How to share your affiliate link

Copy your /r/CODE or ?ref=CODE affiliate link, share it carefully across channels, and remember last click wins inside the referral cookie window.

How to share your affiliate link

After you join the program, NextShopper gives you a unique referral URL. Both /r/CODE and ?ref=CODE forms work. Attribution uses last click wins inside the cookie window: if someone clicks another affiliate later, that later click is credited instead.

This guide shows how to copy your link from Affiliates and share it without breaking tracking.

Who this guide is for

Enrolled affiliates promoting domains, hosting, email, or SSL
Partners embedding links in videos, posts, or newsletters
Anyone whose clicks are not converting to signups

Before you start

Complete How to join the affiliate program until Your link appears.
Copy the link with Copy link (confirmation: Copied).
Avoid wrapping the URL in tools that strip query parameters unless you verified /r/CODE still resolves.
Do not run paid ads that violate platform rules or NextShopper policies—read Acceptable Use / terms.

Step-by-step: copy and share

Open Affiliates.
Under Your link, read the help: copy into ads or messages; /r/CODE and ?ref=CODE both work; last click wins.
Select Copy link.
Paste into your channel (bio, blog CTA, email, QR that encodes the full URL).
Optionally note your Code separately if you build custom ?ref= links to deep storefront pages (for example a hosting URL with ?ref=CODE).
Ask a friend to click once, then confirm Clicks increases on your dashboard.

Sharing tips that protect attribution

Prefer the clean /r/CODE redirect for short links.
If you use shorteners, test that the final hop still hits NextShopper with your code.
Do not add spaces or line breaks mid-URL in PDFs.
Disclose affiliate relationships where local rules require it.

What happens next / how to verify success

Clicks rises.
New Signups appear when referred users register through your link.
Paid referred invoices create Commissions in Pending, then Available after the hold.

Common problems

Problem	What to try
Clicks not counting	Test private window; disable blockers once; verify exact URL
Signup without credit	User may have used another ref last; cookie expired; self-referral blocked
Link 404	Confirm code on Affiliates page; re-copy
Deep link lost ref	Ensure `?ref=CODE` survives; or send people via `/r/CODE` first
Shared wrong code	Re-copy from portal; update posts

Frequently asked questions

Can I share on Facebook/LinkedIn?
Yes if those platforms allow affiliate disclosure and your content follows their rules.

Does opening /r/CODE while logged in as me credit me?
Self-referral is blocked—use a different browser/person for tests when possible.

Can I have multiple codes?
The portal issues one affiliate identity/link unless staff configures otherwise.

Is commission on renewals?
Follow the commissions table on your Affiliates page for what actually credited.
