Platform
The vendor directory platform for trusted recommendations
Public pages, private hub, and monetization in one stack.
ReferLyst is a vendor directory platform built for curators — not anonymous review sites. You control who appears, how they're organized, and how the page looks.
The problem
Sound familiar? These are the pain points people search for before they find a better way.
- Review sites show strangers — you want vendors you vouch for
- Building a custom directory means dev work and hosting
- Google Docs directories look unprofessional on mobile
- No way to charge vendors for placement
What you get
Private Vendor Hub
Master records for every vendor — phone, email, notes, status, and category. Edit once, publish to multiple lists.
Public lists & directories
Curated pages with categories, call/text/email buttons, and your branding. One shareable link per audience.
Publish controls
Choose exactly which hub vendors appear on each list. Toggle visibility without deleting records.
Vendor self-signup
Share a join link — vendors apply with their info. You review and approve before anything goes public.
Bio links + shop tabs
Social icons, affiliate picks, and vendor referrals on the same page — Pro themes included.
Analytics & intros
Track clicks and intro requests on Pro. See what your audience actually uses.
