You say that commissions average 5%, but what is the variability and where does it come from?

Last, a bit of feedback about the product.

I tried searching "nintendo switch 2" on your homepage and the results that came up kind of sketched me out. You mention that the products are US-only, but the first result clearly says "hong kong" in the title. And the store listed is "My Nintendo Store PT"; is that the official store? When I google that it takes me to the Portuguese version of the nintendo website, and that makes me even more confused.

The second result for the same search appears to be a dress, which is obviously completely unrelated to video games in general.

EDIT: I'm noticing irrelevant results for many queries. Searching "plain white pillowcase", the third result is a t-shirt, the seventh result is a dress, and the eleventh result is a light bulb.

Searching "men's wallet" the very first result is an outdoor picnic table.

As someone who has worked in e-retail, this catalog seems to have a lot of momentum.

We're working with enterprise customers now that want to use our system to dedupe all their gnarly business data, ground it to real legal entities, enrich it with base insights, then are asking for further data points more from a risk and due diligence standpoint.

Product information has come up repeatedly, but as you clearly know, that is a beast in itself that I don't think we'll ever tackle. For context, I helped build out the product data infra at https://www.wiser.com, and I'm not inclined to spend my time categorizing and building the taxonomy for pots, pans, and towels again.

I'm going to try out the product and happy to chat further if you think there's an opp to collaborate in some way. My email is in my profile.

I had tried to sign up for affiliate sales a while back, but:

It is complicated to sign up for it – depending on the vendor you have to fill in a number of forms, or sign up via a different affiliate network to even use them.

Wait times for a response are long – I remember some networks or individual sellers got back to me months later.

There's a high bar to entry – I had a tiny website, so I didn't get approved, but I had a good CTR. I eventually had to shut down the website since I realized there was no viable option to monetization and was just burning money on name registration + hosting.

My website was also not in the blog-space, i.e. I didn't do reviews, but I did offer good info, and Amazon for example specifically denied me affiliate permissions because of this.

I might revive the website and see if it'll work again with you guys. This is a path to monetization that could make it sustainable. Thanks and good luck!

1) Are there plans to allow Devs to do the same?

2) why wouldn't you open the limit beyond 1000 free as long as you are making a rev share

3) does this pick from Shopify products/stores?

Imo the agentic loop isn't really closed unless you allow agents to pay and paywalls today aren't agent friendly. Tokenized cards, 16 digital cards. Perhaps but this involves high trust from users. Which means you are left with guiding users to the link and hoping they buy the product.

4) partnering with merchants where cards are already tokenized maybe your best converting potential customer base. But it's easy to do evil here, or loose trust without guardrails.

5) I would come up with a process to incentivize adding products to the ecosystem. However tiny the reward.

Lot of opportunity. Nice pitch. Good luck!

Would try this out of you can increase the 1k limit to something that is a win:win
