There is a monthly subscription cost associated with your plan, as well as a price per video (PPV) cost which helps cover things like content reviews, SMS notifications, and transactional fees. You'll also set up a budget when signing up for Bounty which is the amount you're willing to spend on UGC for the month. The budget can be as low as $1,000 USD or as high as $100,000 USD, and you'll only ever be billed for what you spend in a month. Bounty bills through Shopify on your normal Shopify billing cadence.
You can sign up for Bounty at bounty.co/brands right now! Once you confirm your subscription, you can enable all user experiences from your Bounty account dashboard. You have access to Bounty's FAQ knowledge-base, as well as a Support team who'd love to help! Once setup is done, there is typically a 10-14 day adoption period while your customers wait to receive their orders before they can start posting. In order to help you make the most of your budget, we offset this time by offering a free trial of our platform.
We currently only offer services to shoppers and creators in the US and Canada, but we hope to see this change soon. If you have a large customer base in the US and/or Canada, feel free to sign up!
You can also choose to show Bounty user experiences on your website only in certain countries, however Bounty will only work for creators based in the United States and Canada.
Yes! We now support Instagram Reels, too.
Bounty does not currently track ROAS within the brand dashboard.
At this time, the best approach is to look at engagement of a post and then run as an ad to see provided metrics. For example, running TikTok content as a Spark Ad in a Video Shopping Ad, and then tracking the Initiate Checkout (Onsite) metric within your TikTok Ads Manager account.
The metrics you have access to in Bounty are focused on the following:
The homepage on your brand dashboard shows a count of new assets and new creators. You're able to adjust the date range considered using the drop-down menu in the upper right-hand corner.
New Assets is the number of approved videos created during a given date range. After creators accept a Bounty and post a video, our internal review team will use automated and manual methods to check for adherence to content guidelines. If a creator's post follows all of the rules, we'll approve it, and it will be counted as a "new asset".
New Creators is the number of users who signed up for Bounty through your store, completed and order, and finished setting up their Bounty creator account. These are users who are ready to post content as soon as their order arrives.
For each piece of approved content, we'll show related platform and payout metrics.
We track views, likes, comments, and shares for the first 48 hours after a post goes live. These metrics are displayed around the embedded video player.
Below the post description, you'll find the creator payout amount, post date, clickable order number, and order total. If you click on the order number, you'll be brought to the order details within Shopify.
If you send out gift offers to creators through Invites, you can monitor conversion rate and volume of offers sent.
After clicking onto a gift item and selecting the 'History' tab, you'll see the following metrics:
More information, including detailed steps on viewing the results of gifts, is available.
In the creators section of the app you have access to all of the creators who have ever signed up to your store, as well as select network creators who are unassociated to any specific store.
Asking a creator to do a bounty if they already have a product.
This is the ideal case, where you know a creator has already bought a product from your store and can simply send them a message to do another Bounty for you with a minimum payment (for example $20). Learn about types of gifts here.
When you select a creator from the creator table you are presented with a sidebar menu that shows their previous activity (videos created, Bounties done) and a button you can use to offer a creator a gift (A Bounty with a minimum payout OR a free product).
In the products tab you can see if the creator already owns any of your products (either they bought them or you previously gifted them product):
Offering the creator a gift is a simple as selecting the type of gift you want to send them and hitting send:
Offering a network creator a gift.
Because a network creator will not already have your products you cannot offer them a Bounty type gift, you can only offer network creators product type gifts.
They will be sent a message allowing them to accept the gift you configured and sent. They will be prompted to fill out their address, select the product variant, and if they complete the process an unfulfilled zero cost order will created in your Shopify store. The creator will be granted a bounty to do which unlocks upon delivery.
Once they have accepted the gift they will show up in your main creator table and you can offer them regular Bounty type gifts (e.g. make a video for a minimum payment of $30), and see the history of interactions with your store.
The gifting form for creator network can be seen here:
Does Bounty give influencers discount codes like Shopify Collabs?
We don't have any specific discount code features in Bounty today.
You can pair Shopify Collabs to manage discount code commissions and Bounty to power UGC automation and management. As long as the order itself is placed through Shopify, the creator will be able to post content through Bounty.
See a piece of TikTok content that you'd like to run as an ad on Instagram or Facebook?
You can instantly download the video for free from your content library right next to the “Request Spark Code” button. This way you can test and repurpose as much content as you’d like across as many platforms as you’d like with zero risk.
