You can then copy the affiliate link generated with your affiliate ID. You can then use this link on your website, in an email, on a banner, or anywhere you like. When someone clicks on your link, it places a cookie in their browser that lasts for 60 days. You will then get credited for the sale when anyone purchases a Kinsta plan within that time.
