Frequently asked questions

The most common questions about GiftLink - answered compactly.

What exactly does GiftLink do?

GiftLink creates gift links for influencer cooperations. Creators open the link, pick their own products and enter their shipping address - GiftLink turns that into an automatic order at EUR 0.00 in your shop that runs through your fulfilment like any other order.

Do I have to create the EUR 0.00 orders myself?

No. The order is created automatically via the Shopify Admin API, marked as paid and tagged “giftlink”. Manual draft orders and copying addresses out of DMs are gone.

Can I approve redemptions before the order is created?

Yes. You can enable an approval queue per gift link: the order is only created once you approve the redemption. Open requests are rejected automatically after 30 days - the temporarily stored shipping address is deleted in the process.

What data do creators enter in the form?

Name and email address are required; social profiles (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube) are disabled, optional or required depending on the link settings. The shipping address flows directly into the Shopify order and is not stored permanently in the app database. The form works without cookies.

How does discount code attribution work?

Optionally, every creator receives a personal follower discount code (derived from their name, valid for 90 days). GiftLink matches orders using this code to the creator - deliberately without end-customer data: only order number, amount and timestamp are stored.

Does GiftLink handle the tax assessment of the gifts?

No. GiftLink documents the merchandise value of every gift as a documentation aid (e.g. for your accounting or flat-rate taxation under § 37b EStG). The tax treatment remains a matter for you and your tax advisor.

Does GiftLink make my influencer posts legally compliant?

No. GiftLink is a technical tool for the workflow. Advertising labelling of induced posts, usage rights to creator content and your legal texts remain your responsibility - with legal advice where in doubt.

How do I install GiftLink?

GiftLink is available in the Shopify App Store. After installing, you create a gift link, pick the product variants you want to release and share the link with your creator via DM, email or QR code - the redemption then lands in the approval queue or goes straight through as an order in your regular fulfilment.

Legal noteGiftLink is a technical and organisational tool for influencer gifting and does not replace legal or tax advice. Advertising labelling of induced publications, usage rights to creator content and the tax treatment of benefits in kind (e.g. § 37b EStG) are the merchant's responsibility; the app merely documents the merchandise value. Where in doubt, have cooperation and legal texts reviewed by a lawyer or tax advisor.
