# Seed

> Seed is a Shopify app for brands that gift free products to creators and influencers. Instead of copying shipping addresses out of DMs, a brand sends one link. The creator picks the products they want from a chooser the brand controls, fills in their address, and the result is a real Shopify draft order in the brand's admin, tagged and ready to ship. This file indexes our best pages for AI agents and answer engines. Append `.md` to any blog URL below for a clean markdown copy with no nav or chrome. See /llms-full.txt for the full text of our priority comparison, pricing, and case-study pages in one file.

## What it does

- Turns creator gifting into a link the brand can paste into any DM or email.
- Lets the creator pick from a curated product list set by the brand.
- Creates a real Shopify draft order with the creator's address, tags, and notes — so existing fulfillment, 3PL, and email automations just work.
- Keeps a CRM-style record of every creator the brand has gifted.
- Supports per-campaign branding so the form looks like the brand, not Seed.
- Optional post-submission step that asks the creator to share their handle and a link to the content they post.

## How it works

1. The brand installs Seed from the Shopify App Store and connects the store.
2. The brand creates a campaign, picks which products creators can choose from, and gets a link.
3. The brand sends that link to a creator. The creator picks products and submits their address.
4. A Shopify draft order appears in the admin, tagged with the campaign, ready to fulfill.

## Pricing

Seed is free for a limited time. During launch, every feature — unlimited gift orders, unlimited campaigns, custom branding, and the creator CRM — is available at no cost, with no order caps or campaign limits. See /pricing for current plans.

## Who it's for

Shopify brands that gift products to creators, influencers, UGC partners, podcast hosts, or affiliate partners and want the address collection and draft order creation to take a few seconds instead of half an hour.
