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.
Tracking links and coupon codes are two ways to connect a sale back to the affiliate who drove it. LinkJolt runs both at once, which is what we call dual tracking.
A tracking link carries a parameter that identifies the affiliate. When someone clicks it, LinkJolt stores that reference in cookies and local storage for a 30 day window. If they buy within that window, the sale is attributed.
A coupon code is attributed at checkout instead of in the browser. The affiliate shares a code, the customer enters it, and LinkJolt matches that code to the affiliate when the payment webhook arrives.
There are two ways to get the code itself. The Coupons tab on the Campaigns page offers to set this up with Stripe or Polar: approve LinkJolt once on their site, and a code you add after that is created in your own Stripe or Polar account for you, with the discount you chose. Otherwise the code is reference only: you create it in your payment processor first, then register the same code in LinkJolt so it knows who to credit. Paddle discounts and Apple offer codes are always reference only.
Once codes can be created in your Stripe or Polar account, a campaign can also switch on Automatic coupon codes, which gives every affiliate you approve on that campaign their own code without you adding it.
Coupon attribution is the easiest way to track sales on platforms where you cannot store browser cookies, such as some app or marketplace checkouts.
Links catch the visitors who click through and buy directly. Coupons catch the buyers who hear about you from a creator and check out later with a code. Running both means you attribute far more sales than either method alone.
How long does an affiliate stay credited after someone clicks their link?
30 days. A click stores that affiliate's details in the visitor's browser for 30 days, and a purchase made in that period is credited to them. The window is fixed: there is no setting to change it per campaign or per plan.
Where do I find my affiliate link?
Your link already exists, there is nothing to generate. Sign in to the affiliate portal, open Campaigns, and press Copy Link in the Tracking link column of any campaign you have been approved for.
How do I install the LinkJolt tracking script?
Copy the one line script tag from the Integration Hub in your dashboard and paste it into the head of every page a visitor can land on. Copy it rather than typing it, because the tag carries your own merchant ID and a wrong ID never raises an error.
Where do I put the script when my landing page and checkout are on different platforms?
Put the script on every page a visitor sees before they pay, starting with the landing page. It only rewrites Stripe Payment Link, Polar checkout, Gumroad and Lemon Squeezy links for you, so for any other jump to a different domain you have to carry the tc, aff and cid parameters across yourself.
