4 Network Partnership Strategies

Each playbook sets your network ratio, partner quality threshold, and category filters. The network intelligence engine uses these to auto-match and rank partner stores.

🤝

Complementary Partners

High-quality referrals from stores that complete you

Low category overlap, same vertical. 20% network ratio, 0.6 min partner rating. Conservative and brand-safe.

🔀

Category Expansion

Show shoppers alternatives from partner stores

Similar stores with 0.4+ overlap. 30% ratio. Grows the overall pie but with some cannibalization risk.

💸

Affiliate Revenue

Earn commissions on traffic you send

40% ratio, 0.3 min rating. Maximizes outbound referrals for commission earning. Best for high-traffic stores.

🔒

Closed Network

Full control over which stores appear

Pre-approved partners only. 15% ratio, 0.7 min rating. For brands needing total control.

How the Cross-Store Recommendation Network Works

Most product recommendation engines are limited to a single store's catalog. If a customer wants something you don't sell, the recommendation engine has nothing to show. SellerZoom's cross-store network solves this by connecting complementary stores, allowing recommendations to span multiple catalogs.

The network uses the same AI embedding model that powers internal recommendations. Products from partner stores are embedded in the same vector space as your own, so cross-store recommendations are semantically relevant — not random ads. A customer looking at hiking boots on your outdoor gear store might see a waterproof camera case from a partner electronics store.

The Commission Model

When a customer clicks a cross-store recommendation and makes a purchase, a commission is split between the source store (who showed the rec), the target store (who made the sale), and the platform. Commission rates and credit systems are configured per playbook, with the Affiliate Revenue playbook optimizing for maximum outbound referral volume.

Closed Networks for Premium Brands

The Closed Network playbook is designed for brands that want the benefits of cross-store recommendations without the risk of appearing alongside unknown or off-brand stores. You approve each partner individually, and only approved stores can appear in your recommendation slots.
