What you get as an operator

Tiered platform fee

Basic starts with a higher platform fee because support is lighter. Pro lowers the fee with stronger tools. Luxury has the lowest fee because it is treated like a city-partner path.

Real training

Video certification modules per tier, including how Basic, Pro, and Elite differ in correction and restoration scope. Submit a test pair before luxury jobs route to you.

Consumables at cost+10%

Refill your oxidation solution, paints, and protectants through the operator portal at near-wholesale prices.

Marketing and territory

Basic and Pro operators market themselves locally. Luxury operators can qualify for ShoeGlitch-supported digital ad spend and an exclusive territory with clear performance standards.

Limited spots per city. Luxury territory is reviewed carefully so exclusivity stays fair, measurable, and tied to real local performance.
