Glossary

Every word we use, defined once.

44 terms from the platform, the money and the marketplace, in plain language. Each has its own link.

A

Acceptance #
When an invited marketer signs in with a code and takes a link or an offer. From then on the link is theirs and, on an automatic offer, their reward rate is locked at that level or higher.
Allocated budget #
Money a brand has moved from its wallet to one campaign. It is locked there: it pays rewards and the platform fee for that campaign only, and returns to the wallet when the campaign closes.
Automatic reward #
The reward mode where the brand gives a target, a deadline and the most it will pay per result, and the platform sets the reward between a floor and that cap, showing the offer to best-fit marketers first and adjusting hourly against pace.

B

Budget floor #
The least a brand may pay per result on an automatic offer, set by the typical order value: ₹20 for sign-ups and installs, rising with the ticket size.

C

Campaign #
A marketer's copy of an offer, or any link a marketer chose to track: the links, the live view and the results for one thing they promote.
Cap #
The most a brand will pay per result on an automatic offer. The reward never goes above it.
Channel #
Where a link was opened from: WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, Telegram, a browser, a QR scan. Shown on every open.
City #
Where an open came from, at city level. Never a street or an exact location.
Counted result #
A result the platform recorded against a link: a sign-up reported by the snippet, an order reported by a marketplace, a step reported by the brand's system. Rewards are paid on counted results only.

D

Deadline #
The date by which an automatic offer wants its target. Pace is measured against it; when it passes the offer pauses itself.

F

Fee #
The platform's 15% on top of each reward, paid by the brand from the campaign budget. Marketers pay nothing.
Fit score #
How likely a marketer is to deliver a given offer, from what they said at sign-up (categories, channels, audience) and what they have delivered before. It decides when they see an automatic offer, not what they are paid.
Forwarding estimate #
How far a link travelled through chats after it was shared, estimated from preview fetches. Shown as a range, not a count of people.
Frame view #
A way of opening a page you do not control so the platform can still show who is on it and where. Described by benefit on the Live view page.
Full view #
The level of tracking available when the brand's own page carries the snippet: pages visited, time on page, the result itself.

G

Goal #
What the brand pays for: a sign-up, an install, an order, a booking, an approved application. Chosen per offer.
Grace period #
The seven days after a subscription lapses during which funded campaigns keep running before they pause.

H

Hold #
A result that has been reported but not yet confirmed (an application under review, an order inside its return window). Shown as pending; paid on confirmation.

I

Invitation #
A brand asking a specific person to hold a link, or a marketer asking a brand to see a campaign's numbers. Nothing happens until the invited person signs in with a code and accepts.

L

Learning phase #
The first three days of an automatic offer, when the platform changes the reward in smaller steps and widens the audience more readily to find the price quickly.
Live view #
The screen that shows each open as it happens with its channel and city, who is on the page now, and each result the moment it is counted.
Locked rate #
On an automatic offer, the reward a marketer accepted at. Raises apply to them; cuts for newcomers never do.

M

Marketer #
Anyone who shares links: a creator, a group admin, a channel partner, an agency, a student, a customer. Free for life on Shopmycode.
Marketplace #
Where marketers see open offers with the reward stated and whether there is room left. Also published signed-out at /marketplace.

O

One-time code #
The only way to sign in: a code sent to your email or WhatsApp, valid for a few minutes. There are no passwords.
Open #
Someone tapped or scanned a link. Opens are shown but never paid for.

P

Pace #
Results so far against the results a target needed by now. Under 70% is behind; over 130% is ahead.
Pause #
A campaign stops paying new results: because the budget ran out, the target was reached, the deadline passed, the brand paused it, or the subscription lapsed. Links keep working.
Placement #
One place a link is shared: a reel, a story, the link in bio, a group, a poster. The unit of learning.
Promo code #
A code a marketer can carry alongside their link, so a shopper who types it at checkout is still attributed to them.

R

Reserve #
An optional share of a campaign's budget kept back so the campaign pauses a little early rather than at zero.
Result #
See counted result. What the brand defines and pays for.
Reversal #
A counted result taken back: a returned order, a cancelled booking, a fake sign-up. The reward and the fee return to the budget and the reason is visible to both sides.
Reward #
What the marketer earns per counted result, stated on the offer. Credited to the wallet the moment the result is counted; marketers keep 100%.
Room left #
How many more results a campaign's remaining budget can pay for. Shown to marketers as a number or as 'plenty' / 'running low', never as the brand's balance.

S

Snippet #
One line the brand adds to its own page so results are counted there and pages visited are shown. Optional; nothing is needed for pages the brand does not control.
Standard #
The level of tracking on any link with nothing installed: opens, channel, city, device, who is on the page now, second visits.
Subscription #
₹4,999 + GST a year (₹499 + GST a month, sold annually) that lets a brand run funded campaigns. Link tracking without rewards is free.

T

Target #
How many results an automatic offer wants by its deadline. The offer pauses itself when it gets there.
TDS #
Tax deducted at source on marketer payouts where Indian law requires it, shown on the statement.
Tranche #
Which marketers can see an automatic offer right now: the best fit first, then good fit, then everyone. It widens when the offer is behind pace.

W

Wallet (brand) #
Prepaid credit a brand adds through PayU or bank transfer and allocates to campaigns. Not a deposit; unspent campaign budget returns to it.
Wallet (marketer) #
Where rewards land the moment a result is counted, and from which withdrawals are made by UPI or bank transfer (minimum ₹100).
