Common questions

How do I get creators to make UGC videos for my products?

Mark your products for UGC promotion so creators can find them and earn commission. On Pludor, open UGC Promoted Products in the Content & Creator menu, select products, and set the commission creators earn per attributed sale. You can also use Hire a Creator to request a specific video directly.

How does affiliate commission tracking work for creator videos?

Commission is paid only on attributed, completed sales, so you need a system that links each creator's content to the orders it drives. Pludor handles this with the Growth Engine affiliate ledger: creators pin your product in their Flika videos, and attributed sales and commissions are tracked automatically. Sellers set the commission; the default is 30% of attributed sales.

Is it free for creators to join an affiliate or UGC program?

On Pludor, yes - it's free for creators to join, with no inventory or upfront cost. Creators pick products marked for UGC promotion, post Flika videos with the product pinned, and earn commission on attributed sales. Sellers only pay when a completed sale is actually attributed.

What's the difference between hiring a creator and running an affiliate program?

Hiring a creator means paying for a specific video upfront; an affiliate program means creators promote your product and earn a percentage only when they drive sales. Pludor supports both: Hire a Creator for one-off video requests, and UGC Promoted Products with a set commission for ongoing affiliate promotion.

How much should I pay creators in commission for UGC videos?

There's no single right number, but a common approach is a percentage of each sale the creator drives. Pludor's default affiliate commission is 30% of attributed sales, paid only on completed orders - you can adjust it per product. Paying only on attributed sales keeps your upfront risk low.

How do I find products to promote as a creator without buying inventory?

Look for sellers who mark products for affiliate or UGC promotion, then post content with those products linked so sales are attributed to you. On Pludor, creators can browse UGC Promoted Products, pin the product in a Flika short video, and earn commission on attributed sales - no inventory needed. The Creator Hub (under Monetize) shows clicks, sales and payouts in one dashboard.

How do I make a shoppable video where viewers can tap to buy?

Upload a short vertical (9:16) video showing the product in use, then pin the product so viewers can tap through to buy. On Pludor, open Flika Studio, upload your clip, search and pin the product, add a caption and publish - it appears in the Flika feed and on your channel. You can track views, taps and attributed sales from Flika Studio.

How do I come up with ideas for my next UGC video?

Start with a strong hook in the first few seconds - name your product and audience, then test different openers to see what performs. Pludor has a free Viral Hook Generator that gives you hooks plus how to film each one; it's free to try with a limited number of runs per hour and no account needed.

How do I track whether a creator's video actually drove sales?

You need attribution built into the checkout so each sale is linked to the creator's content. Pludor's affiliate attribution ledger does this automatically: when a creator pins your product in a Flika video, attributed sales and the commission owed appear in your dashboard. Commission is only paid on completed orders.

What's the best way to combine promo codes with creator promotions?

Give each campaign its own code so you can see which creator or channel drives sales. On Pludor, create a promo code under Promotions in the Growth & AI menu, set the discount and expiry, and share it in creator posts, Flika videos or live streams. Pairing codes with pinned-product videos gives you both code redemptions and attribution data.
