Zeedy vs
Seeding Ops.
Seeding Ops and Zeedy are both Shopify apps for product seeding, and both turn a gift into a draft order at 100% off. They differ in what the creator can choose, how many gifts each plan includes, and what they measure afterwards.

| How a gift reaches Shopify | It creates a draft order for the chosen variant, applies a 100% discount, tags it and completes it, so it ships like any other order. | Each gift is a Shopify draft order at 100% off, so stock goes down and cost is booked like any real order. |
| Creator picks products and sizes | A claim link puts product, size, a verified address and terms on one screen, with live inventory. | Yes, with Gift Link. “They pick”: the creator browses your real product pages within your limits (pieces, maximum value, whole store or one collection), with their sizes held. “You pick”: the link opens a cart you filled. No account needed. |
| Creators | ||
| Finding creators | It says it is not a discovery tool. Plans include a monthly number of creator lookups (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube). | Look up creators by Instagram handle; the roster remembers sizes, country and tier. Creator discovery (Explore) is coming soon. No creator marketplace. |
| AI assistant | Not published. | Zeedy AI, in the portal: ask in plain words and it prepares seedings, gift links, creators and campaigns for you to confirm with one click. It also tells you what has stalled and what each campaign produced. |
| Data | ||
| Store demand data | Not published. | With the Zeedy pixel on: product views and cart adds by country and by product, where that traffic comes from, and growing markets you have not seeded yet. Aggregate store data, not sales per creator. |
| Reporting | Posts, orders and GMV per creator. From Growth up, it also archives Instagram posts that mention the brand. | Spend rolls up by campaign, market and tier, and each campaign reports units and spend by market and store location. Admins see cost and margin; editors and viewers do not. |
| Affiliate and creator payouts | Per‑creator discount codes, with orders and GMV attributed to each creator. No creator payouts mentioned. | Not included: Zeedy does not pay creators or track commissions. |
