Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: April 27, 2026
How Affiliate Links Work
When you click a "Shop at [Brand]" button on Muse, you are redirected through an affiliate tracking link before arriving at the retailer's website. This link contains a unique identifier that allows the affiliate network to attribute any resulting purchase to Muse. If you make a qualifying purchase within the cookie window (see below), we receive a commission.
This commission comes from the retailer's marketing budget — it does not increase the price you pay. You pay exactly the same amount as if you had navigated directly to the retailer's website.
Brands We Partner With
We currently work with affiliate programs through the following networks and direct partnerships:
- ShareASale — multi-brand affiliate network
- Impact — multi-brand affiliate network
- Everlane — sustainable basics and wardrobe essentials
- Aritzia — contemporary women's fashion
- Reformation — sustainable fashion
- Madewell — denim and everyday staples
- Revolve — contemporary and designer fashion
- Princess Polly — trend-led womenswear
This list may not be exhaustive. We add and remove brand partners periodically as our catalog evolves.
Cookie Windows & Commission Rates
Affiliate cookies allow networks to track purchases back to our referral. Cookie windows and commission rates vary by brand and network, but typical ranges are:
- Cookie window: 7–30 days from your initial click
- Commission rate: 3–15% of the qualifying order value (brand-dependent)
Commissions are paid to Muse only after purchases are confirmed (i.e., not returned or canceled) and after the network's validation period.
How Recommendations Are Made
Product recommendations on Muse are matched to your aesthetic profile, not chosen for paid placement. The process is:
- You upload images representing your aesthetic.
- We study what those images have in common — silhouettes, palette, texture, mood.
- We search our curated catalog for pieces that share those visual signals.
- The closest matches become your personalized shop.
We do not boost, demote, or otherwise alter recommendations based on commission rates or brand relationships. Brands cannot pay to appear in your results.
