Most retailers are up and running in under an hour. Get your Gemini key, upload your catalog CSV, click Process, configure your brand colors, and embed the widget. The included setup wizard walks through every step.

You receive an email with a download link within minutes. The ZIP contains everything: the engine, widget files, setup wizard, and a sample catalog. Install, configure, and go.
Curato is a product discovery tool embedded on your existing storefront. It does not create advertisements or make health claims. We recommend consulting with your legal counsel regarding tobacco product display regulations in your jurisdiction.
