Avelon wins Best Value, Best Functionality & Features, Best Ease of Use and Best Customer Support on Capterra. Smart Referral Pages
Unlike just posting a promo code, Smart Referral Pages highlight the benefits of your referral and explains your connection to the brand.
This helps your friends and followers feel confident in what you’re promoting and enhances tracking – which is why affiliates who use referral pages typically drive 2.6x more sales than those who post promo codes!
The best part? Your smart referral page link will never change, but the content inside the page such as your promo code, its validity and the discount % it provides, will automatically update for you.
That’s right. You’ll never have to keep track of your promo codes ever again. Oh and if the brand is using Shopify, we’ll automatically apply the discount code at the checkout for the consumer.

How to post your Smart referral page link
Do I have to post a link instead of a discount code?
Posting a referral page link instead of a discount code provides a ton of benefits, including:
- Enhanced trust from the consumer through a branded referral page
- Advanced tracking which, in turn, results in way more sales and commission
- Eliminates promo code websites getting hold of your code
Benefits of Smart Referral Pages
1. They keep track of your promo codes for you
Smart referral pages eliminate this issue and checks your code validity every time the page is loaded – and if the code is no longer valid – it’ll create a new one, assign it to you in Avelon and update it on the page for you.
2. They enhance tracking and conversion rates
What happens if you promote a brand, provide a discount code to your audience and then they find a better discount code online? Newsflash: you don’t get paid a commission – but with Smart referral pages, you do.
Smart referral pages make the user click your link which then enables us to drop a cookie on them. That cookie then tracks the user for a certain amount of time – so even if they don’t use your discount code and use someone else’s, you’ll still get attributed a sale.
In BETA testing, affiliates drove 2.6x more sales through Smart referral pages than just posting discount codes.
3. They are branded on your behalf
Want to increase trust with your audience? Smart referral pages are designed according to the brands guidelines with custom fonts, logos and background imagery.
No more spammy looking referral pages, thank you.
4. They filter out bot traffic
Smart referral pages use our renowned anti-bot technology to eliminate bot traffic and show true conversion rates. We even use some pretty nifty tricks to ensure your discount code (and commissions) can’t be stolen by discount code websites like PayPal Honey.
More tracking for the brand? Check. More commission for you? Check.
5. Your link never changes
Promo codes are assigned to your Smart referral page and can be updated at the click of a button. Think of it like your own website. Your website URL never changes.
If you’ve been assigned multiple promo codes on Avelon from a brand, you’ll be able to change which promo code is shown on your Smart Referral Page at any time, too.
