Creator Pilot terms
First purchase.
Clear terms.
- 01
5% for a new customer's first purchase.
Commission applies across all products on an eligible first purchase referred through Shopify Collabs. A new customer has not previously purchased from Sozu Model Cars, as determined by Shopify Collabs records.
- 02
0% for existing and returning customers.
Second and later purchases do not earn commission, even if a customer returns through a creator link. Existing customers are not eligible for first-purchase commission.
- 03
Our repeat-customer cards continue.
Our existing 5% repeat-customer discount cards remain a separate store promotion under their own terms. They do not generate affiliate commission on repeat orders. No creator-specific customer discount is offered.
- 04
Tracked referrals. Approved partnerships.
The link attribution window is 90 days. Customer status and referral attribution follow Shopify Collabs records. Applying does not create a partnership: our approval and an accepted offer are required. Acceptance, earnings, samples and paid placements are not guaranteed.
