Promo codes

How they work#

A promo code gives a seller a bonus on the payout for their items. The site pays the bonus — your share is still calculated from the settlement value and is not reduced.

A promo code is tied to your domain. For each code you can see visits, the number of uses and the bonuses paid.

How to create one#

1. Open the domain settings
   “Domains” tab → “Settings” in the row of the domain you need.
2. Fill in the “Promo codes” block
   Type the code, set the bonus in percent and click “Create”. The code is automatically turned into capital letters.
3. Tell your audience about the code
   It works best in a call to action: Promotion, Templates.

Example#

A seller comes from your YouTube video and uses the code SKINS10 with a 10% bonus.

The code costs you nothing: it only makes the offer stand out and shows where the seller came from.

Choosing a code and bonus#

• Short and tied to the channel. A nickname or channel name is easy to remember and say out loud in a video: ALEX, TGSKINS.
• One code per channel. The number of uses then shows right away which source works. Pairs well with tracking links.
• A bonus that fits the goal. A small bonus suits a permanent link in a description, a bigger one — a one-off promo or a blogger integration.
• Put the deadline in the text, not the code. Codes have no end date: when the promo is over, just disable the code.

Limits#

• Up to 20 promo codes per partner.
• The maximum bonus is set by the ZFlow team — up to 30% by default. The allowed value is shown as you type.
• The code: Latin letters, digits, _ and -, from 3 to 24 characters.
• A code is unique across the whole service: if it is taken, the system tells you so.

Managing codes#

• Disable / Enable — the code stops working, but its statistics remain.
• Delete — removes the code completely. If a code has already been used, it cannot be deleted — only disabled.
