Setting Up a Shopify Checkout URL for Creator Product Selection in a Campaign
Note: If you joined GRIN on January 23, 2023, or later, Campaigns will not be available for your account and have been replaced by Activations. You can use Activations to manage and organize your creator marketing programs.
For more information, check out our help articles.
Before your creators can select products from your store, you must have an integrated Shopify store. Also, the products that are available to be chosen on your Ecommerce store will need to be imported into your brand to create orders within GRIN.
Use the following guide to learn how to set up a checkout URL for creator product selections. This allows your creators to directly select products from your website by pasting the checkout URL in the product selection section of their Live Site.
Note: The option to use URLs for product selection is unavailable if you joined GRIN after August 22, 2023 or for any Campaigns created after August 22, 2023. We recommend creating an Activation instead to allow creators to select products with URLs.
What You'll Need
A new or existing Campaign.
An integrated Ecommerce store with your brand.
