Affiliate and social commerce
Social commerce is a sale that can be tied to a creator: a shop, a code, an affiliate link, a live selling slot. Seeding and giveaways are not the same job. This page keeps the rankings where the scored agencies have commerce proof, and it keeps software on the software index.

Shop and ecommerce rankings
TikTok Shop is in-app commerce. Ecommerce is the wider direct-to-consumer launch. A shop that leads one can sit lower on the other. Read the skip-if lines before you send the RFP.
Affiliate software is not an agency
Upfluence is the affiliate-and-influencer product in the platform index. Aspire and GRIN sit next to it for ecommerce teams that already have operators. Buying the login when nobody will brief creators is the expensive mistake.

About this topic
- Is product seeding the same as an affiliate program?
- No. Seeding ships product and hopes for posts. An affiliate or Shop program pays on a tracked action and needs briefs, samples, and someone answering creators. The agency service is the second one.
- Do live shopping specialists automatically rank here?
- Only if they are in the scored set and the public record shows commerce work. A directory of every live-shopping studio is not this page.
