Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: May 2026

The Short Version

Yes, DealsFriday makes money through affiliate links. When you click a coupon or deal on our site and then make a purchase at the merchant's website, the merchant pays us a small commission. The price you pay is exactly the same as if you went directly to the merchant — there's no markup, no fee, nothing extra on your end.

Why We Tell You This

Three reasons:

1. It's the law. India's CCPA guidelines and the US FTC require disclosure of material connections between a publisher and a merchant. We follow both.
2. It's the right thing to do. If our income depends on your click, you should know that — so you can weigh our recommendations accordingly.
3. It builds trust. Coupon sites that hide their affiliate model usually have other things to hide too. We'd rather be upfront.

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click a coupon button on DealsFriday:

1. Your browser briefly passes through an affiliate network (Impact, CJ Affiliate, ShareASale, etc.).
2. The network drops a cookie on your browser identifying us as the referrer.
3. You land on the merchant's site as normal — same site, same prices, same checkout.
4. If you complete a purchase within the cookie's lifetime (usually 1–30 days), the merchant pays us a commission — typically 1–10% of your order value.

That's it. No extra clicks. No extra cost. No data sold.

Does This Affect Our Recommendations?

We try not to let it. Our editorial process is:

• We list verified, working coupons from any merchant we cover — whether they pay us or not.
• We don't accept payment to give a brand a falsely positive review.
• We don't hide negative info about a merchant just because they're an affiliate partner.
• When we compare two merchants and one is a partner and the other isn't, we say so.

Could we, in theory, push readers towards higher-commission merchants? Yes. We try not to. The best way to keep us honest is to tell us when we slip — email hello@dealsfriday.com.

Which Merchants on DealsFriday Are Affiliate Partners?

Most of them. Affiliate relationships change over time, but as of this writing we have or have had affiliate relationships with: Amazon, Flipkart, Hostinger, GoDaddy, Bluehost, Fiverr, Udemy, Skillshare, Testbook, Etsy, Google Workspace, ManyChat, and WordPress.com. If a merchant isn't an affiliate partner and we're listing them anyway, that's because they have great deals our readers want.

What If You Don't Want to Use Our Affiliate Links?

You're free to type the merchant's URL directly into your browser instead of clicking our link. The coupon code itself will still work (assuming it's still active). You won't be giving us a commission, but the discount still applies to your order. We'd rather you save money any way you can.
