What changes with pay-per-sale
- No sale, no cost: posts that don't sell cost nothing, so many creators can test many hooks at once.
- Content is made for the creators: on CartViral Earn the AI makes clips from your product photos; creators post them on their own accounts.
- Payouts are backed: a refundable deposit (from $100) funds creator commissions, so creators trust the offer.
- Tracking without store API access: sales are matched with your store's own order data.

When is paying per video better?
When you need guaranteed content on a deadline for your own ads. Pay-per-sale wins when you want many creators testing many angles and only want to pay for what sells.
