How CartStars Works

Most communities charge fees to join. We don’t.

Instead, CartStars is funded by recommended vendors.

📌

We do NOT:

🚫
Sell your data.
🚫
Take referral fees.
🚫
Let vendors spam you.
📌

We DO:

Connect members with trusted vendors—only when they need them.
Bring in vendors that brands have already vouched for.
Keep all partnerships transparent and value-driven.
🛠️
Recommended Vendors do NOT get access to the peer-to-peer platform.
🛠️
Recommended Vendors do NOT have a backdoor to your inbox.
🛠️
Recommended Vendors do NOT get to “pitch” at events.

Instead, recommended vendors:

Join in-person events to build relationships.
Sponsor at cost because they believe in investing in relationships.
Are recommended by members who’ve worked with them.
💡

When you need a vendor, we don’t just send you to a directory. We connect you with both the peer who recommended them and the partner themselves—so you get the full download before making a decision.

Member Expectations

🛠️
