Implemented Amazon Smile Charity to Help 2A?

[Toast]

When I use Amazon, I always type in Amazon Smile which was supposed to donate 1% or so to a charity of my choice. (Although it usually takes me to girl jeans or something.) I chose Calguns Foundation, or whatever we were supposed to put in the box. I forget because I did it so long ago.

Question: Is CAGUNS a charity that we can change our Amazon Smile donation to? If so, details please?

Technically there's a way for us to set this up.. I think its a very good suggestion. I'll look into this for 2025.

Thank you..

I’m not thinking smile, but instead an affiliate portal for people who buy things via Amazon. Right now all profits go directly to Bezos, if we put up a portal people can help fund this site but just shopping via our affiliate at no cost to the user. And taking a little bit of profit away from amzn and putting it back in this community.

I’ll look to see how we can do it in a simple way.

You're welcome.

You're welcome.

Thank you! Lol

Btw I do have an affiliate code/referral I haven’t attached it here because it was too soon. Now that people want to help the site it makes more sense. The only thing is I want to add it in a clean way where it’s not in your face or sketchy.

Thanks to your suggestion, I've implemented this:

Announcement  Thread 'TactiQool.com - Support CAguns via our upcoming store & affiliate site'

Mar 16, 2025

We've soft launched TactiQool.com as our merchandise store where you can buy our shirts when they become available. This is separate from our main site, which doesn't sell physical products. You might see the ad rotating in from time to time, so we wanted to let you know its us!

TactiQool.com will also:

• Host our class registration system
• Track your class information
• List our shirts for sale and order management
• Use your existing CAguns.net login (no need for a new account)

We've added Amazon affiliate links to recommended products. If you click our banner...

My understanding is that Amazon stopped that program some time ago.

Smile stopped from a charity donation perspective where you designate. This was removed.

What I've created is a sibling affiliate site for this one. If you use our links then we'll get a commission. This differs than smile because that was set on the buyer side where the charity would get 1.5% on all purchases they made. In our case, this only lasts for 24 hours when you click through our links. We are abiding by their policy. The commission is 3%+ but only IF you click through.

Now we link to our sister site so we can pull info out of here. You'll see banners that link to the deals section and products we recommend based on forum discussion and my own experience. This will also host whatever we sell to keep a distinction between physical and virtual goods. They are linked using the CAguns.net login so it's a little bumpy but everything works once you link your account.
