Editorial Policy & Integrity
MerchSites is committed to providing ecommerce sellers, store operators, and product creators with free, accurate, and practical financial reference tools.
1. Accuracy and Mathematical Verification
Every formula used across MerchSites calculators is grounded in standard managerial accounting, corporate finance principles, and verified marketplace fee schedules. We write automated unit test suites for all financial engines to verify arithmetic precision and prevent regression errors.
2. Commercial Independence
MerchSites software tools are free to use. We do not accept payment to artificially alter calculator outputs, favor specific platform fee structures, or misrepresent merchant profitability. When we link to third-party tools or platforms, our editorial opinions remain independent.
3. No Artificial Claims or Fake Statistics
We do not publish fake user reviews, fabricated usage counters, or synthetic testimonials. All worked numeric examples represent realistic, practical business scenarios created by our editorial team to illustrate financial math.
4. Data Privacy and Security
Your business finances remain strictly private. All calculator calculations run locally within your browser client. MerchSites does not store, transmit, or monetize your confidential product prices, supplier costs, or sales volumes.
5. Regular Updates and Corrections
E-commerce fee structures and shipping rates change over time. Our editorial team periodically reviews platform benchmarks and calculator content. If you identify a discrepancy or mathematical error, please notify our team via our contact page.
