How do affiliates get their tracking links?

Once an affiliate joins your campaign, their unique tracking links and short links are generated automatically in the affiliate portal. They copy and share them, and any registered coupon codes work alongside.

Affiliates get their links automatically. There is nothing for you to send manually.

In the affiliate portal

When an affiliate joins your campaign, LinkJolt generates their personal tracking links right away. They sign in to the affiliate portal and copy the link for any campaign they are part of. Each link already carries the parameters that attribute clicks back to them.

Affiliates also get clean short links in the form:

linkjolt.io/l/CODE

These are friendlier to share on social media and redirect to your destination with tracking attached.

Coupon codes

If you run coupon based attribution, any code you registered against the affiliate works at the same time, so they can share a link, a code, or both.

What is the difference between tracking links and coupon codes?

Tracking links attribute a sale by a URL parameter stored in the visitor's browser. Coupon codes attribute a sale by the discount code used at checkout. LinkJolt supports both at the same time so no sale slips through.

Can affiliates start promoting before I approve them?

Yes. Pending affiliates can generate tracking links and drive conversions right away, but those commissions stay unpaid until you approve both the affiliate and the commission. Nothing is paid out without your approval.

How do I get affiliates into my program?

Four ways: email an invitation, share your campaign's partner link, list the campaign on the Discovery marketplace (Professional and up), or create affiliates programmatically with the Developer API (Ultimate and Scale).

How does the Discovery marketplace help me find affiliates?

Discovery is a public marketplace (Professional and up) where affiliates browse live programs and apply to yours. Your campaigns are listed by default, you can auto-approve applicants, and featured placement is available for $39 per week.
