Creating codes
Create enough unique discount codes in your system for every creator you want to work with.- The code should offer the end user a discount or incentive of some kind. This is what you’ll use for
user_description - Report Usage. You have two options:
- Track the total uses of each code and periodically update
PUT /codes - Send a request to
PUT /codes/{code}each time it a code used.
- Track the total uses of each code and periodically update
Creators are paid when you report, so you cannot retroactively decrease a code’s uses. You cannot delete codes which
are already assigned.
Integrations
If you maintain your own discount code system, you can use the API to add codes and update usage. However, if you use Shopify or Levanta (an Amazon affiliate manager), you can integrate automatically.Shopify
