Money
How Bazar makes money.
Most online retailers won't tell you exactly how they make money. We will.
Bazar is an independent retailer that helps you shop Amazon's catalog with better tools: price tracking, drop alerts, and a cleaner shopping experience. There's no membership, no monthly fee, and no hidden markup on what you pay.
So how do we keep the lights on? Two ways. Here they both are.
When you buy on Bazar
When you click "Add to Cart" and check out on our site, you pay us, and we use Amazon's logistics network to ship your order. The price you see is the price you pay.
Behind the scenes, we charge that order to our Amazon Business credit card. Amazon gives us 5% cashback on the transaction. After payment processing fees (typically about 3%), we net about 2% on your order.
On a $25 order, that's about $0.50 to us. On a $200 order, about $4. It's a small margin per order, and it works because we don't pay for warehouses, packing, or shipping infrastructure. Amazon does all of that.
When you click "View on Amazon"
Every product page on Bazar has two buttons: "Add to Cart" (buy here) and "View on Amazon" (shop directly on Amazon). Both work. Pick whichever you prefer.
When you click "View on Amazon," we send you to Amazon with our affiliate code attached. If you buy something within 24 hours, Amazon pays us a commission, usually 1–10% depending on the category. You pay exactly the same price either way.
We show both options because we trust you to choose. If you'd rather check out on Amazon, that's fine. We still get a small cut and you get the experience you want.
What we'll never do
- We will never override another site’s affiliate code
- We will never sell or share your shopping data with third parties
- We will never add hidden fees at checkout
- We will never claim to be Amazon, owned by Amazon, or an “official partner”
- We will never inflate prices to fake a discount
If we ever break any of these, send us a screenshot and we'll fix it: support@bazar.earth.

Why we're telling you this
A shopping site's incentives shape what they show you. Most sites don't disclose theirs because the answer is uncomfortable. We're disclosing ours because we think it's the only way to earn long-term trust, and because if you understand how Bazar works, you'll trust the recommendations more.
If you have any questions, we'd rather hear from you than have you guess. Contact us at support@bazar.earth.
