Commercial transparency

Affiliate and commercial disclosure

Current status: we may use affiliate links where a supplier offers a suitable affiliate programme. Each link is clearly labelled where it appears. Sponsored listings may also be accepted, but none is currently published.

How affiliate links are handled

Where a supplier offers an affiliate programme and we use it, the link is labelled at the point of use and the relevant product listing records the relationship. We may earn a commission if a qualifying purchase is made through one of those links.

An affiliate relationship or commission does not affect whether a product is included, its position in the directory, shortlist or comparison results, its ranking, or its editorial review. It cannot buy a positive assessment, remove legitimate caveats or change the evidence we use.

Any sponsored listing will be labelled clearly on its own product page. Sponsorship does not alter the research standard, source requirements, ranking or editorial review.

Inclusion is not endorsement

A listing means the product is relevant enough to research. It does not mean the directory recommends it for every church.

No unsupported rankings

The site does not publish an overall score or “best” badge. A meaningful ranking would need visible criteria, supporting evidence and a method that respects different church contexts.

How to raise a concern

If a factual statement, label or commercial disclosure appears wrong, please use the supplier update route and include public evidence. We assess corrections against the evidence provided; commercial status does not determine the outcome.
