Using Coupon Codes For Clickless Tracking

Tracking performance through Coupon Codes without a tracking link with various Shopping Cart integrations

Overview

Coupon Codes allow you to assign a specific code for tracking to a specified Partner. Whenever a conversion is made using that Coupon Code, it will be credited to the Partner it is assigned to. As this provides the ability for your Partners to promote your Offers without using tracking links, this is considered a "clickless" tracking method.

Note Coupon Codes are NOT the same as discount codes, which are managed within the Shopping Cart you are using. You may, however, choose to add a Coupon Code in Everflow that matches a discount code for clickless tracking.
For e-commerce integrations such as Shopify and WooCommerce, the Coupon Codes are automatically pulled.
