Unique Referral Links

Overview

Unique Referral Links in Deposyt allow you to track where your sales come from by automatically attributing customers, revenue, and commissions to partners or affiliates. This system works in the background without requiring manual effort.

Follow the steps below to understand Unique Referral Links in the Messages module.

Step 1: What a Unique Referral Link Is

A Unique Referral Link is a custom URL tied to a specific partner or affiliate.

When someone clicks that link:

• Deposyt identifies who referred the visitor
• Tracks their activity (click → signup → purchase)
• Attributes any resulting revenue to that partner

This happens automatically in the background.

Step 2: How It Works

Partner Gets Their Link
Each partner or affiliate is assigned a unique link, such as:

• A funnel link
• A checkout page
• A booking page
• A store page

The link includes tracking tied directly to that partner.

They Share the Link
Partners can use their link anywhere:

• Social media
• Email campaigns
• Paid ads
• Direct messages

Customer Clicks the Link
When a customer clicks:

• Deposyt stores the referral data
• The customer is now tied to that partner

Customer Purchases
If the customer buys:

• The sale is automatically attributed
• Commission is calculated
• An entry is added to the partner ledger

Future Purchases Are Tracked
The relationship continues beyond the first sale.

Partners can earn on:

• Upsells / downsells
• Subscription renewals
• Future purchases

As long as the attribution remains tied.

Step 3: What Makes Deposyt Different

Deposyt does not just track a single click—it tracks the full customer lifecycle.

That means:

• One link can generate long-term recurring revenue
• Attribution carries across multiple products and transactions
• You do not need to manually assign partners in most cases

---

Step 4: Where Referral Links Can Be Used

Unique referral links can be generated for:

• Funnels and checkout pages
• Online store products
• Service booking pages
• Landing pages

Each link can be tracked separately.

---

Step 5: Tracking Across Multiple Links

Partners can have multiple links for different purposes:

• One for Instagram
• One for YouTube
• One for ads
• One per product or offer

This allows you to see:

• Which channels perform best
• Which offers convert highest
• Where your revenue is coming from

---

Step 6: Attribution Rules (Important)

First Click / Last Click (Based on Your Setup)
Deposyt tracks attribution based on your system rules.
Typically, the first or most recent referral link ties the customer to a partner.

One Partner Per Customer
A customer is tied to one partner at a time for attribution.

Attribution Carries Forward
Once assigned:

• Future purchases remain linked
• Including subscriptions and upgrades

Manual Override Is Available
If needed, you can still:

• Assign a partner manually (invoice, Virtual Terminal)
• Correct attribution when necessary

---

Step 7: Example

A partner shares a link to your offer:

• A customer clicks the link
• Signs up and buys a $100 product
• The partner earns 20% = $20

Later:

• The customer upgrades to $200/month
• The partner continues earning on future payments

---

Step 8: Best Practices

Give One Primary Link

• Start with one high-converting page
• Expand later

Encourage Consistent Use

• Ensure partners always use their link
• Avoid sending traffic without tracking

Use Multiple Links for Tracking

• Create channel-specific links
• Create offer-specific links

Monitor Performance
Track:

• Clicks
• Conversions
• Revenue per link

Then optimize what works best.

Combine With Manual Assignment When Needed

• Use referral links for online sales
• Assign manually for offline sales

---

Step 9: Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Sharing generic links instead of tracked ones
• Sending traffic without attribution
• Not testing links before sharing
• Creating too many links without tracking performance
