final price on the retailer's website before purchasing.
What This Means for You
- You will never pay more because you clicked an affiliate link.
- You are free to purchase directly from the retailer without using our links.
- We are transparent about our use of affiliate links throughout our site.
- You can always verify prices on the retailer's website before purchasing.
FTC Compliance
We are committed to FTC compliance and transparency. In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose our affiliate relationships clearly on this page and with inline disclosures on every page that features affiliate links. All affiliate links on our pages are marked with rel="nofollow sponsored" attributes as recommended by search engine guidelines.
