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 displays your products to creators in their discovery experience. Creators can search for products, and automatically generate affiliate product links without the need for approval. Because opting into the Collabs Network doesn't require approving creators, you might want to consider opting out of the Collabs Network if you want to manually vet or approve creators that you work with.

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.
