Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: April 2026

How We Make Money

JapanStationery is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated international Amazon stores. When you click on our product links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

These commissions help us keep the site running, pay for the products we review, and continue creating free content for our readers.

Our Affiliate Partners

Our sole affiliate partner is:

  • Amazon Associates Program — We earn commissions on qualifying purchases made through our Amazon product links. Our links use Amazon OneLink to automatically redirect to your local Amazon store (Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.ca, Amazon.com.au, Amazon.de, Amazon.co.jp, and more).

We also sell our own digital products (guides, checklists, and templates) through Gumroad. Gumroad is not an affiliate program — it is a platform where we sell products we create ourselves.

Our Promise to You

We want to be completely transparent about how affiliate links work on our site:

  1. Honest recommendations — Affiliate relationships never influence our product recommendations. We only recommend products we genuinely believe in.
  2. No extra cost — You pay the same price whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the retailer.
  3. Clear disclosure — Every article containing affiliate links includes a disclosure notice at the top.
  4. Balanced reviews — We share both pros and cons of every product we review.
  5. Your trust matters — We would rather lose a commission than recommend a product we don't believe in.

Identifying Affiliate Links

Affiliate links on our site are marked with rel="nofollow sponsored" attributes in compliance with search engine guidelines. Articles containing affiliate links include a disclosure notice at the top of the page.

Digital Products

In addition to affiliate income, we sell our own digital products (printable templates, guides, and checklists) through platforms like Gumroad. Revenue from these sales goes directly to supporting the site.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, please don't hesitate to contact us.
