Shopify Collabs

Great interface, but needs protections for sellers. I sent 2 candles out to "influencers" who have yet to post with them as agreed, and two months later, I'm still waiting. I've never had this happen before. Implement a deposit or something influencers have to put down so that sellers aren't out money if they do not post with the product!

So far so good :)

Zero app localization for Japanese. Reached out multiple times to support but they never update the interface to include Japanese.

ya

The Collabs app is great however it would be useful to see which influencers have already been invited to collaborate when browsing for new partners.

yes ,我会推荐

This app doesn't benefit anyone but the creator. I've had countless creators ghost me after receiving their products even after signing UGC creator contracts. Now I will have to take them all to small claims court! The problem is Shopify shouldn't allow shady people like that on their platform. I've reached out to them to let them know what happened and they're like "unfortunately there is nothing we can do"! How about suspend the accounts of creators who take advantage of brands just to get free products! When I had an issue with a creator on Influenster, the CEO immediately took action and even wanted to send me a refund for the $300 worth of product the creator got. Step it up Collabs. The app is supposed to be a positive, collaborative experience, not one that hurts the very brands that use shopify as their website host to run their businesses.

We have been utilizing Shopify Collabs for the past 10 months and it has really helped to significantly enhance our influencer and affiliate partner strategies. This platform is incredibly intuitive, simplifying the creation of affiliate links, tracking sales, and managing product gifting. One of the standout features of Collabs is its strategic flexibility. We can seamlessly optimize our creators and their links around critical sales or promotions and new product launches. For example, Collabs makes it quite easy to adjust our strategies by moving creators between different tiers, allowing us to increase their codes and links during key time periods.

Additionally, with seamless automations through integrations like Klaviyo/Flow, communication with our influencers is efficient and scalable. We've explored other affiliate platforms, but Collabs, while not entirely perfect, definitely leads the market in user experience and capabilities for both merchants and creators.

In today's evolving influencer landscape, where it often feels "pay-to-play," it's challenging to justify additional tech or platform fees on top of influencer payments. The inclusion of Collabs in our existing Shopify subscription allows us to reallocate those savings directly towards influencer partnerships, maximizing our investment.

We do see room for improvement with the onboarding features for new creators, particularly for those with whom we don't yet have established relationships. It would be a game-changer if new creators could accept gifts more seamlessly without needing to set up an account. Currently, we approach these partnerships incrementally by sending gifts manually to build genuine relationships, eventually setting them up with an affiliate code through Collabs. While this method is effective, a more streamlined process would be even better.

Overall, Shopify Collabs is an essential asset for our business and we plan for this to become a key sales channel for us as we scale the brand.

Love using this collabs app! So easy to use and helps keep everything organized.
