Petissi Creator Guide (In Progress)
Petissi · For Creators
Everything you agreed to, in one place — what arrives, what to film, how to post it, and how you earn from it. Four minutes to read.
01 Start here
The collaboration, in full
One short video, posted properly, plus your own affiliate code so the collaboration keeps earning after the post goes up.
What you get
- •Your gifting option — Personalized or Signature — yours to keep
- •Your own affiliate code: 20% off for your followers, 15% commission for you
- •Selected content may receive paid promotion from Petissi
- •Early access to new collections before they launch
What we ask
- •One Reel — 20–30 seconds for an aesthetic edit, up to 45 if you’re talking to camera
- •You and your dog in frame together at least once
- •If your pieces were customized, show the customizer
- •You appear wearing your own pieces — see your gifting option below
- •Posted as a Collab with @petissi_official
- •The paid partnership label switched on
- •Your partnership ad code, sent to us after you post
Timing
Please aim to post within seven days of receiving your package, or let us know if you need more time. We’d much rather move the date than rush the video.
02 Your package
Your selected gifting option
You chose one of these when we agreed the collaboration — it’s confirmed in your email from us. What we ask on camera depends on which one you’re receiving.
Option A
Personalized
- •Your dog’s personalized piece
- •One matching piece for you
The condition: the complete owner set is included only if you appear in the video wearing it. If you’d rather stay off camera, that’s fine — you’ll receive the single owner piece.
Option B
Signature
- •The complete matching set for you and your dog
The condition: because you’re receiving the full set, please appear in the video wearing or introducing your pieces. It doesn’t need to be a long shot — a hand, a wrist, a few seconds is plenty.
Not sure which one you’re on? Reply to our email and we’ll confirm before you film.
03 Earning
Your two codes
You’ll deal with two different codes in this collaboration. They do completely different jobs — this trips people up, so here they are side by side.
Code 1 — yours
Your affiliate code
Used by your followers, at checkout
- •Gives your followers 20% off
- •Earns you 15% commission on qualifying sales
- •Valid for six months
- •Paid monthly by PayPal, with no minimum threshold
Code 2 — ours
Instagram partnership ad code
Used by Petissi, inside Instagram’s ad tools
- •You generate it on your post and send it to us
- •It lets us run your Reel as an ad from your handle, if we choose to promote it
- •Generally available for around 60 days
- •You can revoke it at any time
Getting your affiliate code working
- •We’ll send your code with your shipping confirmation.
- •Send us the PayPal email you’d like payouts sent to — we can’t pay you without it.
- •Put the code in your caption, and say it out loud if it fits. Followers can’t use a code they never see, and that’s where your commission comes from.
04 Who we are
About Petissi
Petissi was founded on a simple belief: our pets deserve the same elegance and care we give ourselves.
We make refined dog accessories from natural crystals and premium leather, hand-finished and designed to balance beauty with comfort — so your dog doesn’t just look exceptional, they feel it too.
We don’t only make accessories. We celebrate the bond between you and your dog through timeless, elevated design.
If you say one thing about us on camera, say this: you design it yourself, and it’s made to be worn by both of you.
05 The shoot
Your video
Two ways to make this. Pick whichever you’d actually enjoy making — both get the same treatment from us.
A — Talking
You speak to camera. Best if you’re comfortable on mic and want to walk people through the customizing.
B — Aesthetic
No voice, just visuals and on-screen text. Best if you’d rather not talk, or you like editing.
Make it yours. The best Petissi videos are the least staged ones — a real morning, a real walk, your real dog. 🩵🐾
06 Quality bar
Do & don’t
Do
✓Film vertical, in daylight or beside a window
✓Screen-record the customizer if your pieces were customized
✓Get you and your dog in frame together at least once
✓Keep the pieces in frame and in focus
✓Let your dog be a dog — sniffing, zoomies, blinking
✓Wipe the gemstones first; they catch light beautifully
✓Appear wearing your own pieces if you’re on Option B, or on Option A with the complete set
Don’t
✗Any filter that changes the gemstone colour — that’s the product
✗Heavy colour grading over the pieces
✗Competing pet brands visible in the shot
✗Music with explicit lyrics
✗Re-cutting an old video with the piece dropped in
✗Leaving a collar on unsupervised to get the shot
07 Caption
What to write
Start from this and make it sound like you. One real line beats three polished ones.
