Your coupon code
A personal discount code for your audience
Every partner gets a unique coupon in addition to their referral link.
๐๏ธ
How the coupon works
You receive a unique code in the format SHIELDxxx. Share it with your audience โ anyone who enters it at checkout gets a 20% discount on their purchase. After each successful redemption, your code automatically rotates to a new one, preventing over-sharing and protecting its value. Your current code is always visible in the Partners panel of your account.
Attribution & tracking
How we track your referrals
We use a 60-day browser cookie combined with extension-level attribution for maximum accuracy.
๐ช
Browser cookie (60 days)
When someone clicks your link, a cookie is saved in their browser. If they install the extension and request a key within 60 days โ even after clearing localStorage โ the referral is still attributed to you.
๐งฉ
Extension-level cookie read
Our Chrome extension reads the referral cookie directly from the browser's cookie store when a user requests their activation key. This means attribution works even if the user navigated away from your link or cleared their site data.
๐
Attribution is locked
Once a referral is recorded, it cannot be overwritten. If the same user encounters multiple referral links, only the first attribution counts. This protects your commissions.
โ ๏ธ When attribution may not work (~10% of cases)
The user clicked your link on one device/browser but installed the extension on a different one.
The user cleared all cookies and browser data before requesting a key.
The user opened your link in an Incognito window and then installed in a regular window.
โ Tip: share your coupon code alongside the link โ coupon attribution always works regardless of device or browser.
Payouts
Simple, automatic payouts

30-day hold
Commissions are auto-approved 30 days after the purchase date to allow for refund windows.
๐ฐ
$30 minimum

PayPal
All payments are sent via PayPal. We'll contact you once your payout is ready for processing.
