We used several Influencers and not one single one of them did anything, they all where happy to collect the FREE gift, after we informed them the gift is your use and to promote our product to their followers. One replied and added that they don't care... it is free and they do not need to do anything else.... this is an absolute disgrace that they demand FREE products and are not willing to promote your business ... nothing in life is for free... Do not use this App there are no rules for the influencer - unless you are happy just to give stuff for FREE

2.9 star average rating tells you everything you need to know. It's exactly what others are saying. This app is knowingly hosting scams. Shopify isn't filtering the "creators" at all so you just get people that are coupon harvesting. Money gets paid out and Shopify does nothing to protect the stores that pay its bills. We've lots thousands because we foolishly put our trust in this app because it was built by Shopify.

My account apparently got hacked by someone after the app was downloaded. Some started posting their content connected to my store.

Influencers take products and ghost, fix this now!
Hi, there! Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, there is no way to force a creator to promote a particular brand or merchant. You may be able to create contracts (outside of Shopify) that outline the expectations for the work the creator will carry out. We recommend seeking legal advice when drafting any type of contract. - Greta, Shopify Support

I installed this app about two years ago but never used it. Today, I randomly decided to check something in the app, and to my shock, I found that two people I never accepted as collaborators or invited (again, I NEVER used the app) had scheduled payments, taking a percentage of two of my orders! This is insane! If I hadn't checked the app by chance, they would have stolen my money without me even noticing. This app is an absolute scam. Be very careful! I do NOT recommend installing it. I contacted Shopify support, and the first line support had no idea what to do. They had to escalate the issue to the Shopify Collabs team. I still don't know what's going to happen, but this experience is beyond frustrating and concerning. Stay away from this app! EDIT: the support team replied and I must say that your app is nothing short of a scam. Nowhere in the process of installing or using the app do you mention that people, even if they are not invited or have declined as collaborators, can still create affiliate links of their own. What is the point then? The entire purpose of this app is to allow control, and if I cannot control this, your app is worthless. To make matters worse, support has informed me that the holding period has passed, meaning these unauthorized individuals are now going to take my money—just as I suspected. This is outrageous and reeks of fraud. Your app and the way it operates are simply disgusting.
Thank you for taking the time and bringing this to our attention. While we're unable to provide account-specific support via the Shopify App Store, getting in touch with the Shopify Collabs team is the best course of action in order to identify how the two collaborators were added to your account. If you need further support with Shopify Collabs or have any other questions, then don't hesitate to get in touch with us via the Shopify Help Center (https://shopify.link/WJna). Cheers. -Elias, Shopify Support

Have sent product to multiple different creators through this app and not a single one reviews the product. I feel like its all scam people.
Thanks for taking the time and sharing this feedback. If the creators have received the samples and have not shared a review, then we'd recommend contacting the creator to see if they've had a chance to try the product yet. However, if you're unable to get a response and you'd like to file a complaint against a creator, then this is something we'd be happy to help you with. Simply visit the Shopify Help Center (https://shopify.link/WJna) and login to your account to create a support request. Cheers. -Elias, Shopify Support

I will reconsider my review when "influencers" can be rated and reported for failing to comply with agreed terms. I do not want to give free gifts to random individuals and then be ghosted!!!
Hey there, thanks for the review. I can certainly see the benefit of allowing merchants to rate the influencer that they have worked with. I am going to provide this as a suggestion to our developers of the application. With that being said, it is possible to create a contract that outlines the expectations for the work that the influencer will carry out. I would suggest seeking legal advice when drafting the contract. -Ollie, Shopify Support

this app continued to charge me after deleting it from my store!!
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. While Shopify Collabs is completely free to use for merchants and creators (https://shopify.link/d6DD), there may be a commission processing fee that's applied on some orders earned by affiliates. However, if you believe there's been a mistake on your Shopify invoice, then we'd be happy to take a closer look at your account. Please visit the Shopify Help Center (https://shopify.link/vRnL) and join us on a live chat. Cheers. -Elias, Shopify Support

