### Building a referral link

A partner's referral URL is their code plus campaign tags:

  https://validatedpeptides.com/?ref=CODE&utm_source=affiliate_CHANNEL&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=code

- `ref` is the partner's affiliate code. It applies their customer discount automatically and credits the referral.
- `utm_source` should be `affiliate_` followed by where the link is posted, e.g. `affiliate_instagram`, `affiliate_website`, `affiliate_youtube`. The prefix matters: a bare `instagram` or `facebook` is read as paid advertising and misattributes the referral.
- `utm_medium` is always `affiliate`.
- `utm_campaign` is the partner code in lower case.

Any path works, so a link can point at a specific product: `https://validatedpeptides.com/products/bpc-157?ref=CODE&utm_source=affiliate_website&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=code`

Partners get their code and a ready-made link on the signup confirmation and in their dashboard, where the copyable field carries `data-affiliate-link` and the surrounding block carries `data-affiliate-code`.
