Trade what you make for content that grows you
Stop paying creator agencies cash you can't afford. Post a collab, set the store-credit value, and get matched with creators who genuinely want what you sell.
Why brands love it
Built for small businesses that need content but don't have a marketing budget.
Pay in credits, never cash
Compensate creators with store credits redeemable in-store or online. You give what you already make — they get what they actually want.
Browse vetted creators
Filter by category, follower count, rating, and platform. Every creator has a public profile with portfolio links and past collabs.
One inbox for every collab
Negotiate, lock in deal terms, and track deliverables in a single thread per creator. No spreadsheets, no email chains.
Unlimited listings
Post as many open collabs as you want. Pause or close any listing in one tap.
Both sides confirm
Creators submit deliverable links when they're done. You review and approve in-thread — only then is the collab marked complete.
Public reviews
Rate every creator after a finished collab. Your reviews show on their profile so future brands can pick the best.
How it works
- 1
Post a listing
Describe the collab — what kind of content you want, the credit value you're offering, the deliverables, and where (on-site or shipped). Add photos so creators can imagine the brief.
- 2
Match and chat
Creators reach out via the listing. Negotiate the terms in a single conversation thread, then send a structured deal proposal that locks credits, deliverables, platforms, and the date to completion.
- 3
Both sides confirm
Once the creator accepts, the collab is locked in. Slots and your monthly counter update automatically.
- 4
Review the work
When the creator finishes, they submit deliverable links + notes via a card in your chat. Open it, click through to verify the posts, and approve to mark the collab complete.
- 5
Leave a review
Rate the creator publicly. Their average rating shows on their profile so other brands can find the best.
