What members say, and the year they said it
What FreshStore users say
"I've now built more than 30 sites with FreshStore. It's the only product I've tried that actually works for building affiliate stores. I even list my own products alongside Amazon's, so I get paid twice. Once for the sale, then again as an affiliate."
"I have been with Fresh Labs almost from the beginning, 12 years I think. Carey Baird is one of very few netpreneurs who have developed software and continuously updated it and kept up with the times. Especially now with the advent of AI. Absolutely wonderful product."
"Business in a box with so many features. Newbies can build a store in 1 day easily."
