# Network

One agreement that reaches thousands of stores at once. Networks like FlexOffers and Rakuten gather stores that chose to be listed and compared. Connecting one network brings every store in it that approves us. As of October 23, 2026, 1 of the 6 store networks on Vessim's board is connected.

## Also called

affiliate network

## Why it matters at Vessim

Networks are how the index grows: one agreement brings in every store in it that approves Vessim, which is how one catalogue becomes many.
