Every country
Amazon in 23 countries and eBay in 14. A visitor in Germany lands on Amazon.de, a visitor in Canada on Amazon.ca, with your affiliate ID on the link. Etsy and AliExpress reach buyers almost anywhere, and Walmart covers the US. One site serves the whole world.
Search
Connect Google once, and every new page is added to Google and Bing for you, with a sitemap, clean addresses and the structured data search engines read. Every site you build after that is covered. Indexed within 5 days, clicks within 2 weeks.
Consider size, material and style to find the best bed for your dog. Six things to check before you buy.
Several sites
Every site in one table: what is indexed, what is getting clicks, what to build next. Not every site gets found, so members start with a handful of niches, watch the clicks, and grow the winners. Your hundredth site launches as fast as your first.

Member story
Ingvar builds his sites in batches, keeps the ones the numbers favor, and treats the whole portfolio as one business.
Successful members run on average 30 sites. FreshStore makes it easy to build, manage and grow tens or hundreds of sites.

Hosting, SSL, backups, speed and every update are done for you. There is no WordPress to patch and no plugin to renew. A site left alone for a year still works and still shows today's prices.
Why FreshStore
Hosting, SSL, the CDN, security updates, product data, price updates and a free Starter Domain are ours. Your sites stay live and current; we research the niches and you choose which to build.
Connect your AI
The built-in AI needs no account and no setup. If you already use an AI assistant of your own, it can read and edit your site too.
Ask in plain English which products get the most clicks. It reads the site and answers.
Have it draft a buying guide and add it to the site.
Have it rewrite product titles and descriptions, a few pages at a time.
Have it write a script that adds products from a list of Amazon links.
n8n, Make, Zapier and your own scripts work too, such as a new article every Friday.
You make the key in your site settings, choose read or write, and revoke it any time.

“I manage multiple affiliate stores with FreshStore, one of them focused on KitchenAid products. Everything runs smoothly, the design looks professional, and the support is excellent. I’m very satisfied and can highly recommend it.”
“I only joined 4 days ago but am really impressed. My first store is nearly complete already. FreshStore make it so easy with the step by step instructions and videos. I asked for help once and had an answer within an hour.”
“I started 3 stores, was impressed with the AI set-up which took very short time, and took away my biggest fear of getting things wrong. 4 sales in first 4 days that stores went public, and I bought 6 more!”

Before you start
Hi, I'm Carey
I started building affiliate stores in 2010 because I wanted automation and freedom to work anywhere, when I wanted, and with no calls, no customers and no boss. I still run hundreds of them today on the platform I built, FreshStore.
