Influencer marketing for local brands
Influencer marketing for online and direct-to-consumer brands
No storefront needed. Creators across the US try your product and post, and cash offers are paid only once the content is live.
Published
Ecommerce influencer marketing on Storytime needs no store or venue. Your campaign sits in the delivery section of the creator app, where creators anywhere in the US, or only in the areas you choose, claim a promo code, a unique code, a gift card, a link or a cash offer, try your product and post an Instagram Story, Reel or feed post. If you want product sent out, a Storytime workflow can call your Shopify store or other fulfillment system to create each creator's order. Storytime checks every post, and cash is paid only once the content is live.
How influencer marketing for ecommerce works on Storytime
Ship it or skip shipping
With fulfillment automated, a creator order goes out the way customer orders do and sits in the order data you already use. If you would rather not ship at all, creators redeem a code or gift card in your store and order the product themselves, and a unique code shows which creator placed each order.
Codes you control
Use one promo code for everyone, or upload a pool of single-use codes or gift cards with PINs. Each code is reserved for one creator and logged, so you can see who received which code and match it to orders in your own store.
Rewarded when the post is live
Fund cash offers from your Storytime wallet. Money goes to a creator only after the required Story, Reel or feed post is detected and checked. UGC video and TikTok posts are available too, and expired Stories stay saved for you.
Creators matched to your markets
Creators connect Instagram through Meta's official API, so Storytime knows where each creator's followers live. Its algorithms score and tier every creator, so a US-wide campaign can favor creators whose audiences live in the cities where you sell most.
Frequently asked questions
How does an ecommerce influencer campaign work without a store?
Your campaign lives in the delivery section of the Storytime app instead of on the map, with no address or GPS check-in. A creator claims it, gets your product through a code, gift card, link or an order your fulfillment system creates, tries it at home and posts. Storytime checks the post, and any cash is paid once it is live.
How do I track sales from influencer posts?
Through your own checkout. Give each creator a unique code from a code pool and count redemptions in your store's order data; the dashboard's ROI calculator models return from your revenue and cost figures. Storytime does not track affiliate sales or commissions. It shows posts, impressions and followers reached per collab, with a CSV export.
Can Storytime send product to creators?
Yes, through your own fulfillment. A Storytime workflow can send a request to your Shopify store or other fulfillment system to create the creator's order, so it ships the way customer orders do. If you prefer, creators redeem a promo code, unique code or gift card in your online store and order the product themselves.
Which creators can join an online campaign?
Creators anywhere in the US, or only those in an area you pick. Storytime has 50K+ creators and tiers each one on Instagram data: where their followers live, reach and post performance. Collabs start at $10 per influencer; creator size and post type can change the price, and the pricing page has details.
Why in-person beats paid ads: Nielsen’s consumer-trust research has long shown people trust recommendations from real people over brand advertising.
