What are Secure Links?
Secure Links are special affiliate links that generate unique, one-time-use discount codes for each customer when they click a link and land on your Shopify store. They allow affiliates to promote your offers while keeping coupon codes safe from leaks or abuse.
Why Use Secure Links?
Sharing static discount codes can lead to them being leaked or misused. Secure Links help solve this by:
Creating individual, single-use codes for each shopper
Reducing the risk of coupon abuse
Letting affiliates promote discounts without compromising security
Making the checkout experience seamless and personalized
How It Works
You provide a discount offer when setting up your referral program (e.g., 10% off).
Kickbooster generates a unique Secure Link for each affiliate.
When a customer clicks that link, a single-use coupon code is automatically generated and applied at checkout.
Once used, that code can’t be reused by anyone else.
Benefits for Merchants
Control: Prevents your codes from ending up on coupon sites.
Security: Reduces the risk of over-discounting or fraud.
Trust: Creates a better experience for affiliates and customers alike.
How to Enable Secure Links
When creating or editing your referral program:
Go to your Referral Program settings.
In the Attributions settings, choose to track referrals using Secure Links.
Then set your Discount settings (amount, eligibility, etc.).
Save your changes.
Kickbooster will connect with your Shopify store and handle all the code generation and tracking automatically.
