Kickbooster's "Extra Parameters" feature allows Shopify program owners to append custom parameters to their referral links. This enables you to track Kickbooster conversions through third-party tracking software, providing you with insights to your referral programs.

In this article we cover the following:

What are Extra Parameters?

Extra parameters are custom tags added to the end of your referral links. These tags can capture additional information about the traffic and conversions generated through your links, which can then be tracked using third-party analytics and tracking software.

Benefits of Using Extra Parameters

Enhanced Tracking: Collect more detailed data about your referral traffic.
Integration with Third-Party Tools: Use the data collected to track conversions through other analytics and tracking platforms.

How to Set Up Extra Parameters

Step 1: Access Your Program's Settings

Login to your Kickbooster account

Access your Kickbooster account and navigate to the specific program's settings and go to "Extra redirect params" section.

Step 2: Define and Add Extra Parameters

Add Your Parameters

You will see a field to add extra parameters to your referral link. Define your custom parameters here. Common parameters include:
- utm_source
- utm_medium
- utm_campaign
- Any custom parameter that suits your tracking needs.

Format Parameters Correctly

Parameters should follow the format: parameter_name=parameter_value. Multiple parameters should be separated by &. For example:
```
utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=summer_sale
```
