How outbound deal links work on Sage.
Sage's Deals pages link out to merchants so you can shop or use promo codes. Some taps are plain editorial links (we earn nothing); others route through affiliate partners such as Skimlinks, Amazon Associates, or other networks when we record that partnership on the deal.We never add a surcharge — any commission is paid from the retailer's marketing budget, not by raising your price.
Two kinds of outbound links
- Non-affiliate: when a published deal has no affiliate network assigned (often
manualcuration), tapping a retailer link is like visiting the retailer yourself. We don't earn on that click. - Partnership: when we store an affiliate network (e.g. Skimlinks or
amazon), we may earn a commission on qualifying purchases. Those buttons userel="sponsored"alongside normal security attributes, and the deal tells you commissions may apply next to the button.
What we do not do
- We choose deals for families first; when a retailer link is attributable to a commission partnership, we say so plainly on the button.
- Marketplace listings are never affiliate links. Parent-to-parent sales are between you and the other buyer/seller; Sage takes no commission on resale.
FTC disclosure
The FTC expects publishers to disclose material connections clearly. Sage labels monetized deal links and keeps this page current. Background: FTC endorsement FAQs.
Amazon Associates Program
Sage is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com (and affiliated sites). When a deal is labeled with our Amazon Associates partnership, taps on that outbound link may be attributed to Sage; Sage earns from qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you.
Amazon sets product pricing, promotions, availability, and shipping terms on its site. We don't control or sync live Amazon prices inside Sage listings — always confirm price and checkout details on Amazon before you buy.
Participation is subject to Amazon's Associates Program Operating Agreement. Sage keeps this disclosure page available for reviewers and readers.
Skimlinks and other networks
When Skimlinks (or Taboola / Skimlinks family tools) or similar networks monetize outbound links, merchants may rely on redirects and cookies for attribution — see our Privacy Policy under cookies & tracking. Follow each network's publisher terms alongside this page.
