How we make money
Mervo is free for you. We earn money from stores in the ways below. None of them changes the price you pay or the order of the offers.
Commission
When you click through to a store and buy something, the store may pay us a commission through an affiliate network. You pay the same price as if you had gone to the store yourself.
Price per click
Some stores pay us a fixed amount for each visitor we send them. Clicks from bots and repeated clicks are not charged.
Sponsored placements
A store can pay for an extra row in a list of offers. That row always says "Mainos · Ad".
It is never placed above an offer in stock that is more than 2 % cheaper, and there is at most one for every 5 results. It costs the store 0,22 € per click.
A service for Google Shopping
We are preparing a paid service that lists stores' products in Google Shopping (a comparison shopping service). It concerns Google and changes nothing on Mervo.
What payment never buys
- Being listed is free. A store that pays nothing is listed and linked exactly like one that pays.
- Payment never changes the order of the offers. Only the labelled extra row is paid for.
- Payment never changes the price we show or the price you pay.
- Payment never affects our discount checks, ratings, tests or Store of the Year.
