Frequently asked questions
What makes Zeedy different?
It is built around the gift on Shopify: each gift is a draft order at 100% off, and with Gift Link the creator can pick products and sizes on your own product pages within limits you set.
What doesn't Zeedy do?
It does not pay creators, run affiliate commissions or offer a creator marketplace. If those matter most, an all-in-one platform or Shopify Collabs may fit better.
