## Discover products

Make a search:

* Search for products with text, image, or URL
* Layer on filters like price, brand, category, dimensions, and attributes

You'll get back:

* Structured product data, with a consistent schema across retailers
* Clean images, titles, and descriptions
* Current prices and availability
* Offers across retailers
* Rich metadata

## Earn on sales

We've partnered with thousands of brands who pay commissions on sales.
When your users make a purchase, Channel3 records the sale and pays you a percentage of the sale price.
