Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: January 2026
Summary: FermentCrush earns commissions when you buy through our Amazon links. This never affects which products we recommend or how we describe them. Our editorial positions exist independently of our affiliate relationships.
Amazon Associates Program
FermentCrush 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. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases made through links on this site.
How Affiliate Commissions Work
When you click a product link on FermentCrush and make a purchase on Amazon within the commission window, we receive a small percentage of the sale price as a commission. This commission is paid by Amazon and does not increase the price you pay. The commission rate varies by product category and is determined entirely by Amazon's program terms.
Our Editorial Independence
Affiliate commission potential does not determine which products we recommend, which products receive positive coverage, or how we rank products within our guides. Our editorial process establishes product selections and assessments based on research, specifications, and community feedback — independent of whether a commission is available. We would make the same recommendations if no affiliate program existed.
What We Do Not Accept
We do not accept: free products in exchange for coverage, paid placements, sponsored articles or reviews, or any compensation from manufacturers or retailers in exchange for favorable editorial treatment. If this policy changes, we will disclose it prominently.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 C.F.R. § 255). We believe in transparent disclosure and provide this information so you can make fully informed decisions about how to weigh our recommendations.
