How shopping works.

Why do some purchases leave Cook Curated?

Most objects are fulfilled by approved retailers or makers. Their purchase button opens the selected partner with Cook Curated tracking applied. That partner processes payment, ships the order, and provides the governing purchase terms.

What goes into the Cook bag?

Every eligible native offer enters the Cook bag, including Cook inventory, Shopify Collective products, and approved direct-ship supplier products. Cook Curated manages checkout and customer support.

Can I combine every object in one checkout?

Eligible supplier products share one Cook checkout. Affiliate-only merchants still require an external transaction when their technology or agreement cannot support the Cook bag; that exception is identified before you leave.

Who handles shipping, returns, and order questions?

For partner purchases, the retailer shown on the product page handles payment, shipping, returns, and order support under its own policies. For Cook checkout purchases, Cook Curated is the seller and customer-support contact; an authorized supplier may ship the order. Cook Curated's published shipping and return policy applies.

Are prices guaranteed?

Prices on Cook Curated are a useful current reference, not a guarantee. Partner pricing, availability, promotions, tax, and shipping are confirmed on the retailer’s site. Direct Cook pricing is confirmed in the Cook checkout.

Does Cook Curated earn a commission?

Sometimes. A retailer may pay Cook Curated a commission when a tracked visit results in a qualifying purchase, at no added cost to the customer. Commercial relationships do not determine what earns a place in the collection.

What do saved objects remember?

Saved objects and the Cook bag are currently remembered only in the browser on that device. They are not an account, and they do not reserve inventory or lock a price.
