FAQs

How many followers do I need to join?

We welcome creators of all sizes — from specialised lab channels to material science enthusiasts. What matters most is the relevance of your audience to our products.

I'm a researcher, not an influencer. Can I still join?

Absolutely! If you're using any related materials in your lab and want to share your experience, or if you're writing review papers and want to cite our technical notes — we'd love to partner with you.

How do I get paid?

Payments are sent via PayPal quarterly. Since orders may take time from inquiry to completion, we settle commissions every quarter to ensure everything is properly accounted for.

Why don't you use standard tracking links?

Because our business involves technical consultation and offline quotes, standard online tracking may be inaccurate. To ensure you are fully compensated, we provide a unique promo code. Your audience gets 5% off, and every order using your code is automatically flagged — so tracking relies on the actual discount, not on cookies that might get blocked.
