No Referral (4x Attempts)

[YesItsRoy]

Well, now. In attempting to earn a Self-Referral today, I learned how to not earn one. 😂

Process:  Clear cookies, paste Clean Link into browser URL bar, change name on custom Design, Add to Cart, log in, check out.  I clear cookies before the first order and after each order.  I do this b/c the Z system has been wonky on Referrals since the beginning of time. And I place orders on a second computer where I don't do any other Zazzle work. 

Order numbers below are for my reference. Third-party cookies and Java on/off are references to my browser settings for Zazzle on that machine.  "New customize interface" refers to the new interface a customer may see now which I believe to be in A/B testing.

Order ID 131-41781193-1857009  

Third-party cookies off > Java turned on in window (off by default) > new customize interface > no Referral

Order ID 131-50534084-3691429   

Third-party cookies off > Java turned on in settings > new customize interface > no Referral

Order ID 131-29253922-7487801 

Third-party cookies off > Java on in settings > old customize interface > no Referral

Order ID 131-15173342-8667631 

Third party cookies on > Java on in settings > new customize interface > no Referral

On my last attempt, Order ID 131-24178869-5605323, I turned off four Chrome Browser Extensions:

- UBlock Origin

- User-Agent Spoofer

- All Fingerprint Defender

- Fingerprint Spoofer

And once turned off, I earned the Referral (old interface). 

So if you're working closely with a friend or relative or even a customer where you're comfortable saying "The site might not work as intended, if you have blocking-type extensions enabled in your browser; you might turn those off, place your order, and then turn them back on," that might help your Referral game.  Nowhere in such a statement are there any untruths -- the site is intended for us to earn Referrals. 😊

IMPORTANT ETA:  I just noticed that the Discount Code didn't auto apply on the first four orders!  THAT would be a motivating factor to someone making a purchase!

I created group shirts for a family member last week. Sent her a link to my collection (not to the individual products) via a text message.

She purchased four shirts via that link. I received four referrals.

No clearing of cookies, incognito mode, switching of browsers, etc. required.

She did not personalize anything since I created the designs specifically for her. Don’t know if that makes a difference.

Even in Vegas we win a hand occasionally! 😉 Congrats on the sale!
