Retailers: frequently asked questions
Which retailers are listed on Magic Prices?
The retailers here are those whose offers reach us through the affiliate platforms we work with. We do not assess them one at a time, and we apply no minimum customer rating before a retailer can be listed. If the offers come through and the product information is good enough to match to the right product, the retailer appears. Our methodology explains this in full.
So seeing a retailer here is not a recommendation from us, and we cannot vouch for how any of them will treat you. With a name you do not recognise, read its delivery and returns terms on its own site and see what its customers say elsewhere before you order.
Do retailers pay to be listed?
No. No retailer pays Magic Prices to appear on the site. There is no joining fee, no monthly charge and no listing fee. Every retailer is treated the same way: the same display, and the same ordering, which is by price, lowest first. That is the item price; delivery is charged separately by the retailer at the checkout.
We earn a commission when you use “View Offer” and go on to buy from the retailer. That commission is paid by the retailer, not by you, and it has no effect at all on the order in which offers are shown. Where the cheapest offer comes from a retailer that earns us nothing, that offer is the one shown first.
The full picture is on our methodology page and on How we make money.
How do I find information about a retailer?
From the home page, choose a category and then a sub-category to see the products it contains. Open a product to see the list of retailers and their offers. To read more about a particular offer and the retailer behind it, use the “Details” button on that offer; it opens an “Offer Details” panel with the retailer’s name and the date the price was last updated.
Can I suggest a retailer?
Please do. If there is a retailer you would like to see on Magic Prices, email support@magicprices.co.uk with its name and details, and we will check whether its offers are available to us through one of the platforms we work with.
I am a retailer: how do I get listed?
Write to commercial@magicprices.co.uk, telling us who you are and what you sell. Listing is free: there is nothing to pay, and nothing that can be bought.
