Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you might want to know about how QA Affiliate works.

Is QA Affiliate an online store?

No. QA Affiliate is a product discovery platform. We research and curate products, and when you click "View Deal" you are taken to the merchant's own website (currently Temu) to complete your purchase there. We never handle payments, inventory or fulfillment.

Do I pay more when I use your links?

Never. Affiliate links track that we referred you so the merchant can pay us a commission — the price you see is the same price you would pay going to the merchant directly. See our Affiliate Disclosure for the full explanation.

How do you choose which products to feature?

Every collection is built from real merchant data — bestseller signals, ratings and review momentum — plus editorial review by our team. We do not accept payment for placement, and we never invent ratings, prices or popularity claims. Our trending workflow explains the process step by step.

Are the prices on this site accurate?

Merchant prices change frequently, which is why our product cards say "Price varies — see the live merchant deal" instead of showing a number we can't guarantee. The final price, including any coupons or discounts, is always what the merchant shows at checkout.

What do the badges mean?

Best Seller marks products that rank at the top of their merchant category. Top Rated marks the highest-rated items we track. Trending marks products rising faster than their category baseline, and Viral is reserved for exceptional cross-signal spikes. Badges reflect merchant data and our editorial review — never paid placement.

Why do some products show a placeholder image?

We only use verified merchant images — we never substitute AI-generated or stock photos and present them as the product. Where we haven't yet verified an image, we show a clearly labeled placeholder instead of faking it.

How do the deals and promotions work?

Our Deals page lists only promotions we can verify through the Temu affiliate dashboard. Offer names and eligibility come from Temu's own wording; full terms, coupon values and expiry are shown inside the Temu app. Offers can change or end without notice.

Who handles shipping and returns?

The merchant does. Since purchases happen on Temu's website or app, shipping times, tracking, returns and refunds are governed by Temu's policies — we link to the merchant but can't intervene in orders.

How often is the site updated?

Trending collections are reviewed on a rolling cycle, and products that go out of stock, lose momentum or lose affiliate eligibility are demoted or removed. Guides and category pages are refreshed as our catalog grows.

How can I contact you or suggest a product?

Use our contact page — choose "Product suggestion" or "Brand partnership" as the topic. We read every message and typically reply within two business days.
