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.

***Please 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.

Server Postback
Postback URL
Append &coupon_code= to the Postback portion of your setup:
https://[TrackingDomain]/?nid=[EF Network ID]&coupon_code=[CouponCode Parameter]
Other Conversion Methods
There will be a Postback portion inside of the Pixel/JS tag, and you update that section using the Postback URL method explained above.
For example, for a pixel setup, you would add &coupon_code= as shown below:
<img src="https://[TrackingDomain]/?nid=[EF Network ID]&coupon_code=[CouponCodeParameter]" width="1px" height="1px" />
Direct Linking / Everflow JS SDK
Add coupon_code: [ShoppingCartCouponCodeParameter] inside of the script. Replace the [ShoppingCartCouponCodeParameter] section with the matching dynamic variable from your Shopping Cart.
For example, in Shopify, you would use:
coupon_code: Shopify.checkout.discount.code,
Here is how it will look before you update the code to your specific Shopping Cart setup:
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://[your tracking domain]/scripts/sdk/everflow.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
EF.conversion({
offer_id: [Offer ID],
coupon_code: [ShoppingCartCouponCodeParameter],
});
</script>
