Affiliate source wishmail

OvertheBrick

I just noticed several of my orders have an affiliate source of "wishmail". There is no fee attached to it but I am curious. What is it exactly ?

It's Brickowl's email to members with items on their wishlist, that you recently listed!

I forgot I did that, just to reiterate that, it doesn't use the affiliate system and there never is/will be a seperate charge for it. You can use the same system for tracking your own marketing campaigns by adding ?utm_source=campaignname to any links you share.

Can you explain in more detail?
Does this system write a cookie to the users PC and then when an order is placed it looks for cookies? If so, how does it deal with multiple campaigns?

Does this show up as an arrow on the orders page? Like Wall of Bricks a Rebrickable?

Yes yes and yes. The most recent source is used. On Facebook it may add its own anyway.

I've just tested this and it works very well Pretty sure I've just received an order via Facebook but I forgot to implement this previously so will never know!
