Our honest take
Cratejoy monetizes the 'start a subscription box' hustle from the buyer side. If we ever write the merchant-side playbook (Cratejoy's own platform fees), that's a partnerships-email lane, not an affiliate link.

Cratejoy — questions
Is Cratejoy legit?
Cratejoy is a real product from Cratejoy with its own checkout — check their current refund terms before buying. Legit ≠ worth it for you, though: weigh the cons above against where you actually are. Our score: 2/5.
Why does Make Money HQ link with affiliate links?
Because it keeps the directory free and independent. The commission comes out of the vendor's side, not your price. We'd rather be transparent and keep your trust — it's the only asset a directory has.
