I have placed an order on Digistore24

Promocode

The promocode is a function for recognizing affiliate links and is used for affiliate assignment.

The promocode is a JavaScript provided by Digistore24, which recognizes the affiliate ID in affiliate links and passes it to the next page. With the promo code, it can be ensured that the affiliate ID is passed through the entire funnel to the order form.

Vendors can embed the promocode in their funnel pages, such as sales pages. Affiliates can then directly promote these promocode pages by extending a link to the promocode page with their affiliate ID and distributing it to potential buyers.

Example:

  1. A vendor has embedded the promocode in their sales page with the URL https://www.promocode-seite.de.
  2. An affiliate extends the URL with their own affiliate ID to https://www.promocode-seite.de#Affiliate-ID and distributes this affiliate link to potential buyers.
  3. A potential buyer clicks on the affiliate link and lands on the promocode page.
  4. When the promocode page is accessed, the embedded promocode recognizes the affiliate link and stores it in a cookie.
  5. The potential buyer navigates from the promocode page to another page, such as by clicking the buy button on a sales page and thus accessing the order form.
  6. The promocode recognizes the page call and passes the stored affiliate ID to the URL of the next page. For example, the affiliate ID is passed from the sales page to the order form URL. The order form now knows the affiliate.
  7. If the potential buyer makes the purchase on the order form, Digistore24 can correctly assign the affiliate.

The first line calls the JavaScript from Digistore24.

The second line identifies the advertised product via the placeholder PRODUCT_ID.

<script type='text/javascript'> digistorePromocode( "PRODUCT_ID" ); </script>

Vendors can embed the promocode in the sales page or in content pages.

Affiliates can promote a webpage with a promocode using affiliate links.

When a potential buyer accesses the webpage with the promocode via an affiliate link, the promocode reads the affiliate ID from the link. When the potential buyer navigates from the page with the promocode to another page, the promo code appends the affiliate ID to the URL of the other page. Thus, the promocode ensures that the affiliate ID is passed from page to page until it reaches the order form.

This ensures affiliate assignment.