The app is terribly slow, like dial up internet slow. However, you'll be waiting even longer for a content creator to actually review your product. I've had this app for over a year, and there is very little engagement, the search function is weak, and have had zero return. There is nothing to protect the sellers. Many fake creators wanting free stuff.
Hello! Thank you for reaching out and sharing your review. I understand the app is functioning at a slow pace on your end. This may occur if there is a significant amount of information that is stored on the app. I would like our Support team to take a look into this and see if we're able to replicate. You can access support by going to your Collabs Dashboard and clicking the 'Get Support' section. 'Get Support' can be found by clicking on the three-dot menu in the upper right-hand side. In regard to content creator(s) reviewing products, you can try looking into creating contracts that outline the expectations for the work the creator will carry out. We recommend seeking legal advice when drafting any type of contract. -Victoria, Shopify Support.

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!
Hi, there. Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback with Shopify Collabs. We're sorry to hear you did not have an ideal experience using the app. We recommend creating contracts that outline the expectations for the work the creator/influencer will carry out. It is also recommended to seek legal advice when drafting any type of contract. -Victoria, Shopify Support.

Absolutely terrible experience. Creators just take free gifts and ghost. Shopify Collabs is a way for random people (not actual collaborators or influencers) to take free product from you. Not a way to make money, a way to lose money. Also, there is no expectation set by Shopify Collabs for these "creators". But of course there is an expectation to the business to provide something, whether free or a discount. Very disappointing. You are better off connecting with people yourself on social media platforms.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I understand it must be difficult when creators don't uphold their part of your agreement. While Shopify provides the platform to facilitate the connection between merchants and creators, we don't have the authority to enforce these agreements. For this reason some merchants choose to seek legal counsel and create contracts that both parties can sign. This might be helpful to consider if you choose to continue using Shopify Collabs. For more information please refer to the Shopify Collabs Terms of Service: https://shopify.link/NGAG. -Erin, Shopify Support

Zero app localization for Japanese. Reached out multiple times to support but they never update the interface to include Japanese.
Hi, there. Thank you for taking the time to leave this review! It's great to hear you're interested in using Shopify Collabs and I'm happy to pass on your feedback. -Erin, Shopify Support

This app allows the creator to get free item/s upfront and then the creator not fulfilling their task of promoting the item on their socials. Then Ghosting the store, totally rude shameless & actual theft.! Not fair at all if you are a small struggling business. There should be some kind of verification process for the creator to pass or a rating that stores can assign based on the experience with the creator, those creators with low review ratings wont get used
We appreciate your feedback! I understand the discouragement that can emerge if a creator doesn't meet their obligations in an agreement. To tackle this, certain merchants choose to draft contracts that both parties can agree to. While Shopify serves as the platform linking merchants and creators, we are unable to enforce these agreements. If you encounter unmet collaborator tasks, it could be helpful to consult legal counsel. For additional details, please refer to the Shopify Collabs Terms of Service at: https://shopify.link/NGAG. -Iris, Shopify Support

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.
Thank you for sharing your feedback! I understand that it must be disappointing when a creator hasn't upheld their end of an agreement. For this reason, some merchants choose to create contracts that both parties can sign. Shopify provides the platform to facilitate the connection between merchants and creators, but we do not have the authority to enforce agreements. You may wish to seek legal counsel regarding any unfulfilled collaborator tasks. Please review the Shopify Collabs Terms of Service for details: https://shopify.link/NGAG. -Sophia, Shopify Support

This app is a waste of time.

Dieses App dürfen nur die Shops verwenden, die eine Kooperation gar nicht mehr brauchen, weil sie schon bekannt und erfolgreich genug sind. Die Start-Ups, die am Meisten Unterstützung zu Beginn benötigen, dürfen es nicht verwenden. Eine Diskriminierung, daher Daumen runter

Péssimo, agora que o pagamento é feito pelo Paypal, não funciona no Brasil.

Please note: do not install this app, we did not like the app. So removed, major problems with our shop since the removal of this app. The product photos and backend are no longer shown, just like the blog no longer has photos. It's not even worth 1 star!
Hi Chique Design, thank you for the review and your feedback. We have been experiencing a platform issue regarding images on the store front not being visible and our technical team is actively working on a resolution for this. The issue with your images is separate from the collabs app. We'd love to hear more about why the collabs app did not work for your business. -Shay, Shopify Support
