Affiliate Disclosure

The short version

We disclose this in line with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidance on endorsements and affiliate relationships, and you'll also see a short reminder right next to each shopping affordance in the app.

Where affiliate links appear

When you choose to shop for ingredients or kitchen items, Meshi may show:

• "Order on Instacart" — generates a shoppable Instacart cart from your list or a recipe's ingredients via the Instacart Developer Platform.
• "Find on Amazon" — opens an Amazon search for an ingredient or item, as an Amazon Associate.

These are optional conveniences — you never have to use them, and the rest of Meshi works exactly the same whether you do or not.

Our programs

• Amazon Associates Program. As an Amazon Associate, Meshi earns from qualifying purchases made through links we provide.
• Instacart. Meshi participates in Instacart's affiliate program; qualifying orders placed through links we generate may earn a commission.

Creator Codes work the other way round

Everything above is money flowing to Meshi: you buy something from Amazon or Instacart through a link we generated, and the merchant pays us a commission. Meshi's Creator Codes program is the opposite direction. A creator shares a code, the people who use it get a discount on their Meshi subscription, and Meshi pays that creator a share of what those subscribers pay us. No merchant is involved, and nothing about it changes what you are shown in the app. Creators are required to tell you their code earns them a commission — see the Creator Program Terms.

This does not bias your experience

Affiliate relationships do not influence which recipes, substitutions, or recommendations Meshi shows you. We don't accept payment to feature specific products or brands inside recipes, and prices on Amazon or Instacart are not affected by using our links.
