How Do Shopify Users Differ from Regular Users?

Hardly at all, and that is the point. A Shopify-connected account is an ordinary brand account with your products attached. There is no separate plan, no different pricing and no feature you lose.

The one real difference at sign-up

A brand that opens the Ainfluencer app inside Shopify is logged in automatically and sent to a Create Password for Your Ainfluencer Account screen before anything else. Shopify has already told us who you are, so you are setting a password rather than filling in a form. After that you go through the same onboarding as everyone else, where only the business name and location are required, see when setup counts as complete.

What stays exactly the same
The same creator search and the same filters.
The same invitations, offers and chat.
The same escrow: your budget is held safely and released when you approve the delivery.
The same wallet and the same fees.
The same one-email-one-account rule, see using one email for multiple accounts.
Why this helps you
Connecting Shopify is a shortcut, not a different product. You get your catalogue, AI campaign pre-fill and the ability to pay creators a commission on sales they actually drive. If none of that is useful to you yet, a regular account does everything else identically, and you can connect a store later without starting again.
If you connect several stores

You can. After the first store is connected, Or Add another Shopify account lets you attach more, and each campaign is built from one store’s products. The store picker shows each store with its product count.
