The Shop on Zora is a curated space where users can discover useful products while supporting the growth of the platform. Every item listed in the Shop is an affiliate product, which means when someone purchases through a Zora link, we earn a small commission—at no extra cost to the buyer.
It’s one of the ways we sustain our operations while keeping Zora free for the majority of users.
What Is the Zora Shop? #
Zora’s Shop features handpicked affiliate products from trusted retailers like Amazon and other selected platforms. Items range from essentials for daily living to tech, books, home goods, cultural items, and work tools that resonate with our diverse immigrant community.
The Shop is:
-
Easy to browse
-
Designed for mobile and desktop
-
Curated with the community’s needs in mind
-
Continuously updated with relevant, seasonal, or trending items
Why Affiliate Products? #
Affiliate partnerships allow Zora to:
-
Remain independent and community-focused
-
Generate revenue without relying on intrusive ads
-
Feature products we believe in or know are genuinely useful
-
Offer users a simple way to support our platform financially
Each time a user clicks through and purchases a listed item, Zora earns a percentage. It might be small per item, but it adds up and contributes to server costs, platform improvements, and community projects.
