UGC creator management software
Run your whole creator program from one place.
SQWAD replaces the DMs, forms and spreadsheets behind a UGC program. Creators apply, you ship product through Shopify, content comes in on deadline, and every Meta ad is traced back to the creator who made it.
What you can manage with SQWAD
Applications in one place
A branded apply page collects handles, follower counts, best videos, sizes and shipping. Review and approve in a click instead of reading DMs.
Product seeding through Shopify
Connect your store and import products. Approving a creator creates the sample order in Shopify, and tracking flows back to their dashboard.
Content review and deadlines
Posting deadlines start when the product lands. TikToks, Reels and raw uploads arrive in one queue, ready to approve and run as ads.
Revenue per creator and per video
Connect Meta and every ad is matched to the creator and video behind it. See spend, revenue, orders and ROAS, not just views.
Commission and payouts
Commission is calculated on what actually sold, and payouts are tracked per creator so nobody is chasing spreadsheets.
Reasons to keep posting
Competitions, leaderboards, smart retainers and rewards keep good creators active after the first collab.

Questions about creator management
What is UGC creator management software?
It's one system for the whole creator program: recruiting and approving creators, shipping product, collecting content, tracking results and paying commission. SQWAD adds revenue attribution, so you can see which creators and videos actually drove sales.
Who is SQWAD for?
DTC brands on Shopify that send product to creators and run creator content as ads, from a first handful of creators to programs with dozens.
Do creators need to pay or download anything?
No. Creators apply on your branded page and get a free dashboard for their shipment, posts and earnings. One SQWAD login works across every brand they work with.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. Your first month is free, then Starter is $99 a month. Your price only goes up when your creators drive more tracked revenue.
