Checkout Clout

Description

Turn your customers into influencer leads — automatically.

Every day, creators and influencers place orders in your store without you knowing. Checkout Clout changes that.

A subtle, optional field appears at checkout asking customers if they want to share their Instagram or TikTok handle. After the order is placed, Checkout Clout automatically looks up their follower count and scores them green, orange, or red — so you know exactly who’s worth reaching out to.

How it works

  1. Install the plugin and connect your Checkout Clout account
  2. An optional social handle field appears at checkout
  3. After each order, follower counts are retrieved and leads are scored automatically
  4. Send branded outreach emails with one click — or enable auto-send for top leads

Features

  • Checkout widget — Subtle Instagram & TikTok field embedded directly in your WooCommerce checkout
  • Automatic lead scoring — Green (10k+ followers), Orange (1k–10k), Red (<1k)
  • Outreach emails — Personalized collaboration emails sent from your dashboard. Track opens.
  • Leads dashboard — Filter, sort, and manage all creator leads in one place
  • Collaboration tracking — Track leads through outreach, negotiation, and active partnership stages
  • Customizable widget — Change colors, fonts, button text, disclaimer, and checkout position
  • Blacklist & GDPR — Delete any lead on request. Return window prevents duplicate leads.
  • WooCommerce + Shopify — Works across both platforms with the same account

FAQ

Is this plugin free?

The plugin is free to install. A Checkout Clout account is required to use the service. Plans start at $14/month for 100 lead checks. Register at checkoutclout.com.

Does this work without WooCommerce?

No — the plugin requires WooCommerce to function. For Shopify stores, use the Checkout Clout Shopify app instead.

What counts as a “check”?

Each time we retrieve a follower count after an order, that uses one credit. If a customer does not submit a social handle, no credit is used.

Is submitting a social handle mandatory for customers?

No — the widget is completely optional. Customers can skip it and complete their order normally.

How accurate is the follower count?

As long as an account is public, accuracy is 95%+. Private accounts or very new accounts may return 0 and be scored red.

Is this GDPR compliant?

Yes. Lead data is stored on behalf of the merchant and can be deleted at any time. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Where can I get support?
