Affiliate and sponsor disclosure

Referral fees

Some booking vendors pay a fee when a new customer signs up through a partner link. When a link on this site is one of those, the text next to the button says “Affiliate link.” You should not pay a higher subscription because you used it. The price on the sheet is the vendor’s published price.

Right now the referral URLs are empty on purpose. They live in one file, data/links.json. Until a real URL is filled in, the button goes to the vendor’s ordinary website and the note says “Direct link.” A direct link is not an affiliate link. The pricing-page links are citations. They are not referral links either.

Sponsors

A sponsor would pay to be mentioned. None are running. If one runs, the mention will say Sponsored in the same block. A sponsor does not get a blank cell filled in and does not get a made-up price.

I use Mangomint

I use Mangomint at my 7 stores. I am a paying customer. That sentence stays on theMangomint pages whether or not they ever pay a referral fee. It is marked “I use this.” It does not float that row to the top of the table.

Programs listed in the sheet

Several vendors publish a partner or customer-referral program. A URL in that column is their page. It is not proof that SpaStack has been accepted or paid. Some programs pay only existing customers, and only in account credit. Those are a poor fit for a publisher. The notes say when the payout is credit rather than cash.

Order and awards

The home page sorts by whatever you choose. The default is published starting price, low to high. Unpublished prices sit at the bottom. There is no star rating and no made-up survey, because those would be fiction.

Prices were last checked on the date in the bar at the top of every page. That date comes from the sheet. If a sentence on a guide and the price note disagree, trust the note and the vendor’s pricing page.
