Affiliate Disclosure
Some links on The Peptide Wiki are affiliate links. If you make a purchase through one of those links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This is how we fund the editorial work that keeps the directory free.
What "affiliate link" means
Vendor pages that link out to a vendor's official store may use tracked URLs (formats like ?ref=peptidewiki or shortened links). When you click and complete a purchase, the vendor pays us a commission (typically 5 to 20% of the order) out of their margin. You pay the same price either way. If a vendor offers a discount code we have access to, we pass it through.
Editorial independence
A vendor's affiliate commission has zero impact on:
- Its star score or trust tier
- Its position in the vendors directory
- Its appearance in comparison pages or "alternatives" suggestions
- Whether expert quotes about it are featured or filtered
Vendors with no affiliate program get the same editorial treatment as vendors that pay us. We score vendors purely on expert-recommendation data + manual tier classification. See the vendor-scoring methodology for the formula.
What we don't accept
- Paid placement in featured spots
- "Sponsored review" content masquerading as editorial
- Tier-upgrade purchases (you cannot pay us to upgrade your trust tier)
- Commission from vendors we judge unsafe or unethical (we'd rather skip the revenue)
FTC compliance
This disclosure satisfies FTC 16 CFR §255 endorsement guidelines. Every page with affiliate links also carries a footer disclosure: "FTC disclosure: We may earn a commission from some links or discount codes. Editorial ratings are based on research criteria and are not affected by affiliate relationships."
