How Hopstr makes money

Last updated 22 July 2026

Every link from Hopstr to a retailer is an affiliate link. If you buy something after following one, the retailer pays us a small commission.

You never pay more because of it.The price is the retailer's normal price; the commission comes out of their margin, not your total.

What this does not change

It does not decide what you see. The feed is ranked on what you swipe — not on which retailer pays the most, and not on commission rate. We would rather show you something you love from a low-paying retailer than something you ignore from a high-paying one, because an app you stop opening earns nothing at all.

Retailers do not pay for placement, and nobody can buy a position in your feed.

How it works technically

Tapping a retailer link sends you through a redirect that records the click and then forwards you to the retailer, with a tag identifying the visit as coming from Hopstr. We record which link was followed and when. We do not learn what you went on to buy, beyond whether a purchase was attributed to us.

Who we work with

Retailer partnerships run through the Awin affiliate network. Outbound links are marked rel="sponsored", and the retailer is always named on the button before you leave.
