SaaSquatch by impact.com automatically generates unique share links and referral codes for each of your participants to use when they refer friends in your different programs. To allow for a more personalized sharing experience, we offer you the ability to create vanity share links or vanity referral codes for individual participants.
Vanity links and codes must be unique to that participant. Additionally, like all share links and referral codes, they can only be associated with one specific program (if you have more than one running). Each participant can have multiple vanity links and codes active at the same time.
We typically recommend vanity share information when you want to provide a personalized, memorable link or code for a well-known or top-performing referrer, such as an affiliate or partner. One example would be a social media influencer who shares their referral code for your program in their posts or captions, especially as part of a targeted campaign (such as 10% off their first purchase as a new user).

All vanity share links and codes are managed on individual participants' profiles. To view this information on a participant’s profile:
Go to the Participants page and select the participant whose code you want to change. This opens their participant profile.
Select the Codes and Links tab below the participant’s program info.
You can convert an existing referral code to a vanity code, or create a new vanity code.
