Website builder and e-commerce referral programs
This category covers services for building and running a business online: website and landing page builders, hosted online store platforms, and tools that help sellers research products and markets for marketplaces such as eBay or Amazon. Most of them are sold as monthly or yearly subscriptions, often with a free trial or a free starter plan.
How referral bonuses usually work here. Platforms in this space typically reward new customers who arrive through a partner link with a longer trial, a discount on the first payment, or extra time on a paid plan. Some apply the offer automatically when you open the link; others ask you to enter a promo code at checkout. The partner who shared the link usually earns a share of your subscription — this does not change the price you pay. The exact bonus for each service is listed on its own page and comes from the partner's published terms.
What to check before signing up:
- Plan limits — number of pages, products, orders or searches, storage, and whether a custom domain is included.
- Transaction fees — some store platforms charge a percentage on sales on top of the subscription and the payment provider's fees.
- Renewal price — first-period discounts often end, and yearly plans renew at the regular rate.
- Payments and region — which payment gateways, currencies and countries are supported, and whether the service targets a specific market.
- Data portability — whether you can export products, customers and content if you move to another platform later.
- Cancellation and refunds — how to cancel and whether unused time is refunded.

Frequently asked questions
Do I pay more if I sign up through a referral link?
No. The partner's commission is paid by the platform out of its own revenue. The price you see is the same, and in many cases the link adds a trial extension or a discount.
Is a website builder or a hosted store platform better for selling online?
A general website builder suits a portfolio, landing page or small catalog. A dedicated e-commerce platform adds inventory, checkout, shipping, taxes and order management, which matters once you sell regularly.
Can I keep the referral bonus if I switch plans later?
It depends on the service. Some bonuses apply only to the first payment or a specific plan. Check the terms on the program's page before upgrading or downgrading.
What should I look for in a product research tool for marketplaces?
Check which marketplaces and countries it covers, how fresh its data is, the search or tracking limits of each plan, and whether there is a trial so you can test it on your own niche first.
