Q) Who qualifies to join?
A) Any merchant with an online store, where visitors are able to see products and prices, and are able to place orders online. If you are in the process of setting up an online store, please feel free to contact us as well.

Q) What are the benefits?
A) This is a website for online shoppers. The visitors coming to this website are here to find the best place, at the right price to buy something. By placing your brand logo on our website, you gain more exposure to your brand. By having your price listed, you stand a better chance of making a sale to someone who's actively been looking for that product, compared the product to several others, and has compared your offer to others selling the same product and is just one click away from your store!

Q) What are the costs involved?
A) We charge a flat fee of R1-per-click 50c-per-click, billed at the end of each month with a report. We do NOT charge for duplicates. A duplicate is considered multiple clicks, on the same product, by the same person (IP) on the same day!

Q) How many clicks can I expect?
A) Anywhere from hundreds to thousands per month, it really depends on how many products you have, how diverse your offerings are, how competitive your prices are and how good your service is!

Q) How and when do you import our products?
A) We require an XML Data Feed, which is in our own format, which is not compatible with any other Comparison Shopping website. Our format is probably the most streamlined in the world, reducing bandwidth costs, and thus allowing us to pull the feed almost daily. For example, an average of 10,000 products will require about 500KB of bandwidth.

Q) I've already joined a Comparison Shopping website, why should I bother with yours?
A) NewEgg.com, one of the largest e-tailers in the world, has joined every major Comparison Shopping website in the US. Amazon and Dell, have joined them all. Why? Because Comparison Shopping is where the shoppers are going! If you are a shopper, why hunt for your product on lots of different websites, when lots of online stores have all come together here! We are the second largest and FASTEST¹ growing Comparison Shopping website in South Africa. We also have a network of website owners that have partnered with us to provide Comparison Shopping results for their websites. We are young, dynamic, full of energy with a passion for Comparison Shopping! You can bet we'll be around for as long as it takes!

Q) How does having our store listed here compare to Google Ads.
A) One of the differences, is that Google Ads could target people with various intentions. Some people just want information on products, some just want images for a project at home etc. Visitors come back to our website, when they are looking for something to buy. Advertising your products and prices on our website is not a replacement for Google Ads, and Google Ads are certainly not a replacement for joining this comparison shopping website. Almost all comparison shopping websites will outperform Google Ads in their conversion rates (conversion rate is the rate at which a click will convert to a sale), and our website is no different! Another difference is that most advertisers on Google tend to send visitors to their homepage, because it's really tedious to create a separate URL for each ad, and especially difficult to create a different ad for every kind of product. When visitors land on your website, coming from ours, they are taken directly to the product page, ready to place the order!
