You Keep Control, Margins, and Customer Relationships
Unlike traditional marketplaces that charge commissions and own the customer relationship, ChatGPT Merchants operates differently.
Traditional Marketplaces
15-30% commission on every sale
Marketplace owns customer data
Limited control over pricing and promotions
Competition with marketplace's own brand
Monthly fees + listing fees + ad spend
Google UCP (GEO)
Zero commissions on sales (Direct to Consumer)
You are the merchant of record, you own customer data
Full control over pricing, promotions, and margins
No competing products, ranking based on relevance
No listing fees, no monthly fees, no ad spend required
You Remain the Merchant of Record
Orders are processed through your Payment Service Provider. You control order handling and customer support. Google Gemini is a discovery channel, not a marketplace middleman.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Google UCP?
The Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) is Google's open standard for connecting product data directly to AI models like Gemini. It allows AI to understand not just "what" a product is, but "who" it's for and "why" it's the best choice, enabling much more accurate recommendations.
How is GEO different from traditional SEO?
Traditional SEO focuses on keywords to rank links. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) focuses on structuring data and context so AI models choose your content as the best direct answer. Sales Layer automates this structuring.
Do I need technical skills to use this connector?
No. Sales Layer's UCP connector is "no-code". We visually map your fields to Google's requirements and automatically validate data quality before publishing.
Does this replace Google Merchant Center?
No, it enhances it. UCP works alongside your existing Merchant Center feed but adds the rich, structured layer needed for conversational AI experiences in Gemini and Search Generative Experience (SGE).
Is my data secure?
Absolutely. Sales Layer is SOC2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant. You retain full ownership of your data, and we only transmit what is necessary for the UCP feed.
