Affiliate Disclaimer
Last updated: March 2026
The short version
StackPick earns small commissions when you click our links and subscribe to software products. This does not affect what we recommend. We will tell you when a product is the wrong choice even if recommending it would earn us more money.
What is an affiliate commission?
When we link to a software product and you click that link, we are redirected through an affiliate tracking system. If you then subscribe to that product, the vendor pays us a commission - typically a percentage of your first payment or a flat fee.
This commission is paid by the software vendor. You pay exactly the same price whether you click our link or go directly to the vendor's website. Affiliate commissions do not add any cost to you.
Which products have affiliate arrangements?
We have or are pursuing affiliate arrangements with the following software vendors:
- Xero
- MYOB
- QuickBooks (Intuit Australia)
- Reckon
- ServiceM8
- Deputy
- Employment Hero
- Other software tools we review (this list is updated as arrangements change)
Not every product we review has an affiliate arrangement. We review products regardless of whether an affiliate program exists.
How commissions affect our recommendations - and how they do not
What we do
We recommend the product that is most appropriate for the use case we are writing about - regardless of commission rate. Our editorial process begins with research. Commission rates are not part of that process.
What we do not do
We do not accept payment to write positive reviews. We do not alter our editorial conclusions based on commercial relationships. We do not have preferred vendor agreements that require us to present any product more favourably than the evidence warrants.
Why we use affiliate links at all
Running an independent review site with accurate, up-to-date content requires time and resources. Affiliate commissions allow us to sustain this work without charging readers or accepting advertising from software vendors. We believe this model - with full transparency about how it works - is the most honest way to operate a product review site.
Identifying affiliate links
Affiliate links on StackPick may appear as redirects through our domain (e.g. stackpick.com.au/go/xero) before sending you to the vendor's website. This is standard practice and does not affect the destination or the price you pay.
Australian Consumer Law
This disclosure is made in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law and guidelines issued by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) regarding endorsements and testimonials. We are committed to transparent disclosure of our commercial relationships.
Corrections and updates
If you believe any information on StackPick is inaccurate, or if you have concerns about our editorial independence, please contact us. We take these concerns seriously and will respond within 48 hours.
