FOR SHOPIFY BOUTIQUES
Shopify Collective, Collabs and within.
Three Shopify apps that boutiques ask about do three different jobs. Collective lets Shopify stores sell each other's products. Collabs runs the creators who send you sales, and pays them through your Shopify bill. within lists the stock on your own shelf for shoppers on within and on Google, and the order comes back to your Shopify.
