# Build Your Ddriftt Curator Storefront and Start Earning

> Set up your branded Ddriftt storefront — the public profile page where your audience discovers and books from all your curated staylists.

Your Ddriftt storefront is your home on the platform — a branded, public-facing profile page that showcases everything you curate. It's where your audience lands when they want to book the places you recommend, and it's yours to shape. Every staylist you create lives here, discoverable by your followers and by anyone browsing Ddriftt.

## What is a storefront?

Your storefront is a dedicated page on Ddriftt at `ddriftt.com/[yourhandle]`. It displays:

* **Your profile** — your name, photo, and bio
* **Your staylists** — all your curated collections of properties, presented under your brand
* **Your handle** — a unique username that becomes part of your storefront URL

Your storefront is publicly visible. Anyone with the link can browse your staylists and book directly from them — no Ddriftt account required to book.

<Note>
  Your curator handle is permanent in your storefront URL. Choose a handle that matches how your audience already knows you — your brand name, creator handle, or publication name works best.
</Note>

## Setting up your storefront

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your account">
    Go to [ddriftt.com/signup](https://ddriftt.com/signup) and sign up with your email or Google account. You must be at least 18 years old to register.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete your profile">
    After signing in, you'll be prompted to complete your curator profile. This is where you set your handle, which becomes your storefront URL.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add your bio and photo">
    Upload a profile photo and write a short bio. Your bio is the first thing visitors read on your storefront — use it to tell your audience what your taste is all about and what kinds of stays you curate.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create your first staylist">
    A storefront without staylists is just a profile. Head to [Creating Staylists](/curators/creating-staylists) to build your first curated collection and give your visitors something to explore and book.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Customizing your storefront

Your storefront reflects your taste and brand. Here's what you can configure:

| Field             | What it does                                                                        |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Display name**  | The name that appears at the top of your storefront page                            |
| **Handle**        | Your unique username — sets your storefront URL at `ddriftt.com/[yourhandle]`       |
| **Bio**           | A short description of who you are and what you curate — sets the tone for visitors |
| **Profile photo** | Your face or brand logo — shown on your storefront and on each staylist             |

Keep your bio focused on your curation angle. "Slow travel in Southern Europe" or "Boutique hotels for design obsessives" immediately tells a visitor whether your taste matches theirs.

## Sharing your storefront

Your storefront URL is `ddriftt.com/[yourhandle]`. Share it anywhere your audience expects to find your recommendations.

Once you have at least one published staylist, your storefront is ready to share. Anyone who visits can browse your collections and book properties directly — the entire experience happens on your Ddriftt page.

<Tip>
  Put your Ddriftt storefront link in every place your audience looks for your recommendations: your Substack bio, Instagram link-in-bio, YouTube channel description, newsletter footer, podcast show notes, and your website's navigation. The more entry points you create, the more bookings flow through your storefront.
</Tip>

## Linking from your existing content

Ddriftt works alongside your existing publishing workflow — you don't need to change how you create content. Here's how to connect your channels:

* **Substack** — Add your storefront URL to your publication bio and reference specific staylists inside relevant posts
* **Instagram** — Add your storefront to your link-in-bio (Linktree, Later, or directly in your bio field)
* **Newsletter** — Include a footer line like "Book the stays I recommend → ddriftt.com/\[yourhandle]"
* **YouTube** — Add your storefront to your channel description and pin it in video descriptions for travel content
* **TikTok** — Link from your bio; mention your storefront in videos where you feature specific properties
* **Podcast** — Read out your storefront URL in episodes where you discuss hotels or destinations
* **Website / blog** — Embed a link or button to your storefront anywhere you write about accommodation

You don't need to move your audience to Ddriftt — just give them a clear path to book when they're ready. For any questions about setting up your storefront, contact the curator team at [curators@ddriftt.com](mailto:curators@ddriftt.com).
