Exclusive collaborations

AI Summary

Exclusive Collabs is an invite-only TikTok Shop creator program offering higher commissions, possible cash bonuses, added exposure, and for some eligible creators 100% sample approval on select products while quota lasts. Invited creators can join via Creator Center, inbox, PDP, marketplace, or email, pick products, request samples, and post shoppable videos or LIVE content to hit campaign GMV/view goals. Missing promotion after receiving samples can hurt your sample score, and each campaign’s timing and bonus targets vary.

How It Works

    • Opportunities Cards
    • Inbox
    • Collab Invites tab in Creator Center
    • Product Details Page (PDP)
    • Product Marketplace
    • Email
  2. Claim to get a sample coupon (limited, first come-first serve) that buys the product without waiting for seller approval, plus stand a very high chance of getting sample approved
  3. New: Look for “100% approval” (eligible creators only): For some products, eligible creators may see an indicator that their sample request will be 100% approved (when quota is available).
    • If you don’t see this, you can still request samples through the standard flow.
  4. Join the cash reward: Click on the "cash reward" banner on the Exclusive Collaboration landing page, and click to join Leaderboard, and Creator Task.
  5. Join and request samples: Click into the activity to see the handpicked product list. Choose at least 5 products to bring to life and submit your sample requests.
  6. Create & Post: Promote your chosen products in short-form videos. To grab the rewards, your posts just need to hit the GMV and video view goals.
  7. Check Your Reward: Once you hit your goals, go to the leaderboard detail page or creator tasks detail page to check the cash rewards.
