What’s OctoPrime? OctoPrime is a new feature on Octoly that allows you to have your very own personalized store.

Your store will allow your audience to see all the products you love and shop straight from your page! You can log into OctoPrime, with the same credentials as your Octoly account! What’s the most amazing thing about this? The store is automatically generated and updated, so it’s super simple!

All you need to do is share it with your audience. You can of course customize it so it’s 100% yours: you can change your profile picture and the description so that people directly recognize it’s your store! But that’s not it.

Here are the major details of your new Octoprime program :

Your OctoPrime Store:

Your store will allow your audience to see all the products you have reviewed on Octoly and shop straight from your page! It is divided in 3 parts :

My Shop: Your Shop is the page where your audience can find all the products you have reviewed through Octoly. From there, they can access product pages containing your review and shop!

Collections: You can also create Collections to manage and sort the products on your OctoPrime store. You can sort them by categories (fashion, beauty, lifestyle, etc.), by season (winter products, summer products), by color, by anything your heart desires, really! You can even add products you haven’t reviewed to your Collections, to share your favorites with your audience!

Promo Codes: With OctoPrime, you can also share great opportunities with your audience. You will be able to share all the promo codes you have with your followers, even if they aren’t brands on Octoly. OctoPrime should really be the place where your audience gets all the latest deals!

Engage With Your Audience

OctoPrime is not only about you. Your audience can also get a special access by creating an account on OctoPrime!

After signing in, they’ll be able to :

  • Follow you so they won’t miss any of your product suggestions
  • Add your products to their wish lists!
  • Access your promo codes and find the best deals!

Invite them to sign up and to follow you on OctoPrime by sharing your Octoprime link!

Follow Your Performance

The aim of OctoPrime is also to allow you to grow as a successful influencer. For the time being, it is only in beta phase, but we really want to develop a way to give revenue to creators. We are trying out new programs, and if they work well, we will implement a system that will redistribute revenue to creators. We really want you to get what you deserve for your hard work and passion!

What’s also amazing about OctoPrime is that each store is automatically generated and updated, so it’s super simple! All you need to do is just share it with your audience. You can do this by adding a link to your social platforms or anywhere you engage with your audience (YouTube, Instagram, Blog, Facebook, etc).

Your followers will be able to access all the products you have reviewed and shop directly from your page. As OctoPrime is brand new, please keep in mind that it will continue to evolve. (Stay tuned for more personalization possibilities and other cool stuff for you and your audience!)

Any feedback you have is much appreciated. It helps us help you! We know this might be a lot of information to take in, so here’s a few answers to questions you might have right about now…

FAQ:

  • What makes OctoPrime so special?

It’s an e-commerce shop unlike anything else. It’s your very own personal marketplace that allows your followers to peep the reviews you’ve done and then shop your favorite products straight from your page. What’s especially awesome is that you don’t even have to really do anything to set it up. Just opt in, copy and paste your one-of-a-kind URL link to your social profiles, and we’ll do the rest!

  • Can I share the link for one specific product?

Of course! You can either share the link to your OctoPrime store page or a direct link to a specific product page if you wish.

  • What’s the benefit of using OctoPrime?

We know that you are all about giving back to your audience and we want to support you with that. It’s a super simple way for them to check out your reviews and shop your favorite products all in one place! We’ll also be adding tons of other cool stuff to offer them very, very soon: promo codes, giveaways, collections, and more. There’s also a “shop my style” section where your audience can view your recommendations.

  • Will I earn anything from participating?

That’s the plan! OctoPrime is still in Beta and we will be testing several programs to reward you in a very near future.

  • Where can I share my OctoPrime Shop or Product page links?

Basically, you can share these links any where that you engage with your audience.

There are multiple ways to share OctoPrime links to your audience.

On Instagram:

  • In your bio
  • In your Stories if you have a professional account

On YouTube:

  • In your videos
  • In your About section
  • In the comment box of your video

Anywhere else you engage your audience

  • Blogs
  • Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, even MySpace if you want!

Can I opt out from this program? If I opt out, can I register back again?

Of course! If you’re just not that into it, you can opt out directly from the settings of your Octoly free store. But don’t worry, you’ll be able to register back from the same page if you change your mind.

Can I promote other promo codes than the ones I got on Octoly?

Yes, you can! You can add any promo code you wish to share with your audience! The more (good deals), the merrier!

Can I add a product I didn’t review in my collections?

Absolutely! You can add any product from Octoly to your collections, even if you haven’t reviewed it! The idea is for you to be able to share all the products you love (or would love to try) with your audience!

Why aren’t all the products I reviewed through Octoly in my OctoPrime store?

Not all brands wanted to be displayed on OctoPrime, therefore, some products aren’t available on your store even if you have reviewed them.
