Disclosures and referral links
How BasketBridge earns money
BasketBridge is free. Some cart links may be referral links: if a person opens one and buys, the store may pay us a commission through an affiliate network. Your price is the same either way.
- A commission can come only from a person opening a link. When an AI assistant, crawler or bot opens a link, it gets the plain store link with no referral tag.
- Links served through AI assistant app directories (such as Claude and ChatGPT) are not tagged.
- Amazon links are never tagged.
- If a link already carries someone else's referral tag, we leave it unchanged.
- If adding a tag would break your cart, you get the plain link.
- Stores can opt out of referral tagging at optout@basketbridge.io.
- Commission never affects which products are shown or their order. See Ranking.
The wording you see
Every cart link carries one of these notices next to it, in the tool output. Here they are as shown for a store called example-store.com:
| English | German (Germany, Austria, .de and .at stores) | |
|---|---|---|
| Referral link | Referral link: if you buy, example-store.com may pay BasketBridge a commission. Your price is the same. Results are never ranked by commission. | Anzeige / Referral-Link: Wenn Sie kaufen, zahlt example-store.com BasketBridge möglicherweise eine Provision. Ihr Preis bleibt gleich. Ergebnisse werden niemals nach Provision gewichtet. |
| Plain link | Direct link to example-store.com: BasketBridge earns no commission on this link. You pay the normal price on the merchant's own checkout. Results are never ranked by commission. | Direkter Link zu example-store.com: BasketBridge erhält für diesen Link keine Provision. Sie zahlen den regulären Preis an der Kasse des Händlers. Ergebnisse werden niemals nach Provision gewichtet. |
Machine-generated results
Product summaries and cart descriptions are produced by software and by your AI assistant, not checked by a person. Always check the cart on the store's own site before paying.
