Can I use promo codes instead of website tracking? Most of my new customers come from a Discord channel and never visit my website.

- mcilroy 4y agoThat’s actually a good point :) how would you see this working? Your affiliate gets a unique promo code for your checkout, then if a sale is completed with that promo code, it attributes the referral to that particular affiliate?
- combyn8tor 4y agoThat's pretty much what I'm after. Ideally the affiliate gets real $ in return for their referral instead of just credit for my service. I run a niche gaming vpn. Last time I looked at your competitors nobody seemed to be doing it, so I implemented a halfway version myself. I currently generate a unique Stripe promo code for each new customer. If someone uses the promo code it gives them a small discount and gives the referrer credit against their account. Its not very popular as it stands.
- isaac-sway 4y agoThis is exactly the type of referral programme I am aiming to build via Stripe in the next couple weeks. If you have any advice, or know of any existing SaaS that can handle this, please do give a shout.
- exolymph 4y agoThat's intriguing, what's your business and how are people finding you via Discord? (If you don't mind explaining — if you do, I get it.)
- combyn8tor 4y agoNo probs, I run a niche gaming vpn service supporting a handful of games for Australian and New Zealand customers. It is mostly run out of a Discord server and any support work is handled via Discord PM's. All my new customers are from word of mouth and typically just get sent an invite to my Discord channel from existing customers. The website is pretty much an afterthought and to provide a bit of credibility.
