Who’s behind McClipFace
mcclipface.com, getclippy.co and McClipFace are operated by GetClippy LLC, a New York limited liability company.
McClipFace is built and run by one person, Matt. There’s no big team behind the curtain. It’s one person and a cobalt binder clip who think checking for a coupon before you pay should be a normal part of shopping with an AI assistant.
McClipFace may be a binder clip, but its bills are real. The API your assistant talks to, the coupon database it checks and the servers that keep it online all cost real money to run. McClipFace doesn’t charge you to use it. Instead, when you follow some McClipFace links and make a purchase at the store, the store may pay McClipFace a small commission, at no extra cost to you. That’s what keeps McClipFace free to use.
How affiliate links work
McClipFace gets coupon and promotional information from affiliate programs that have approved it. Today that information comes from affiliate programs McClipFace has joined, including through its publisher relationships with CJ Affiliate, Impact, Awin and Admitad, and from direct brand programs. McClipFace also uses Sovrn Commerce to monetize some product links. Some coupon codes and shopping links come from a licensed coupon data partner, and those links may earn McClipFace a commission. Everything on this page applies to direct brand programs too.
Some of the shopping links McClipFace returns contain tracking information. If you follow one and complete a qualifying purchase, the retailer or affiliate network may attribute that purchase to McClipFace and pay McClipFace a commission.
What a commission can and can’t change
Your assistant compares retailers on the things that matter to you: product fit, final delivered price after discounts, delivery timing, returns and seller reliability. Results come only from affiliate programs McClipFace has joined and from its licensed coupon data partner. Commission never affects which offers are returned or how they are ranked, except that when two options end at the same final price, including shipping, tax and any membership fees, the one that earns a commission may be listed first.
That’s the whole of it. Affiliate eligibility only breaks a tie at the exact same final price; it is never a reason to hide or downgrade a meaningfully better option, and a pricier store is never ranked first. When another retailer offers better value or lower risk, agents are instructed to recommend that retailer, even if McClipFace earns nothing there.
These are rules your assistant is told to follow, and how closely they’re followed depends on your assistant. They’re published in McClipFace’s instructions so anyone can check them.
Links you arrived through
If you reached a store through a creator’s affiliate link, or anyone else’s, McClipFace’s instructions tell your assistant to keep that link. It should never replace, override or swap it for a McClipFace link. In that case McClipFace only checks for coupon codes. Whoever sent you there should get the credit.
What McClipFace can’t promise
- Not every link is tracked or earns a commission.
- A coupon code on its own may not earn McClipFace anything.
- Commissions depend on eligibility, attribution, exclusions, returns and the retailer’s or network’s final validation.
- A retailer logo shows where you can shop. It doesn’t necessarily mean that retailer endorses McClipFace.
- Coupons and savings estimates aren’t promises. The store’s checkout has the final say.
Your choice
You never have to use a tracked link. You can go to the retailer on your own or type a coupon code in yourself. Either way, McClipFace doesn’t add a fee to your price, though the retailer’s prices, shipping and taxes can change on their own.
Going to the store directly also avoids the third-party tracking a tracked link can involve. The Privacy Policy has the details.
You stay in charge of what you buy: a coupon check never approves a purchase, and your assistant’s settings still apply.
