What is COOUP?
COOUP connects Shopify merchants with creators who discover and share products. Eligible creator-driven sales can be attributed so creators earn commission and merchants can measure that activity.
Who is COOUP for?
COOUP is for Shopify merchants that want creator-led distribution and for creators who want to recommend suitable products and earn from eligible attributed sales.
How does COOUP make money?
Merchants approve a Shopify app plan. On eligible creator-driven sales, COOUP also receives a service share from the commission funded by the merchant. Current commercial terms are shown before acceptance and in the Terms.
Is COOUP free for creators?
Yes. Creators do not pay a subscription or listing fee. Eligibility, attribution, refunds, payout setup, and the Terms still apply.
How are creators paid?
Eligible creator earnings are paid through Stripe after payout setup, verification, and the settlement period. Signed-in creators can see account-specific status in Creator Help and Earnings.
What do merchants pay?
Merchants pay the Shopify app plan they approve and fund the commission they choose on eligible creator-attributed sales. Pricing and material terms are available before registration.
How does attribution work?
A creator shares a COOUP link containing a first-party reference. If an eligible paid order is connected to that reference, COOUP can credit the creator. COOUP does not count unrelated store orders as creator-attributed sales.
What happens when an order is refunded?
An eligible refund can reduce or reverse the related creator commission. Signed-in merchants and creators can see the applicable order or earnings status in their accounts.
What products work well on COOUP?
Clear, visually strong products with accurate prices, simple choices, reliable fulfilment, and a meaningful creator commission are usually easiest to recommend.
Which regions are supported?
Availability depends on the merchant's Shopify markets, shipping, product eligibility, and supported payout services. COOUP shows the relevant regional status during sign-up and inside each account.
How can I contact Support?
