For retailers

ZETO shows people the sale items, in their size, from the online stores they follow. Shoppers add a store by pasting its address; ZETO then reads the store's public terms page before it reads anything else, records what it says, and lists the store only after a person has reviewed it.

Getting listed

Any of these lets ZETO list a store's sale items:

A product feed — a Google Shopping or affiliate feed ZETO can read on a schedule. Feeds are the fastest path and cost your site no crawl at all.
A robots.txt allowance for the crawler plus a written yes to the address below:
```
User-agent: curatebot
Allow: /
```
A store whose robots.txt allows the crawler needs nothing from you — its public terms are read, recorded and reviewed by a person, and it is listed once that review is done.

None of this guarantees a listing: every store is read and reviewed the same way, and a store ZETO cannot read reliably stays off until it can.

What ZETO reads first, and honours

The store's public terms page, before any product page and about once a month after that. What it says is recorded and reviewed by a person; robots.txt is what the crawler obeys. A store ZETO stops reading tells the people who follow it that it isn't available.
An email to the address below saying no. That stops ZETO reading the store, and its items come off ZETO.
robots.txt, Crawl-delay, 403s and challenges — the crawler page below describes exactly how.

What is and is not stored

Stored: the product facts a shopper compares — name, brand, price and sale price, currency, sizes and availability, image addresses — and a price history so a follower can see when an item went on sale.
Not stored: full pages, reviews, reviewer names or ratings, and nothing from behind a login, a cart or a checkout.
Marketplaces and classifieds are never crawled — those are reached only through their own APIs and data providers.
