Affiliate Disclosure & Pricing

No, we don't sell products. Oryvyn.com is a recommendation platform. When you click on our product links, you'll be directed to Amazon or other retailers where you can make your purchase.

What are affiliate links?

Affiliate links are special tracking links that allow us to earn a small commission when you make a purchase through them. This commission comes from the retailer (like Amazon), not from you—you pay the same price whether you use our link or not.

Does using your links cost me extra?

No! Using our affiliate links never costs you anything extra. The price you pay is exactly the same as if you went directly to Amazon. We simply earn a small commission from Amazon for referring you.

Affiliate commissions help us:

Keep Oryvyn.com free for all users
Cover website hosting and maintenance costs
Invest in research and content creation
Continue providing valuable product recommendations

Possibly! We focus on finding quality products, and while we try to highlight good deals, prices can vary across retailers. We encourage you to compare prices if that's important to you.
