FAQ

  1. Can I switch from Open Collaboration to Target Collaboration and vice-versa?

Creator A is invited to promote the product using Targeted Collaboration and commission displayed to Creator A will be 15%. After successfully generating sales for the product, creator A will receive 15% commission.
      • Example #2: Product A has Open Collaboration commission of 10% and Shop Collaborationcommission of 5%. Commission displayed to Creator will be 10%. Creators who successfully generate sales for the product will receive 10% commission.
