If you are rejected for program, our team will state why. We want to accept as many retailers as we can! Most rejections are due to websites that aren’t functioning properly, do not contain products that we market, or have poor-quality images.
If you do not meet the criteria or are unsure but would like to have a presence on your community page, please reach out to local @ mainstroll.com.
Our technology can parse select information from your website’s product pages, similar to how Google or other search engines crawl and aggregate billions of content per day. Unlike Google which crawls most every webpage on the internet, MainStroll curates pieces from approved retailers who are a good fit for our platform.
MainStroll is a curated search platform. In order to keep the quality of content at a premium, we will review your entire catalog and sync the pieces that are eligible and think would perform well. Products should have:
- high-quality, professional and clear featured image
- Product is available for purchase
- Product fits into at least one of MainStroll’s product categories and departments.
Items most likely to get rejected are due to images that are low quality or distorted, taken in a cluttered setting, and/or do not allow you to the see the individual product fully.
Transactions continue to take place on your own website. Sivigny’s is an immersive search tool to help customers find your products. We are not a marketplace.
When our site detects an item that has sold out on your site or is no longer available to view, our technology will identify the change and remove the product from MainStroll automatically. This process happens daily.
No. If you are an approved retailer, MainStroll is free to take part in as part of your member benefits with Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce!
