Letting creators sell your products should feel like hiring a commission-only salesperson — with an off switch. If anyone can attach to your brand, you have a marketing problem and a trust problem.

Approval checklist

  1. Does their audience match your products and price?
  2. Any past drama, fake giveaways, or chargeback-looking behavior?
  3. What commission % is sustainable after returns?
  4. Do you still have plan capacity for another linked creator?
  5. Is your catalog ready (photos, prices, stock) so they do not improvise?

In Cartpo

  • Open Creator Partnership / Creator Management.
  • Review Pending requests — accept or reject.
  • Set default commission and per-creator overrides as needed.
  • Watch Active partners’ sales stats.
  • Unlink when brand risk or performance fails your bar.

Keep control of the narrative

  • You own pricing in the catalog — creators should not invent discounts you never approved.
  • Discount QR / customer offers stay under merchant rules.
  • Sell on iHolda visibility is your toggle — creators are a channel, not owners of the shop.
Shop visibility remains a merchant control — not a creator setting.
