## Merchant Integration

#### AI Onboarding Process to Scale

Think of Ecolink's verification process as a next-generation digital storefront. Instead of simply listing products, merchants create living, verified digital identities that build trust with consumers:

1. **Data** **Submission**

* Upload product details once, verify everywhere
* Turn sustainability practices into verified claims
* Build a trusted digital presence

2. **AI Verification**

* Get instant feedback on verification status
* Receive clear paths to improve standards
* Join a network of trusted brands
