Target marketplace affiliate program

Written by

Target is an American retail corporation known for its chain of department stores that sell a variety of products, including clothing, electronics, household goods, and groceries, often offering trendy and stylish merchandise. If you’re looking for a target affiliate program, maybe you’d like to consider starting your own marketplace with 3-5x higher sales commission. Here’s how.

Vendo makes it easier and more affordable to create your multi-vendor marketplace. You can quickly launch, selling products from a variety of vendors, without the burdens of inventory and shipping logistics. And the sales commissions hover around 20-30% instead of 1-8%.
