Influencer marketing for Shopify brands
Your best creator drove €40,000 in revenue. Did you make money on it?
arca puts the fee, the ad spend, the revenue and the returns of a collaboration side by side — and works out what is actually left.

what is actually left
How arca counts: She costs you €1,100 a month.
The number you need lives in four systems
spreadsheet or chat
The fee
Someone negotiated it and wrote it down somewhere.
Meta and Google
The ad spend
What you put behind their video sits in the ads manager — disconnected from the creator.
Shopify
The revenue
Orders on their code, their link, or on neither.
thirty days later
The returns
They arrive long after the report was written.
Each of these systems is right. Together they answer nothing.
The difference
Others count estimated reach. arca counts money.
“collects all user-generated content from influencers which you can download and directly upload into your Meta Business Manager”
A person downloads the video and uploads it into the ads manager themselves. The money never touches the tool — it never sees the spend. What is left is an estimated “Earned Media Value”.
arca pulls spend from Meta and Google Ads, revenue from Shopify, and computes ROAS and contribution margin from both. Not an estimate — the numbers your accountant sees.
A creator who drives revenue and still burns money looks excellent in every other tool.

The flow
From “interesting creator” to “paid out”
Add the lead
By hand, from an application, or from your own roster.
Check the insights
Reach, country, previous brand collaborations.
Reach out
A multi-step sequence that stops itself the moment someone replies.
Offer and booking
Terms, market, period, owner.
Send the brief
A page of their own per creator, not a PDF attachment.
Ship the product
Address, size, tracking number — in the same record.
Code and click link
Both belong to the person for good, not to a single booking.
Posting plan
Who goes live when, and whether it actually happened.
Revenue comes in
Orders land on the right creator — via code, link, or the buyer's path.
Commission and credit
Computed by your rules, cancellations and returns included.
Pay out
Credit note, document, payment. The creator sees their own balance.

Who it fits — and who it doesn't
A fit
- brands on Shopify
- several markets and currencies
- an in-house team working with creators directly
- ad spend behind creator content
Not a fit
- if you only want to buy a creator list
- if you don't sell on Shopify
- if you're looking for an agency to do the booking
