This article will guide you on how to authorize Sellers to use your Short Videos for their Video Shopping Ads. Authorizing your short videos to be used in ads is a great way to increase your content's reach and gain more commission with boosted support!
To get you started, we will go over how to authorize your videos for Ads and what's the difference between Standard Commission Rate and Shop Ads Commission Rate.

Authorizing your Videos for Ads

Allowing Sellers to use your videos for their ads can help your videos grow tremendously. The boost coming from more views can provide you with extra commission. This option can be turned on in two pathways: Creator Center and Product Detail Page. We will guide you step-by-step on how to access the authorization in both cases.

Product Detail Page Access

On any products that can be used for Affiliate promotion, you can check the product's earnings sources and see the commission rates set by the seller for standard promotion and using Shop Ads. On any Product Detail Page, you also have the option to turn the authorization on or off.
Note: If the Seller did not set a separate commission rate for Shop Ads use, the Creator will only see the standard commission rate.
If the Swipe-Up preview highlights multiple earning sources, it means that the product has a different commission rate set by the Seller:

Standard Commission Rate vs Shop Ads Commission Rate

Sellers are allowed to set three types of Commission rate: (1) the Standard commission rate for organic/non-ads content, (2) Shop Ads Commission Rate for products added in Product Marketplace and (3) Shop Ads Commission Rate for Collab Invite products.
To learn more about how each commission rate will be received by a Creator, check out our table below:
If a creator generates an order from ads-boosted traffic for a product that is registered in multiple affiliate programs (Product Marketplace, Collab Invite and TAP campaigns), the commission rate will be applied as follows:

• When linking the product to the video, if the creator linked the product through TAP Campaign, then the TAP Campaign commission rate will be applied.
• When linking the product to the video, if the creator links the product via Product Marketplace or Collab Invite, then the Collab Invite commission rate will be applied if the Creator accepts the invite. If not, then the Product Marketplace rate will apply.
