Shopify is connecting content creators with businesses who run their websites on its platform through Shopify Collabs.
👉 Background: Shopify is the e-commerce platform that helps people and businesses create online stores. This crew recently let go of 10% of its staff… And shortly after they made a strategic investment in Klaviyo, the email automation platform.
👉 What happened: Now Shopify's at it again. The company just launched a new platform called Shopify Collabs. It's designed to connect content creators with businesses who run their website on Shopify.
👉 What else: Basically, creators on the Shopify Collabs platform can partner with Shopify merchants and the whole thing from discovery to payment.
💡Content creators have become brands in their own right… and platforms are looking for more ways to unlock value for both creators and businesses (and themselves). TikTok has launched its Creator Marketplace and now Shopify has Collabs.
💡But the Shopify Collabs tool allows creators to have more skin in the game because they can negotiate a percentage of sales - all via the platform.
💡And with more than 200 million content creators in the global market these days, Shopify could be onto something here.
