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.

ecomko has had great success with Shopify Collabs influencer platform. We use the Shopify Collabs search function and a detailed vetting process to match influencers based on niche, audience demographics, engagement rates, and brand alignment. We provide a shortlist of potential influencers for the merchant to review and approve.

Performance is tracked using key metrics such as engagement rate, click-through rate (CTR), conversion rate, and return on investment (ROI). Ecomko provides reports based on what is reported in Shopify Collabs, our predominant KPI we look for is SALES.

Ecomko influencer management team conducts thorough research and analysis of influencers’ past content, audience engagement, and brand partnerships to ensure they align with the merchant’s values and target audience.

Commissions to creators are processed through your Shopify bill automatically using Collabs automatic payments. They display on your Shopify bill as a separate item called Shopify Collabs Commission.

All affiliate commissions from future orders are first subject to a holding period. During this period, the commission of canceled and fully refunded orders are automatically canceled. Also, during this period you can open a payment dispute. The default holding period is 30 days, but this can be changed in your Shopify Collabs settings.

After the holding period is over, the commission is automatically added to your upcoming Shopify bill (or sooner if you've reached your billing threshold). After you pay your Shopify bill, the commission is paid out to your Collabs creators if they have activated automatic payouts on their side.
