Managing your affiliate referral codes


Approved affiliates can have multiple referral codes, each with its own URL, optional custom landing page, optional coupon override, and optional UTM tracking. This article explains how the codes card works and when to use multiple codes.

The referral codes card

The codes card sits on the affiliate dashboard. It lists every code tied to your affiliate account along with its active state, the landing-page URL, and a copy action.


The affiliate referral codes card


What's in a code

Each code has the following:


  • Code - the short identifier that gets appended to URLs (e.g. yourname produces simplyprint.io/?code=yourname).
  • Landing page - by default the SimplyPrint homepage. You can request a specific landing page per code if you want to send traffic to (for example) simplyprint.io/features/slicer or simplyprint.io/print-farm.
  • Coupon override - the discount the visitor sees on signup. By default this is your affiliate's standard coupon (typically 30% off for 3 months); a code can override it with a different one.
  • Pretty name override - a friendlier name shown on the landing page if you don't want the default ("Brought to you by [your affiliate pretty name]").
  • Testimonial override - an optional testimonial shown on the landing page tied to that code.
  • Extended trial days override - a different trial-day count for visitors who sign up via this code.
  • UTM campaign and medium - tracking parameters that flow into SimplyPrint's analytics.
  • Active state - whether the code is currently accepting referrals.
  • Active-at and expires-at dates - optional schedule controlling when the code is live.


The main code vs additional codes

On approval, you get one main code generated automatically based on your name or channel. The main code is what's used in the promotional asset pack and is the one shown most prominently across the dashboard. You can request more codes through support.


The main code is the default for things like the promotional asset pack and email signature; additional codes are usually for campaigns or specific platforms.


When to use multiple codes

A few common patterns:


  • Per-platform attribution. A YouTube code, a website code, and a podcast code so you can see which platform converts best.
  • Per-campaign tracking. A code per video series or per launch so you can measure individual campaigns.
  • Audience-specific landing pages. A "schools" code that lands visitors on the schools landing page, and a "print-farm" code that lands on the print-farm landing page.
  • Special promotions. A time-limited code with a stronger coupon override (e.g. 40% off for 6 months) for a launch.


Commission is paid the same way regardless of which code was used. The codes are for tracking and routing, not for changing your earnings.


Custom landing pages

A landing page override means visitors who click your code's URL are routed to a specific page on simplyprint.io rather than the homepage. The visitor still gets attributed to you, the discount still applies, and the signup CTA still uses your code.


This matters when the page that converts best for your audience isn't the homepage. A 3D printing tutorial channel might do better routing viewers straight to /features/slicer. A print farm reseller might route to /print-farm.


To request a custom landing page on one of your codes, reach out to support with the code name and the destination URL.


Coupon overrides

Each code can have its own coupon override. This changes what visitors who use the code see at signup, without affecting commission.


For example, your default could be 30% off for 3 months, and a launch-specific code could offer 50% off for the first month. The signup discount is paid out of SimplyPrint's margin; your commission percentages don't change.


Stronger discounts often convert better short-term but reduce the first-month commission base (because commission is on what's paid, not on the sticker price). Worth considering when picking the override.


UTM tracking

You can set utm_campaign and utm_medium per code. These flow through with the visitor and show up in SimplyPrint's analytics so the team can see which campaigns are driving signups.


If you're running analytics on your own end (Google Analytics, etc), you can also append your own UTM parameters to the URL on top of these. SimplyPrint preserves the full query string.


Copying and sharing a code

Each row in the codes card has a copy button. Click it and the full URL (with the code applied) goes to your clipboard. From there you paste it into a video description, blog post, social bio, email, or anywhere else.


For more polished sharing, use the promotional asset pack which pre-bakes your code into banners, snippets, and badges.


Requesting more codes or changing a code

All code creation, landing-page changes, coupon overrides, and pretty-name updates are currently handled by SimplyPrint support. Email contact@simplyprint.io with what you need:


  • New code: send the requested code name and any landing-page / coupon / UTM details.
  • Update existing code: send the current code name and what should change.
  • Deactivate / expire a code: send the code name and the effective date.


Codes have to be globally unique. If your requested code is taken, support will suggest alternatives.
