Everflow

  • Pricing is by quote only: the pricing page publishes no rate, no tier and no included volume, and requires submitting a form
  • Plans require a 6 month minimum commitment

Shopify Collabs

  • A 2.9% processing fee is applied to every automatic commission payment and charged to the merchant's Shopify bill

  • Commissions are handled in USD and merchants billed in another currency pay local conversion fees
  • Creators who do not submit a W9 have their annual payouts capped at $599.99 USD
  • Collabs is not accepting new creator signups, so brands can only work with creators already on the platform or invited directly
