Creator codes

Give creators a code players type at checkout. Track sales per code and work out what each creator earned.

Creator codes are checkout codes you use to attribute purchases back to creators. When a Tebex purchase comes in with that code, Analyse tracks the revenue and the creator's cut for you.

They're the easiest possible revenue-share deal. No custom tracking pixels, no shady spreadsheets, no arguments about attribution. The code is the source of truth.

Plan

You'll need your Tebex store connected (see Connect your store) for revenue to flow in.

When to use creator codes vs campaigns

You can use both. They solve different problems.

CampaignsCreator codes
Track where a player joined fromTrack where a purchase was prompted from
First-touch attribution, permanentCode is entered on each purchase
Great for sponsorships and ad buysGreat for long-term affiliate deals
Pay per playerPay per sale

Big servers usually give each creator both: a Campaign subdomain for joins, and a Code for checkout. That way you reward both the "bringing players" side and the "pushing purchases" side.

Creating a code

  1. 1

    Open your Server then Creator codes

    In the sidebar.

  2. 2

    Click "New code"

    Pick a short, memorable code (e.g. PEWDS, SCOTT, DREAM10) and use that same code in your checkout flow.

  3. 3

    Choose the discount

    A percentage off (0-100). Set it to 0 for a pure tracker code that doesn't give a discount.

  4. 4

    Set the commission rate

    This is the percentage of revenue the creator earns for sales that use the code. It's purely a reporting number (Analyse won't send money), but it makes your own finance math easy later.

  5. 5

    Link Campaigns (optional)

    You can tie a code to one or more Campaigns so the code's dashboard groups its sales under those Campaigns for easier internal reporting. This link is used inside your own dashboard, not on the public Campaign share link.

  6. 6

    Save

    The code is now available in Analyse for attribution and reporting.

What happens at checkout

When Tebex sends a purchase that includes this creator code:

  • The purchase is tagged with the code in Analyse
  • Revenue is added to that creator's total
  • The creator's cut is calculated for you

Per-creator dashboard

Each code gets its own page showing:

  • Stat cards: revenue, purchases, customers, average order
  • Revenue and purchases charts over time
  • Commission earned and discount given
  • Linked Campaigns
  • Recent purchases (customer + amount + date)

This is the page to show a creator (or pull into your own finance spreadsheet) when working out what a code has actually earned.

Paying creators

Analyse does not send money on your behalf. If you've agreed a revenue share with a creator, calculate their cut from the code's total revenue (multiply by the percentage you agreed) and pay them however you normally would: PayPal, bank, whatever.

Coming soon

Automated payout tracking (per-period "owed" / "paid" state and public share links for creators) is on our roadmap. Let us know in Discord if you'd like it prioritized.

Tips

  • Use the creator's handle as the code. PEWDS is better than SUMMER20, because it signals who they are to the player.
  • Always give the creator both a Campaign and a Code. You'll get the richest story when you can compare the two.
  • Expire old codes. If you cycle deals, expire the code at the end of the period so the creator can't keep driving comped revenue.
