📋 Available on: Startup, Growth, Enterprise, Agency, Custom, and legacy Pro/Advanced/Enterprise plans. Not available on Starter or Free plans

Overview

Gifting Campaigns helps you run influencer product seeding end-to-end—without spreadsheets or manual order creation.

With Gifting Campaigns, you can:

  • Collect creator shipping details automatically

  • Create Shopify orders for gifted products

  • Track shipment status in real time

  • Automatically capture UGC once products are delivered

This feature is currently available to a limited set of customers as part of an early access rollout.


What You Can Do with Gifting Campaigns

Gifting Campaigns streamlines the entire gifting workflow:

  1. Add creators to a campaign

  2. Collect shipping information

  3. Send products via Shopify

  4. Track delivery

  5. Automatically capture creator content

Once a product is delivered, Archive begins monitoring for relevant content—no manual follow-up required.


How It Works

1. Create a Gifting Campaign

Navigate to the Campaigns section in Archive and create a new Gifting Campaign.


2. Add Creators to Your Campaign

You can add creators in two ways:

Option A: Import Creators via CSV

  • Click Import Creators inside your campaign

  • Upload a CSV containing creator social handles (required)

  • Shipping addresses can be included in any format (single column or multiple columns)

  • No template required—Archive automatically detects columns

  • Creators are added progressively for larger imports

Tips:

  • Social handle or profile URL is required

  • You can re-upload a CSV to update creator information

  • Large imports may be loaded in batches


Option B: Use the Creator Opt-In Chat

  • Open the Gifting Assistant link in your campaign

  • Share the link with creators via DM, email, or any channel

  • Creators chat with an AI assistant to:

    • View the product

    • Submit their shipping address

Once submitted, creators are instantly added to your campaign.


3. Automatic Shopify Order Creation

When a creator is added with a valid address:

  • Archive automatically creates a $0 order in Shopify

  • Orders are linked directly to your campaign

  • Shipping status updates sync automatically

Shopify Requirements

To use Gifting Campaigns, your Shopify store must have:

  • An active Shopify storefront

  • Products with SKUs

  • Shipping zones properly configured

  • Order notifications enabled


4. Track Shipping Status

Inside your campaign, you can see:

  • Order creation status

  • Shipment progress

  • Delivery confirmation

All updates sync automatically from Shopify.


5. Automatic UGC Capture

Once a product is delivered:

  • Archive begins monitoring for creator content

  • Tagged content is automatically captured

  • UGC appears in your Archive feed and campaign reporting


Current Limitations

During early access, the following limitations apply:

  • 🛍️ Shopify stores only (no standalone stores)

  • ⚙️ Campaign activation may require assistance from the Archive team

These limitations will be addressed in future releases.


Who Is This Feature For?

Gifting Campaigns is ideal for brands that:

  • Run regular influencer gifting programs

  • Work with 10+ creators per month

  • Use Shopify for fulfillment

  • Want to reduce manual coordination and tracking


What’s Coming Next

Planned improvements include:

  • Multi-SKU gifting within a single campaign

  • Detection of non-tagged gifted content

  • Creator product selection within set budgets

  • Conversational campaign creation
