Collabs
Join The Rebellion Against...
big coffee and its $7 latte tax. Burnt beans, foam empires, and corporate caffeine. Lines, lids, and drip-worship dogma. Brew times, wait times, and wasted time. Paper cups, paper-thin energy, and paper-thick prices. Overpriced sips and underwhelming buzz. The daily pour-and-snore routine. Brand-name bitterness and watered-down hype. Barista bottlenecks and foam theatrics. …Meh mochas and mermaid marketing. Lukewarm lattés and lukewarm lives.
No More Rituals, Just Results. We Are In The Era Of Dry Brew & We Want You!
How we work with creators
-
The vibe
We’re not here to police your vibe. We’re here to fuel it. If you make real, scrappy, punchy content that makes peopledothings, you are one of us.
- Creator-first. No script robots, no brand-school buzzkill.
- Real talk, real results. We troll big coffee (lovingly… mostly).
- Fast moves, fast approvals. We’d rather ship than nitpick.
- Franchise Events like; Dry Brew Trick Of The Day (#DryBrewTOTD), Trailbuzzers Of The Month Feature, & Coffe Cartel Talk.
-
The deal
- Free product drops so you can chew, test, and shoot.
- 10–20% base commission for Caffiends (affiliates) & tier bumps + surprise bonuses.
- Custom link + vanity code via Shopify Collabs.
- Creator kit (hooks, angles, raw assets) to make posting stupid-easy.
- Feature love: we spotlight top posts across Dry Brew marketing channels.
- Paid collabs for standouts who crush performance.
- Incentive Programs: Give-aways, Bonuses, and Competitions for all the affiliates to stay motivated.
-
What we expect
- Show the use case (pocket it, chew it, go). No foam theater.
- Keep it authentic: your voice, your community, your style.
- FTC disclosure on every post with links/codes.
- Hit the basics: link in bio, code on screen, clear CTA.
How it works (simple):
- Apply → we review fast.
- Get stocked → we ship a creator pack + kit.
- Create & cash → post, track, get paid. Rinse, don’t brew.
Usage & rights
- We may reshare your content (credit always). No exclusivity traps—just don’t rep the enemy (big coffee) the same week.
What It Means To Be A Trailbuzzer
Eligibility & Application
Who can apply to the Dry Brew affiliate program?
Creators, athletes, students, founders, and outdoors/adventure folks with engaged audiences. Must comply with FTC disclosure and our promo policies.
Do I need a minimum follower count or website traffic?
No fixed minimum. We care about engagement + content quality (typ. ≥3% engagement on recent posts).
Do you accept creators outside the U.S.?
Yes for invite-only partners anywhere we ship. Our Open Access discovery option is available to eligible creators in the US, CA, and UK.
How long does approval take?
Most invites are reviewed in 2–5 business days. (Open Access creators can generate links instantly once eligible.)
What if my application is declined—can I reapply?
Yes—improve fit (content/posting frequency/engagement) and reapply in 60 days.
Commissions & Payouts
What’s the base commission rate?
Starts at 10–20% per sale, with tier bumps for performance.
Do you offer tiered commissions or bonuses?
Yep—milestones unlock higher rates, cash bonuses, and product credit.
Is there a minimum payout threshold?
Yes—$25 minimum balance for automatic payouts. Payouts are semi-monthly once your balance meets the threshold.
How and when are payouts issued?
We use Shopify Collabs automatic payments. After our 15 day holding period (to cover refunds), commissions post to our Shopify bill and then pay out to you automatically on Shopify’s semi-monthly schedule.
How do I receive the funds?
Set up your account in Collabs to receive payouts (bank transfer or PayPal availability depends on region).
Do you offer recurring commissions on subscriptions?
Yes– On the first order of subscriptions only, we’ll specify recurring terms in your invite.
Tracking, Links & Codes
How do I get my affiliate link and discount code?
Once approved, grab them in your Shopify Collabs dashboard (we’ll also email your assets).
What’s the cookie window (attribution period)?
Dry Brew uses a 60-day cookie.
If a shopper clicks my link but uses another code, who gets credit?
Collabs credits sales driven by either a tracked link or an assigned discount code. To avoid conflicts, we issue unique codes and discourage public coupon sites. (We’ll review edge cases.)
Do you support deep links to specific products or bundles?
Yes—creators can generate product-level affiliate links directly in Collabs.
Can I use both a link and a code in the same promo?
Yes—best practice is to share your link and show your code on-screen for Reels/Shorts.
Content, Promotion & Ads
Do you provide a media kit, UGC, or creative assets?
Yes—approved affiliates get a creator kit (photo/video, hooks, brand guide).
Can I run paid ads (Facebook/TikTok/Google) using my affiliate link?
Allowed with rules:
- ✅ Paid social to your own posts/landing pages (no “direct-to-checkout” link cloaking).
- ❌ No brand-term bidding on search (e.g., “Dry Brew”, misspellings, our domain).
- ❌ No retargeting our first-party audiences or impersonating the brand.
These policies reduce ad fraud and channel conflict.
Can I promote in email newsletters or private communities?
Yes—great channel. Include clear FTC disclosures.
Do you accept coupon/deal sites or cash-back extensions?
No—those siphon last-click credit without content. We review case-by-case.
Product, Samples & Discounts
Do affiliates receive free product or a creator discount?
Most performers get product seeding; all approved affiliates get an exclusive creator discount.
Can I request specific flavors/variants for content?
Yes—you will get a choice from pre-selected options when your affiliate proposal is sent. Just pick and choose the brew chew you want.
Do you offer unique discount codes for my audience?
Yes—custom vanity codes are standard.
Are there seasonal promos I can plan for?
Yes—Q4, New Year, and summer adventure pushes. We share a promo calendar in the group.
Policies, Returns & Compliance
How do returns, cancellations, or chargebacks affect commission?
Orders refunded during the holding period void commission. Post-payout returns may be reconciled against future payouts. Our current holding period is 14 days.
Can I purchase through my own link for personal orders?
No self-commissioning. One personal trial order allowed non-commissionable.
Can I also work with other coffee/energy brands?
Yes—just don’t compare with unsubstantiated claims or use competitor trademark bidding. Also... we are better, just saying.
What are the FTC disclosure requirements for affiliates?
Use clear/visible disclosures (e.g., “#ad” “#paidpartner”) in every post/story with your link/code.
Tech & Support
Where can I track clicks, sales, and payouts?
In your Shopify Collabs affiliate dashboard.
Who do I contact if tracking looks off or a sale is missing?
Email bella@drybrew.com with date, order # (if known), and the post link. We’ll investigate in Collabs.
Can you integrate with Linktree/Beacons or other bio tools?
Yes—use your affiliate link as your primary button and deep link to top products.
How do I update my payment or tax info?
Update payout settings in Collabs (Hyperwallet). US creators may be asked for a W-9; payouts are capped at $599.99 in a year until it’s submitted.