Caption template
[One true line about your dog and the piece — how it looks on them, or how it feels to match.] Wearing @petissi_official 🩵 20% off with my code [YOUR CODE] #Petissi_pets
What every post needs
- •@petissi_official tagged in the caption
- •#Petissi_pets in the caption itself — not the first comment
- •The paid partnership label with Petissi (step 2 below). It’s how you disclose the gifted pieces, and it’s what makes the ad code possible
- •Your affiliate code, so followers can actually use it and you get paid
08 Posting
Three steps in the app
This is the part that decides whether the collaboration works. It takes about two minutes.
Step 1
Post it as a Collab with us
On the Reel screen before you share: tap Tag people → Invite collaborator → search petissi_official → Done → Share.
We accept from our side and the Reel goes out on both profiles at once — your audience and ours, one post, both sets of views counted together.
Already posted? You can still add us: tap ••• → Edit → Tag people → Invite collaborator.
Step 2
Switch on the paid partnership label
Same screen, before you share: tap Partnership label & ads → turn on Get partnership ad code → back → Share.
The label is your disclosure for the gifted pieces, and turning the toggle on now saves you a step in a minute.
You need a Professional account (Creator or Business) for this. Switching is free and takes a moment: Settings → Account type and tools.
Step 3
Send us your partnership ad code
Once the Reel is live: open it → tap ••• top right → Partnership label & ads → Get partnership ad code → Copy.
Send the code to alan@petissi.com, or DM it to @petissi_official — whichever is easier. It looks like a long string starting with adcode-.
This is not your affiliate code — that one is for your followers. See “Your two codes” above if the difference isn’t clear.
Instagram moves these menus around. If your app looks different, look for Partnership label & ads under the three dots on the post — that’s where it lives.
What the ad code actually does
- •It allows us to run your Reel as an ad, from your handle, with your name on it — if we choose to promote it. Not every video is promoted.
- •If we do promote it, your video reaches well beyond your own followers.
- •It does not give us your login, your DMs, or any ability to edit or delete your post.
- •A code is generally available for around 60 days.
- •You can revoke it at any time from the post’s ••• menu, and any ad stops.

11 Questions
FAQ
Do I keep the product?
Yes. It’s yours — no returns, no deposit.
Which format should I pick — talking or aesthetic?
Whichever you’d actually enjoy making. Talking suits you if you’re comfortable on camera and want to walk people through designing the piece; the aesthetic edit suits you if you’d rather not be on mic. Both get the same promotion from us, and neither is scored higher.
Do I really have to film the website?
If your pieces were customized, please do — a screen recording of you picking the gemstone and adding charms is the single most useful thing in the video. It’s the one thing a photo can’t communicate, and it’s what makes people go and try it themselves.
What’s the difference between my affiliate code and the ad code?
Your affiliate code is for your followers — they enter it at checkout for 20% off, and you earn 15% commission. The partnership ad code is for us — you generate it on your post and send it over so we can promote the Reel through Instagram’s ad tools. Different codes, different jobs, and they never get typed into the same place.
Is this a paid collaboration?
Not a flat fee. You receive the pieces, plus 15% commission on every qualifying sale through your code. Selected content may also receive paid promotion from us.
When and how do I get paid?
Monthly, by PayPal, with no minimum threshold — so even one sale gets paid out. Send us the PayPal email you’d like us to use.
How long does my affiliate code last?
Six months from the day we issue it.
Do I have to be in the video myself?
You and your dog need to be in frame together at least once, in both formats — but that can be a hand, a wrist, or a shot from behind. You never have to talk: that’s what the aesthetic format is for. Beyond that: on Option B (Signature), please appear wearing or introducing your pieces. On Option A (Personalized), appearing on camera in your set is what unlocks the complete owner set; if you’d rather not, you’ll receive the single owner piece instead.
Can I post it to TikTok or my Story as well?
Please do. This guide covers the Instagram Reel we’ve agreed on; anything extra is a bonus and we’re grateful for it.
Will you edit or re-cut my video?
No. If we promote it, we run it exactly as you posted it.
Can I revoke the ad code later?
Any time, from the post’s ••• menu. Any ad running on it stops.
What if my dog won’t wear it?
Let them wear it around the house for a day or two first — most dogs settle quickly. If it’s still a no, tell us. We’d rather have no video than a stressed dog.
How do I get the right size?
Send us your dog’s neck measurement and breed and we’ll pick the size for you.
Can I work with other pet brands?
Of course. Just not in the same video.
Something’s gone wrong, or I need more time.
Message us. Delays are fine; silence is the only thing that’s hard to work with.
