Affiliate & Advertising Transparency Disclosure
Last updated: October 28, 2026 • An open accounting of how PonnoRadar is funded and our commitment to objective shopping intelligence.
100% Free for Shoppers
Zero paywalls, premium subscriptions, or fee-gated price graphs. PonnoRadar is completely free for all consumers.
Zero Added Cost to You
Clicking our links never increases the price you pay. In fact, verified coupon codes often save you substantial money.
Algorithmic Independence
Cheapest total payable price ALWAYS ranks #1. Affiliate partnerships never manipulate rankings or Discount Scores.
1 How PonnoRadar Is Funded
Running continuous price crawlers across 200+ online stores in Bangladesh requires significant computing resources. We maintain multi-region proxy networks, continuous polling workers, high-speed PostgreSQL databases, and real-time alert dispatch systems (Email, Web Push, and Telegram).
To cover these operational costs without charging shoppers, PonnoRadar participates in various affiliate referral programs with online retailers (including but not limited to Star Tech, Ryans Computers, TechLand BD, Pickaboo, Apple Gadgets, and Daraz).
When you click an outbound link on PonnoRadar that directs you to a partner merchant and you complete a qualifying purchase, the merchant may pay us a small referral commission (typically ranging from 0.5% to 3% of the purchase value).
2 What This Means For You as a Buyer
You never pay a single Poisha extra. The price you see and pay on the merchant's store is identical whether you visit through a PonnoRadar link or type their URL directly into your browser address bar.
In fact, using PonnoRadar frequently results in paying less, because our platform exposes hidden courier costs, alerts you when prices reach all-time historical lows, and provides verified coupon codes that apply real discounts at checkout.
3 The Golden Rule: Complete Algorithmic Independence
Our mission to restore truth to online retail in Bangladesh would be meaningless if affiliate fees influenced what we show you. Therefore, we maintain a strict technological wall between commercial partnerships and our recommendation engine:
- Lowest Total Cost Always Wins: On every product page, store offers are sorted strictly by lowest Total Payable Cost (Base Price + Shipping + COD - Gateway Rebate). We never artificially elevate a store because they pay a higher commission.
- Unaffiliated Stores Receive Equal Exposure: When a store with zero affiliate relationship offers the best verified price, it is displayed prominently as the #1 deal.
- Immutable Price History: We never alter, delete, or obscure historical price spikes, price drops, or record lows upon merchant request.
- Mathematical Discount Score: Our 1.0 to 10.0 Discount Score is derived purely by comparing the current price against 30-day, 90-day, and all-time records. No commercial agreement can modify this score.
4 Sponsored Deals & Banner Advertising
If a retailer or brand pays for featured placement, pinned voucher codes, or promotional visibility, that placement will always be explicitly labelled with a visible [Sponsored] or [Promoted] badge.
Sponsored placements will never override our algorithmic price charts or buy/wait guidance.
5 Your Freedom of Choice
We deeply appreciate when shoppers use our links, as it keeps PonnoRadar alive and free for millions of Bangladeshis. However, you are always free to search for the product directly on the retailer's store without clicking our outbound links. All our research, charts, and alerts will always remain available to you.
