the tradespoke difference
How is Tradespoke different from other affiliate marketing programs?
Tradespoke is the only social commerce platform built exclusively for home design professionals.
We partner with only the best brands in design and interiors, so there’s no mass-market filler or cheap knock-offs.
We pay real commissions (15% or more guaranteed) as compared to other sites which offer as little as 3%.
We offer a customizable branded homepage to show off your design skills and story, instead of a generic link.
Most importantly: your customers stay with YOU. It's your store, your brand, your relationship. We just handle the boring stuff.
Tradespoke was built by design professionals, to uphold the highest standards. Because your taste is worth more.
How is this different from starting my own e-commerce store?
Starting up an e-commerce store means buying and managing inventory, handling shipping and returns, and investing tens of thousands of dollars to build a technical platform.
Tradespoke handles all those headaches, and gives you a shortcut to selling from hundreds of the best in home and interior design brands.
You focus on curating amazing products and showing buyers how to style them. We handle everything else.
Why should I trust you over bigger platforms?
Because we're built FOR professional tastemakers, not against them:
- Higher commissions: 2-3x more than competitors
- Better curation: Quality over quantity approach
- Your customers stay with you: Not sent to other sites
- Personal service: We limit users and brands we work with, you're not just a number
- Quality over Quantity: Less but better choice
How do I cancel my plan?

What's the catch?
