Affiliate Disclosure

Plain statement of how END ARCHIVE LLC is compensated for SoleScout, and what does not change either way.

Last updated July 26, 2026

Current status

Some store links on SoleScout are affiliate links. Since October 2026 SoleScout is a member of the Later (formerly Mavely) and Sovrn Commerce affiliate networks. When a store participates, its link on a product page or in a blog article goes through the network's tracking redirect to the retailer's own product page, and we may earn a commission if you buy — at no extra cost to you. Links to stores that do not participate go straight to the retailer with no tracking.

Commission never changes the order or the visibility. Stores are always ordered by price, and whether a store pays a commission has no effect on which stores are shown by name and which are hidden.

One exception: Solex (getsolex.com) is our own store. Where it carries a product, it appears in "Where to buy" labelled "Our store", after the other named retailers, and we earn the margin on anything bought there. Its links carry UTM tags so we can count visits from SoleScout. It is shown free to everyone and does not change which other retailers are shown or hidden.

Revenue today comes from subscriptions. The free tier shows prices and sizes; paid plans unlock retailer names, history and higher API limits.

If that changes

SoleScout may join retailer affiliate programmes in the future. If and when it does, this page will say so before it takes effect, and the following will remain true:

  • Ranking stays price-based. Results are ordered by what you would actually pay. A commission-paying store is never placed above a cheaper one that pays nothing.
  • Coverage stays independent of commercial relationships. All thousands of tracked retailers are indexed the same way. A store is not added because it has a programme, and not dropped because it does not.
  • You never pay more. Affiliate commission is paid by the retailer out of its own margin. It does not change the price you are shown or charged.
  • Affiliate links will be identifiable. Where an outbound link carries tracking, that will be disclosed on the page carrying it, not only here.

Paid placement

There is none, and there will not be. No retailer or brand can pay to appear, to rank higher, or to have a competitor hidden. Which stores are named for a given user is a function of that user's plan — never of a commercial arrangement with the store.

Brand relationships

Brand and retailer names, logos and product titles are used for identification only. SoleScout is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any brand or retailer it indexes, and does not act as an agent for any of them. It does not sell products, hold inventory, or process orders — purchases, payments, shipping and returns are handled entirely by the retailer you click through to.

Questions

If you operate an affiliate programme, or you want to know exactly how a particular link is handled, email support@solescout.ai. The corresponding clause in the terms of service carries the same commitments.
