GhostPicks is a display tool that helps you showcase products beautifully. To earn money, you need to:
Important: GhostPicks doesn't handle payments, track sales, or provide affiliate links. We simply display your products with the links you provide.
Absolutely! GhostPicks is perfect for affiliate marketing. You can use Amazon Associates, Impact, ShareASale, or any other affiliate links. Just make sure to follow FTC disclosure guidelines on your blog and comply with each affiliate program's terms of service.
No! While we're optimized for Ghost, our widgets work on any website that allows HTML/JavaScript: WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, static sites, and more. The embed code works anywhere.
Our widgets automatically inherit your blog's fonts, colors, and styling. Use theme="auto" (default) for best results. You can also force light or dark themes if needed. The widget is designed to blend seamlessly with any design.
Yes! You can choose themes (auto/light/dark), hide the collection title, and remove branding with Pro plans. The widget uses CSS variables, so advanced users can add custom CSS to further customize the appearance.
Your account reverts to the free plan gracefully. You can keep 1 collection with up to 5 products. Extra collections are hidden (not deleted), and the "Powered by GhostPicks" branding returns. All analytics and auto-scraping features remain available. You can reactivate Pro anytime to restore full access.
Very fast! Widgets are served from a global CDN, load asynchronously after your page content, and are optimized for performance. They won't slow down your blog's loading speed.
Yes! You can upload your own images (up to 2MB) or use image URLs. We recommend high-quality product photos with clear backgrounds for best results. Images are automatically optimized and served from our CDN.
No! We don't take any commission on your sales or affiliate earnings. You keep 100% of what you earn. We only make money from Pro subscriptions, keeping our incentives aligned with yours.
When you paste a product URL, GhostPicks automatically scrapes the page's Open Graph metadata to extract the title, description, and image. This works with most major retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and official brand stores. The auto-fill happens after you stop typing for 1 second, or you can click "Scrape Now" for immediate results.
Not yet, but it's on our roadmap! For now, you can manage everything through the dashboard. If you have specific API needs, please contact us at support@ghostpicks.co and let us know what you'd like to build.
