Creator Program
Crashout Council — Zensation Creator Program
15-25% commission · own creative direction · no posting quotas · paid monthly
If you make content on TikTok or Instagram and the phrases Crashout SZN, Locked In, Touch Grass, NPC Energy, or LOCK THE FUCK IN feel like they live in your group chat — we built this for you.
Real talk: most streetwear brands DM 50 creators per drop, send free product, hope something sticks. We're flipping it. Commission-only, transparent rates, your code goes live the moment you're approved, and we only succeed when you do.
The tiers
Crashout Affiliate
- One free piece per drop you post about
- 24-hour early access to new drops

- Full drop access + custom piece request per quarter

What we expect from you
- Be honest. If a piece doesn't fit your style, don't force it
- Show the product on camera, not just hold it up
- Tag @zensation on the first post so we can repost
- Use the phrase voice ("crashing out", "locked in") naturally — never forced
What we don't expect
- A posting schedule
- Exclusivity (post for other brands, we don't care)
- A contract length (cancel any time, no clawback)
- A specific creative format (you know your audience, not us)

FAQ
Do I have to be a streetwear creator?
No. We've onboarded creators in gaming, mental health, lifestyle, ADHD content, internet culture, fashion, and parody. If your audience overlaps with online-native Gen Z and millennial audiences, you'll convert.
How do I get paid?
Monthly via Stripe (through Shopify Collabs). You'll set up a Stripe Express account during onboarding. Payouts hit on the 1st of every month for the prior month's commissions, with a 14-day refund-buffer window so we're not paying out and clawing back.
Can I use my code for myself?
No. The system blocks self-purchases (same email, same shipping address, same payment method). This protects program integrity for everyone.
What if a follower returns their order?
If returned within 30 days, the commission is reversed. After 30 days, the commission is locked. We email you a monthly statement showing any reversals.
Do I have to make a specific number of posts?
Zero. Your code earns whether you post or not. We're paying you for the audience access, not for content quotas. Post when it feels right.
What if my content doesn't fit your brand voice?
You have full creative direction. The only line is: no alcohol/weapons/political content while wearing the product, and no name-calling competitors. Beyond that, your voice is your voice.
Can I tier up?
Yes. We review tier placements monthly. If your followers grow or your code is converting at top rates, we'll bump you up. You can also request a review by emailing creators@zensation.store.
Is there an exclusivity clause?
No. Post for other brands. Promote competitors. We're not trying to lock you in — we're trying to be the brand that pays fairly and treats creators like collaborators.
When does the program open?
Soft-open now. Drop 016 (LOCK THE FUCK IN) is the first big drop where Council members will get the full asset pack, sample product, and launch-day playbook. Apply now to be in the first wave.
Will you DM me first?
Sometimes. We hand-pick 100 creators per quarter for direct outreach. If you didn't get a DM, that doesn't mean we don't want you — it just means we haven't found you yet. Apply via email and skip the wait.
