Co-branded Storefronts

Turn your Shopify store into a personalized shopping experience for every creator, influencer, and affiliate in your program.

What Are Co-branded Storefronts?

A co-branded storefront is a personalized shopping experience on your existing Shopify store that dynamically adapts based on which creator referred the shopper. Instead of sending affiliate traffic to a generic product page, every click leads to a page that feels like it was built just for that creator and their audience.

Creator shares link → Shopper clicks → Lands on personalized page → Shops with context

What can change per creator:

• Hero sections with their name, photo, and bio
• Their curated product picks (drops)
• Personalized quotes, notes, and media
• Their exclusive discount code
• Brand colors or accent adjustments
• Any code-level component on the store

What stays the same:

• Your Shopify theme and infrastructure
• Your checkout, fulfillment, and operations
• Your product catalog and pricing logic
• Your analytics and order management

How It Works

CreatorCommerce uses three Shopify-native building blocks:

Metaobjects

Creator data (name, bio, products, media) stored as Shopify metaobjects — accessible in Liquid like any other Shopify data

Cart Attributes

The CC SDK writes cc-creator-handle to the cart when a shopper arrives via an affiliate link — this attribute persists through checkout

Templates

Shopify metaobject page templates serve as creator landing pages; theme sections personalize any other page using the cart attribute

Two Approaches

App Blocks (No Code)

Use pre-built CreatorCommerce app blocks in the Shopify theme editor:

• Drag and drop creator hero, product grid, quote badge, and discount banners
• Configure via the visual editor
• No developer required for basic setups
• Good for getting started quickly

Best for: Teams without dev resources, quick launches, testing layouts

Custom Theme Sections (Code)

Build custom Liquid sections that read directly from the creator metaobject:

• Full control over layout and design
• Access to all creator data fields including custom fields
• Conditional rendering based on creator presence
• Full-funnel personalization across every page

Best for: Brands that want pixel-perfect control, complex layouts, full-funnel personalization
