Can I use a custom Kickstarter referral link for my advertising?
Edited
Yes, you can!
A Kickstarter referral link is one that includes a special "ref=_____" code in the url. In theory, this provides a way to distribute anonymized links to your Kickstarter project page that will segregate referrals back to a known purpose. You can learn more about this on Kickstarter's support center.
We typically require collaborator access for Kickstarter campaigns we're promoting, so we will automatically generate a referral link and use it for our advertising. However, you are also welcome to pre-generate one and provide it to us via email.
