Static coupons & Anti-leak coupons
Static Coupons and Anti-Leak Coupons both help you offer discounts to customers; however, they work in different ways and are useful for different goals.
The comparison below explains how each type works, their key benefits, and how to choose the right option for your affiliate program.
How it works
Each affiliate receives a fixed, visible discount code that customers manually enter at checkout.
No code is assigned. Discounts are automatically applied when customers arrive through an affiliate link.
Best for
Influencers, content creators, or campaigns that rely on visible promo codes.
Brands wanting strict control over discount usage and prevention of coupon leakage.
Promotion style
Affiliates share the coupon code or link; customers must type in the code unless auto-apply is enabled.
Affiliates only share their affiliate link; the discount applies instantly at checkout.
Customization
Allows merchants to create branded or fully customized coupon codes.
No visible code exists, so customization is not applicable.
Customer usage flexibility

Discounts apply only when customers arrive through the affiliate’s link.
