Affiliate Disclosure
How SmartShop UK Stays Free
SmartShop UK is completely free for consumers. We earn a small commission when you click through our links to retailers, which helps us keep the service running.
How We Make Money
SmartShop UK participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means when you click on product links to retailers, we may earn a small commission. This does not cost you anything extra - you pay the exact same price whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.
Our Affiliate Partnerships
We work with affiliate networks and price comparison services that connect us with thousands of UK retailers. Our primary partnerships include:
Kelkoo Group
SmartShop UK is a publisher in the Kelkoo Group affiliate network. Kelkoo provides access to product data and offers from thousands of retailers across the UK and Europe, including major brands such as:
- Amazon UK
- Currys
- Argos
- ASOS
- Carphone Warehouse
- And thousands of other UK retailers
Kelkoo Group works with over 31,000 merchants globally, managing 220+ million product offers. Through Kelkoo's network, we're able to show you prices from a wide variety of retailers.
How Affiliate Links Work
Step 1: You Search
You search for a product on SmartShop UK
Step 2: We Compare
We show you prices from multiple retailers via our affiliate networks
Step 3: You Click
When you click a retailer link, it includes tracking information
Step 4: Commission Earned
When you click through, we earn a cost-per-click (CPC) commission from our affiliate partner
Important: You Pay the Same Price
The commission comes from the retailer's advertising budget, not from you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer's website.
Our Commitment to You
Honest Comparisons
We display all available offers from our affiliate partners sorted by price, regardless of commission rates. Our goal is to help you find the best deal, not to push you toward higher-commission retailers.
No Hidden Fees
Using SmartShop UK is 100% free. We never charge users for searching, comparing, or clicking through to retailers.
Price Accuracy
We display prices provided by our affiliate networks and update them regularly. However, prices can change frequently. Always verify the final price on the retailer's website before making a purchase.
Transparency
We believe in being completely transparent about how we earn revenue. This page explains exactly how our business works and how affiliate commissions support our free service.
What We Don't Do
- We don't sell products directly
- We don't handle payments or shipping
- We don't store your payment information
- We don't manipulate price rankings to earn more commission
- We don't hide better deals from lower-commission retailers
Retailer Coverage
SmartShop UK displays offers from retailers available through our affiliate network partners. While we work with networks that include thousands of UK retailers, we cannot guarantee we show prices from every single retailer in the UK. The retailers shown depend on:
- Which retailers participate in our affiliate networks
- Which retailers stock the specific product you're searching for
- Which retailers have current pricing data available
Third-Party Retailers
When you click through to a retailer and make a purchase:
- The transaction is between you and the retailer, not SmartShop UK
- The retailer's terms and conditions apply
- The retailer handles customer service, returns, and refunds
- The retailer's privacy policy applies to your purchase
Cookie Tracking
Affiliate links use cookies to track referrals. This is how our affiliate partners know you came from SmartShop UK. These cookies typically last 24-30 days, meaning if you make a purchase within that timeframe, we may earn a commission.
Price Accuracy Disclaimer
Important Notice About Prices
Prices displayed on SmartShop UK are provided by our affiliate network partners and are updated regularly. However, due to the nature of online retail, prices can change without notice. We cannot guarantee 100% accuracy at all times.
Always verify the following on the retailer's website before purchasing:
- Final price at checkout
- Delivery costs
- Product availability and stock status
- Return policy
- Warranty terms
