Shopify Collabs

They REALLY need to add some basic filtering to prevent garbage applications coming in. 90% of my applicants do not read my requirements for # of followers or category. Please implement a hard gating for number of followers! And, do more to root out these discount code hawking "influencers". Its just spam.

Caution from our experience:
We found that this app invoices our Shopify account for affiliate commissions, but only releases payments to affiliates once they’ve reached at least $25.

There’s no option to request payouts below this amount, so if an affiliate earns under $25, the funds remain stuck and unpaid. This became a problem when we looked at moving to a different affiliate platform, because any affiliates who hadn’t reached the $25 minimum would never receive payment — yet the amounts had already been billed to us through Shopify.

If the platform won’t pay affiliates under the threshold, it would seem fairer for those commissions to be returned to the business so they can be paid manually.

Je suis choqué de voir que c'est mon adresse de service clients définie dans Shopify qui est utilisée pour l'envoi des invitations et non l'adresse indiquée dans Collabs. On le voit lorsque les influenceurs répondent. Sous leur réponse, dans la copie du message initial il y a écrit : "Envoyé par serviceclients@". Ca ne fait pas sérieux.

No longer allows sign-ups due to a glitch - I've spent over a month now from the time I reported the issue but it continues and I haven't seen a follow-up. My applicants connect a social account but can't submit their application because it says "a social account must be connected". It happens to me, as well.
Besides this, the interface is still unintuitive. It takes me at least 5 clicks to find the setting or page I'm looking for. They did a facelift last year but it didn't help much. A mega-menu would be much easier than lots of pages with subtle buttons/tabs sprinkled around them.
Once things are set up, it works reasonably well for being free. I would have it at 4 stars without the glitch.

I am very disappointed with how influencers are handling brand collaborations on the Shopify Collab. Many influencers send their applications, and after accepting some of them, I sent gifts. They received the gifts but failed to post or share stories about the products. They also do not respond to emails or Instagram messages. Additionally, there is no option to rate these creators/influencers, which allows them to act unaccountably.

Unable to create a program.

Not sure if it was the app or the people doing the collabs, not a good experience, we didn't receive feedback of all the people we sent our product to try it. It was a waste of time and money. Good or bad feedback is good but need the feedback to improve our service, that's why we sent our product. A good quality product. Bad quality of collaborators, they do not show after they receive the product and you end up looking for them without any success.

The app looks good at the beginning because it allows to look for influencer pretty easily...but:
1) there is no rating about the influencer...if they do a good job or not
2) There is no internal chat to communicate with them, after the first message, you need to switch to email
3) there is no mechanism to force the influencer to do their jobs...sometime they get free gifts but they don't do any promotion.

It will automatically generate a 6.8% off in my shopping cart! This is crazy, please fix it quickly, I have uninstalled it, but the discount is still there

My account was grandfathered into Collabs from Dovetale. I have spent 2 days trying to invite and receive an invitation to collab with another business owner. We both sent emails and messages and have not received any answers to what would be a simple solution. This app used to be so easy to use before it changed to collabs. I'm very disappointed. It has good features, but it's useless if you can't properly invite or register to use them.
