Influencer Order Tip:

I might be slow but I figured this out after over a year. To easily send and track products for influencers:
1) Create a draft order.
2) Add products
3) Discount it 100%
4) Collect payment, mark as paid, create order

Benefits:
-you can easily print labels and track inventory
-don’t have to pay back any wayflyer or similar loans as you would if you sent gift cards

Downside:
-lowers your AOV temporarily

Anyone have a better system?

This app is a good way to handle it super easily https://apps.shopify.com/creator-gift-link

How much does it cost per year?

Henry Johnson August 26, 2025 at 03:45 AM

Idk that exactly. It’s not my app just an app I know about. I believe it’s based on order volume

I prefer free, especially now that chat gpt can walk you through liquid coding

@Anthony Guynes you should try building it yourself with Claude Code or Base44. Unlikely that SaaS providers would build and share it for free (maintenance has its costs).

@Yash Chavan <@U083T1JDJH4> any insights on this?

Yep this whole exact workflow is a small feature in SARAL as brands use it to scale seeding program volume, but don’t know of anyone who does just this. I know Kynship used to have a seeding app on the appstore that does something similar.
