How Was Honey Supposed to Work for Consumers and Content Creators?
When a consumer makes a purchase using a content creator’s affiliate link, the creator should receive a small commission through an affiliate marketing program. In this system, influencers, bloggers, and podcasters promote products or services using special tracking links. These links allow companies to track purchases and pay the creator a percentage of the sale or a fixed referral fee.
What is the Allegation Against PayPal/Honey?
A January 2025 class-action lawsuit alleges that PayPal/Honey replaces these affiliate links with its own, redirecting commissions to itself without offering any benefits to shoppers or financial incentives for the original creator.
In addition to not correctly applying commissions to the content creators, it is alleged that Honey did not offer the best available deals to consumers as well; the extension allowed businesses to choose which discount code was used, including lower-value codes that did not always give the consumers the best deals.
