Important
Gelato's dual commission structure is unique: you earn 15% on order volume AND 15% on merchant subscriptions. However, both are capped at 12 months, making this a front-loaded opportunity. Appeals to creators reselling merchandise and small brands looking for print-on-demand. The 30-day cookie is standard.
