Collabs Network

Collabs Network lets you share affiliate commission with verified Collabs creators, which can drive sales at a low cost.

When you activate Collabs Network, you set a commission rate on either all products or at the collection level, which shows your products to creators in their discovery experience. Creators can search for products, and automatically generate affiliate product links without the need for approval.

You can also choose to share your application page with creators so that they can apply to your business to further their affiliate relationship.

You're notified when a customer makes a purchase using a creator's affiliate link, and you can manage your creator relationships by assigning Creators to one of your affiliate tiers.
