We understand that sometimes you want to use third-parties to also sell your products and services. In order to better track the utilization and calculate the Return on Investment (ROI) on these partnerships, we have enabled a special URL parameter that will attach to any purchase a user makes from that link. That parameter is src.
The parameter allows for letters, numbers, dashes, and underscores. All other special characters and spaces will be removed.
