Update to DE/FR Collective Program

| Must Know

We’d like to inform you of an upcoming change to the ShopStyle Collective platform which will affect partners using our localized French and German websites. On March 30, 2018, we will close our FR and DE Collective platforms in an effort to create a more uniform experience for all our European partners. French and German partners will continue to be eligible to use ShopStyle Collective, and your country location in your settings will not change or be affected by this update.
We’re committed to providing a platform that serves all of our partners. French and German partners will be able to sign into their account through either www.shopstylecollective.com or www.shopstylecollective.co.uk. Please note that balances will display with a dollar or pound sign on these domains, but the figure will reflect your chosen currency. To access a product feed in EUR after logging in, simply click the flag on the bottom left hand corner of the platform and select the “UK (EUR)” option in the product catalogue drop down. This option will enable you to create links and widgets using our UK retailers while displaying all pricing in Euros to provide more localised support for you and your followers.
We are excited about the launch of this new feature for our European partners! Access to a feed in English, which displays the UK retailers price in Euros, will make it easier for readers to understand the pricing, eliminating the need for them to display a product in £ or $, which is a barrier to conversion.

FAQ:

When does this come into effect?

March 30th 2018

If I am French/German, how do I access ShopStyle Collective now?

Log in to your account as usual, by heading to shopstylecollective.com or shopstylecollective.co.uk

There you will be able to access either a US (if on .com) or UK (if on .co.uk) product feed.

If you wish to access a product feed that will display your items in widgets as Euros, please select the new option for UK retailers with Euro pricing. To do this, hit the flag and click on the United Kingdom (Euros)

Does this affect/change the country I chose when I signed up for SSC service?

No, you will remain signed up as a French or German member in our database

Does this affect/change the currency I am paid out in?

No, you will continue to earn in Euros, if you selected that as your pay out currency

When I create links or widgets in the UK Euro platform, what happens when my readers click?

They will see the item displayed in Euros in your widgets if you choose to show currency, they will then be sent to the UK localised retailer website. Most retailers will pick up on a readers IP address and prompt them to switch to their native website if one exists for the country they are based in.

How does the UK/Euro feed determine the price of the item if originally in £

We will use the latest currency conversion, built into the platform and automatically apply to the product price in links and widgets

Where have my localised retailers gone?

In an effort to improve the platform, we are focusing and putting more emphasis on international retailers who ship to most countries worldwide. Retailers focused on either Germany or France only, will most likely no longer be included in our platform.
