How Cashback & Coupon affiliates work
Cashback
- High conversion rates (typically 15–25%+ for logged-in and loyal users).
- Strong retention driver: users get part of their purchase back.
- Perfect fit for repeat orders and loyalty.
- Tracking via Business League proprietary tracking codes, implemented in your store and mobile apps.
Coupons
- Triggers undecided users with a clear incentive (code / punctual offer).
- Works for both new and returning customers.
- Great synergy with your promotions (seasonal campaigns, launches, clearance).
- No need for extra pixels/tags — only collaboration acceptance and use of Business League proprietary tracking codes.
Cashback & Coupons complement other affiliate sources (CSS, editorial content, influencers) and your own channels (paid, email, social) — full-funnel coverage. These channels not only convert their own traffic, but also boost conversion rates on your existing marketing efforts (e.g. Ads campaigns). They perform even better when part of a funnel where you also run Google Ads, Google CSS or Microsoft Ads via affiliation.

- Minimal: you only need to implement Business League tracking codes in your store and mobile apps. No extra pixels/tags are required.
- Can I work with them only for limited periods?
