Commercial transparency
Affiliate disclosure
How Espresso Receipt may earn commissions, where commercial links appear, and why affiliate relationships do not control recommendations.
The plain-English disclosure
Espresso Receipt may earn a commission when you buy through certain links. You do not pay more because of that commission. A commission is never guaranteed, and it does not change eligibility or ranking in the finder.
Pages with monetized links place a visible disclosure before or near the first commercial recommendation. Links may go directly to a manufacturer or retailer. Price, stock, shipping, tax, warranty, and return terms remain the seller's responsibility.
What commissions cannot do
- They cannot make an ineligible setup pass budget, counter-fit, workflow, or compatibility gates.
- They cannot add points to the recommendation model.
- They cannot remove a tradeoff, source conflict, or unresolved field.
- They cannot turn a specification-derived statement into a hands-on test claim.
- They cannot buy a favorable article, ranking, score, or correction decision.
The clean result receipt is designed as an explanation and share artifact; purchase links belong outside that result. Read the methodology for the actual score inputs.
Link labeling
Paid or commission-eligible outbound links are identified in the surrounding copy and should carry the appropriate sponsored link relationship. Editorial source citations are not affiliate links unless the page explicitly says otherwise.
Our standard follows the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidance that material connections should be clear and conspicuous and Google's guidance for qualifying paid links.
Current program status
A merchant relationship is active only when the relevant page identifies it or the outbound link is marked as sponsored. A link to a product source is not evidence that Espresso Receipt has joined that merchant's program. This page will be updated as commercial relationships change.
