The newest 8 of 379. Open one to read it in full, with the developer's reply where there is one.
It would be nice if when you're going to invite users, that it would return to the page that you were on vs. forcing you to re-enter your search criteria and scroll back to the page you were on,
The creator engagement is low. I would also like better filters to sort my lists. When I collect creators, there is no easy way to sort the invited and not-yet-invited accounts within that list. This means that I need to go through manually for every step. It would also benefit brands to see if creators have even seen our invitations.
We suggest adding filter criteria for the number of followers an influencer has and their primary product categories
Its good, its free, the auto commission payment is convenient. It would be great if there was an group email function to ambassadors/affiliates
Collabs affiliate links produce a 404 error.
Not sure why no one knows or mentions this but partial refunds are not deducted from commissions!!! We have had orders that were mostly returned and the affiliate keeps their entire commission unless it’s a full refund. This is so basic and dumb that Shopify collabs doesn’t deduct partial refunds. BEWARE!
Only good for small brands that does not need reporting. But guess what? Everyone want reporting to see how their marketing campaign with influencers are doing!
The app is ok for managing your own collabs. But collabs that you get from Shopify, i.e. collab applications are mostly SEO parasites. All they did about a year ago - get your coupon, add it to a coupon website and make money of your on your brand. Shopify tried to deal with this. What they do now is create a website that has some info from your website and add their collab link there. Some people click on their page found in Google and that's it - they make money of you. The more traffic your attract - the more well known your brand is, the more they will make money of your. BUT THEY WON'T BRING YOU TRAFFIC or any extra money. They will simply reduce your margins. So app itself if ok, but most collabs applying via Shopify are scammers. Also, if you have a subscription model, app does not correctly attribute sales.
