How do affiliate links appear in product reviews?

Published Nov 13, 2025

Affiliate links on ToyChats are designed to be useful, transparent, and unobtrusive. They appear when a review talks about a specific toy, helping readers quickly find the product — and sometimes even get a special discount — all while keeping the platform clean and user-first.

Here’s how they work:

🛍 1. Product Cards Under the Review

When a reviewer writes about a toy, ToyChats automatically displays a product card below the review.

Each card may include:

  • Product name

  • Brand or retailer

  • Image

  • Price (if available)

  • A button linking to a trusted store

  • Exclusive discount code (when available)

🔥 Discount Codes

If a partner brand provides a discount code to ToyChats, the product card will display:

  • The code itself

  • The savings (e.g., “15% off”)

  • a “Copy Code” button

These codes are negotiated directly with partner brands to give ToyChats readers special perks that aren’t available elsewhere.

🔍 2. Automatic Matching (No Action Needed by Reviewers)

Creators don’t need to insert any links or codes manually.

ToyChats automatically detects the product name in the review and matches it to our affiliate product catalog.

This ensures:

  • Accurate product data

  • No broken links

  • Consistent design

  • Always-up-to-date offers & discount codes

🎯 3. Reader-Friendly Placement

Product cards (and any associated discount codes) appear after the content, keeping your reading experience smooth and non-intrusive.

  • No pop-ups.

  • No forced redirects.

  • No aggressive banners inside reviews.

Just simple, helpful product info.

🔒 4. Independent Reviews, Always

Affiliate integrations never influence:

  • Review approval

  • Scoring or ranking

  • Editor decisions

  • What reviewers say

All opinions remain honest and experience-based — always.
