FAQs:
Will codes be automatically generated for each creator?
Yes, once your Code Discount is live, codes will automatically populate for each creator as soon as they are accepted or added into the program. The code will follow the format designated in the code settings and will refer to your ecomm to avoid generating a preexisting discount code.
How will creators receive their code?
Creators will receive their code in their Welcome Email and be able to view their code from their Creator Hub dashboard at any time.
Can I change a creator's code?
Yes, codes can be individually edited/customized from a creator's profile in LoudCrowd by clicking the pencil icon next to their Affiliate code.
Can I customize the code format (e.g. add a specific prefix/suffix to each code)?
At this time, we do not support custom prefix/suffix additions. Each code will render in one of the two base formats: first & last name (e.g. MARY, MARYK), or social username (e.g. MARYDOESMAKEUP).
Can I delete a creator's code?
Yes, you can delete an individual creator's code from their profile in LoudCrowd.
Can I set a different code discount for specific creator(s) in my program?
At this time, the code discount settings in LoudCrowd will determine the discount logic for all creators in a given program.
What happens if a creator's code is leaked?
We recommend deleting or changing the code to avoid future code abuse; your LoudCrowd team will also be on the lookout and inform you of any potentially leaked codes. However, it is up to the brand on whether/how to take action if this occurs.
