Affiliate Disclosure

How we make money

LowKiwi is supported by advertising (such as Google AdSense), by optional paid comparison packs and by affiliate programs: when you click some store links and make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the retailer or an affiliate network, at no additional cost to you.

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. We also participate in programs such as eBay Partner Network, Skimlinks, CJ, Impact and Rakuten, which may pay us commissions for purchases at many stores.

How commissions affect what you see

Results are sorted by default by "Best value": total price (price + known shipping) adjusted for free returns, ratings and seller reliability. Commissions are never part of this score. You can switch to "Lowest total price" at any time, and the lowest price is always marked.

Two exceptions, always labeled: (1) when two results are within 1% of each other (in either sort), a store that pays us a commission may be listed first; (2) one commission-paying store may be shown in a highlighted "Suggested" box above the list, with its price difference versus the lowest price clearly stated. Stores without affiliate programs are always included.

Stores that pay us a commission are marked in results with a yellow line, a "Suggested" tag and the words "affiliate link". Because link networks such as Skimlinks can convert other store links when you click them, a purchase through an unmarked link may also earn us a commission. Outbound store links are marked rel="sponsored".

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the US Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255).

In plain words

The 1% rule: say Store A sells the product for $100.00 and Store B, which pays us a commission, sells it for $100.80. That is less than 1% apart, so Store B may be listed first. If Store B charged $101.50 (more than 1% higher), Store A stays first. A commission-paying store never moves ahead of a store that is more than 1% cheaper, and the "Lowest price we found" badge always stays on the cheapest store.

Skimlinks: Skimlinks is a link network that works with thousands of stores. When it is active, a store link without a "Suggested" tag can still be turned into an affiliate link when you click it, and we may earn a commission if that store is in Skimlinks' network. This never changes the price you pay or the order of the results.
