Create a Promo Code

A promo code, similar to a coupon code, is a unique value string that customers can enter into a field at checkout in order to receive a discount. However, unlike coupon codes, with impact.com's Tracking Promo Codes, you can add crediting logic that attributes the sale or conversion to a specific partner or media source. This gives customers incentive to buy from your brand and strengthens your relationships with partners.

  1. From the left navigation menu, select engage-icon__v69b8313.svg [Engage] → Content → Promo Codes.

  2. In the upper-right, select Create Promo Code → Tracking.

  3. Fill in the relevant fields.

    • Refer to the Settings reference table below for help with creating a promo code.

  4. Select Save when you're done.

Description

Media

Select the partner or media source (learn more about media sources, aka Networks) to assign this promo code. The selected partner is the only partner that can receive credit for this code. All other partner sales using this code will be considered an invalid conversion.

Credit Policy

Control when a partner or media source gets credit for a conversion when the promo code is used:

  • Always credit — promo code always gets credit

    Note: Clicks from partners to whom promo codes with the Always credit policy is assigned won't be tracked by impact.com. Partners will still receive credit but no clicks will be recorded in the reporting.

  • Credit If involved — promo code only gets credit if the partner drove clicks

  • Credit If winner — promo code only gets credit if the partner drove the winning click

Match Type

  • Exact — the promo code must exactly match in order for the partner to receive credit.

  • Regular Expression (Advanced) [Regex] — regular expression is used for matching the promo code used.

    • See Regex Explained for more information on how to use regex to match your promo codes.
