Overview

Aspire’s CreatorStores™ are co-branded, micro shopping experiences fully hosted on your Shopify site to maximize conversions and first-party data capture. Give creators the freedom to curate their favorite products that resonate with their audience and bring it to life with lifestyle content that shows your products in action. These landing pages create an exclusive, bespoke experience for both creators and shoppers.

Prerequisite: Install the Aspire Affiliates App

You must first install the Aspire Affiliates app in Shopify. Expand this section for instructions on installing the app.

Log into your Shopify account.
Go to the Aspire Affiliates app in the Shopify App Store.
Click Install.
Click Enable CreatorStores.
You’ll be redirected to your Shopify store theme settings. Under App Embeds, confirm that Aspire CreatorStores is toggled on.

We also recommend enabling SecureCodes by toggling on Aspire SecureCodes.
Click Save in the top-right corner.

Setting Up Your Offer

Step 1: Create a Promo Code Offer

Once the app is installed, go to Reporting > Sales Tracking, then click Add Offer and select Promo Code Offer.

❓Why a Promo Code offer and not a Link Offer?

CreatorsStores are built on top of Aspire's Discount Link functionality. A discount link is an affiliate link that auto-applies a promo code at checkout, similar to Shopify's shareable promo code links.

Step 2: Enable CreatorStores™

Within the offer settings, toggle on the option to “Generate Discount Links”, then enable CreatorStores.

Affiliates will receive a unique link to direct their audience to their CreatorStore. Referred customers get a discount on their favorite creators’ product recommendations.

Customize your CreatorStores™

To change the default design and settings for your CreatorStores, click Customize.

Configure basic settings

Add a catchy title and short description.
Add a featured product to the landing page by toggling on the option under Featured Product Discount, then clicking “Select Product”. You can search by Tag, Vendor, or Product type. Simply type in a value, hit enter, then click Find Products. Select from the list of products shown and click Save.

Customize the Discount Offer Button by adding your call to action. Use the discount variable {{Offer Discount}} to automatically show the discount amount associated with this promo code offer.

For example: Get {{Offer Discount}}% off → Get 15% Off

Toggle on the Creator’s Tag setting to add a short blurb for the featured product. Choose how you want the creator's name to be displayed by selecting either the {{Creator's First Name}} or the {{Creator's Full Name}} variables

For example: Loved by {{Creator's First Name}} → Loved by John

Customize colors and fonts

Customize the typography of the page by selecting the paint pallet icon. Choose the font, font size, and color for the headings and body text.

This tab also provides extensive styling options for interactive elements like buttons and product cards, as well as page backgrounds.

Add featured content

Add featured content that best depicts your brand’s voice and visuals. Toggle on Enable Featured Content, select “Add Content”, choose the content type (image or video), then enter the URL.

You can also allow creators to choose the content they want to feature on their page. Click the Settings drop-down, then check the box "Allow Creators to upload content". Set the maximum number of content pieces that the creator can upload themselves.

💡 You can only feature a total of 6 pieces of content. This means if you've uploaded 4 pieces of content, creators can then add 2 more if the setting to allow creators to upload content is enabled.

Select featured products

Showcase specific products that you want the creator’s audience to see on their CreatorStores page.

To highlight a product, navigate to the Featured Product settings. Turn on the "Show Featured Product" toggle, then click "Select Product" and search by tag, vendor, or product type to add it.

💡 The "Featured Product" and "Hero Featured Product Discount" settings are connected. Changing one will automatically update the other.

Add a Featured Product Heading. You can use the {{Creator's Name}} variable to automatically populate the creator's name.

To add products to your CreatorStore, go to Manage All Products. Click "Add Products" and search by tag, vendor, or product type to add the desired products. You can add up to 12 products.

Under Product Card, you can turn on the option to show product prices.

Update the heading for the Product section by clicking Settings, then editing the text beneath Section Heading.

Give creators the freedom to curate their favorite products that resonate with their audience. Check the box "Allow creators to add products", then set the maximum number of products that creators can add.

Preview Page, then Save & Publish

To preview your CreatorStore, click the eye icon. This will open a new tab with the CreatorStore page you've created.

Once everything looks good, click Save & Publish in the upper-right corner.
