The short version

Two different ways to run a creator storefront

Stan Store is primarily a creator-commerce platform. Its plans include checkout, courses, subscriptions, lead magnets, bookings and, at higher tiers, funnels, email and tools that let other people affiliate for a creator's own products.

InfluShop does not process checkout. A shopper clicks a product card and buys from the retailer through the creator's existing affiliate URL. That lets the product catalog span retailers while keeping fulfillment, returns and payment with each merchant.

A simple test separates the two: if you made the product, Stan is usually the stronger tool. If you recommend the product, InfluShop is usually the more natural storefront.

Questions

InfluShop and Stan Store FAQ

Can Stan Store display an external affiliate link?+

Stan supports External URL products, so an outside link can be displayed. InfluShop goes further for retailer recommendations by creating product cards and maintaining supported price data.

Can InfluShop sell my course or ebook?+

No. InfluShop can link to that sales page, but it does not host files, lessons or checkout. Stan Store is the better fit for that job.

What does 'affiliate tools' mean in Stan Store?+

Stan's Creator Pro affiliate tools help creators let other people promote the creator's products. InfluShop is built for the opposite role: the creator promotes products from external retailers.

Could I use both?+

Yes. Use Stan as the checkout for what you create and InfluShop as the catalog for what you recommend.

Build the affiliate store you control.

Paste the links you already use. InfluShop builds the cards, keeps supported prices current and leaves your tracking untouched.
