What the free route requires
- No public submission flow documented — Merchant Maverick is an affiliate review site for small-business software (POS, merchant services, payroll, accounting); reviews are staff-written
Requirements
- Product must fit small-business software categories — point of sale, payment processing, payroll, accounting, ecommerce
- Reviews are editorially driven with affiliate economics; contact via the site's contact page
- merchantmaverick.com/about-us/ returned 404 this session; the site otherwise resolves normally
Prepare before opening the form
- Product in a covered SMB-software category with pricing/details ready
- Pitch via the contact page — no public submit form found
Workflow
- Contact the editorial team via the site contact page
- Offer review access and product details
- Coverage, if it happens, is a staff-written review or inclusion in a best-of roundup
Watch for
- Affiliate-review economics — coverage slots correlate with partner programs; treat 'reviews' accordingly
- SMB-vertical only — dev tools and enterprise SaaS are off-beat
- No documented submission SLA
What counts as live
