How to Send Free Products to Influencers on Shopify (Without the DMs)

Hey guys, my name is Neil. I used to help my friend with his brand and we would DM creators on TikTok and Instagram to offer free products. It was a mess.

We’d say, “Hey I love your content, it aligns with our brand,” and then the back-and-forth would start:

• “What’s your size?”

• “What’s your shipping address?”

• Manually typing all that into Shopify

Things got lost, orders were mistagged, and it wasn’t scalable. So I built a tool to fix it.

The Problem: Manual Influencer Gifting is Broken

• Copy-pasting addresses into Shopify
• No order tagging if a teammate helped
• No consistent system to scale outreach
• No way to track gifting performance over time

The Fix: Influencer Gift Form for Shopify

I built a Shopify app called Influencer Gift Form to simplify this.

Now, instead of the endless back-and-forth, you just send a link. The creator opens it, sees your brand’s gift form, enters their info, picks a product, and it creates a $0 order inside Shopify. Automatically.

They think it’s just a secure, branded checkout. You get:

• Their name

• Shipping info

• Product selection

• A clean draft order in Shopify

Demo: How It Works

Once you're in the Shopify back office, open the app and customize your form:

• Branding, colors, logos, and text

• Limit how many products they can select

• Control how much value goes into their cart

• Restrict to one use per link (or allow more)

• Tag the order or customer automatically

• Use custom discount codes or draft-only orders

You can even:

• Create forms for different groups (UGC creators, ambassadors, employees, agencies)

• Collect content usage consent

• Customize confirmation emails and success pages

• Set language preferences and shipping rules

Bonus: Built-in Influencer CRM

Every influencer you gift gets logged.

• See who you’ve gifted

• How much product they’ve received

• Regift them during launches (e.g. spring collection)

It’s like a lightweight CRM for influencer seeding.

Plus, your dashboard shows:

• Total gifting value per form

• Recent orders

• Creator performance snapshots

Why Brands Love It

It’s simple. It solves one real problem really well: sending free products to influencers without the chaos.
