Hi everyone,
Is there a way to track where a customer came from in a referral sale? For example, did they click on my design on Pinterest, Facebook, etc.? I would find it helpful if I knew which platform was giving me the best return on my time.
Thanks so much!
Carolyn
This only applies if you’re NOT in Zazzle’s Promoter Program, and it won’t work retrospectively:
If you include a tracking code on your link that indicates where you shared / pinned it then you will be able to tell where your successes come from.
A tracking code is added after your referral (aka associate) id in the link, like this:
https://zazzle.com/…?rf=nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn&tc=your_tracking_code
It’s up to you what you use for your tracking codes, just make sure you only use letters, digits and underscores.
When someone follows such a link and you successfully make a referral sale or sales, then you’ll see the tracking code mentioned in your Referral History Report in the first column of each such sale.
I tend to use tracking codes that say where the link was posted, the theme of the design and the date I pinned/shared the link. For example: &tc=pntrst_wedding_stationery_093021
I hope that helps 
Hmmmm… That does help. Thank you for your response. I’m part of the promoter program so I guess I’m out of luck. It seems like a crazy way to do business, right? I would love to be able to tell where my conversions are coming from. Thanks again!
Yes, I believe I asked about being able to add a tracking code in the promoter program in the old forum. I don’t remember getting a response.
