Difference Between Tracking Links & Coupon Codes


Your affiliate dashboard has two tools: Tracking Links and Coupon Codes. Both can credit a referral to you, but they work differently.


Unique URLs for online promotion. A click stores a cookie.


  • Cookie lasts 30 days
  • If they sign up in that window, you get the referral
  • Best for social, ads, YouTube, large audiences


Attribution is first-touch: the first affiliate who is attributed keeps all future commissions. It cannot be moved later.


2. Coupon codes

The user types the code at signup / plan checkout.


  • They get 10% off the Starter activation fee only (not auto-applied to subscriptions)
  • A coupon beats a link cookie if both are present
  • Best for WhatsApp, Telegram, 1:1 conversations

4. Commissions

Yes — both methods pay the same lifetime structure (0.5% of net ad-account credit on Commission plans, 10% of paid subscription fees). Unlimited-plan ad spend does not pay the 0.5%.


|||| If someone signs up with neither your link nor your coupon, the referral cannot be added later.
