Can I run promotional offers or cashback boosts with Kick?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes — Kick Cashback partner retailers can run boosted cashback rates, exclusive coupon codes, sale-event placement, and seasonal promotions at any time. Most promotional changes are scheduled directly through the partner network and reflect in the Kick Cashback portal within a few hours. There's no separate booking fee for changing your rate or adding a coupon — the standard performance-based commission still applies, you just pay it on the boosted rate during the boost window. What you can promote Boosted cashback rate — a higher percentage for a defined period (a weekend, a week, the duration of a sale event). The most common merchant promotion on Kick. Exclusive coupon codes — a single-use or open code that's surfaced only to Kick shoppers and stacks on top of the standard cashback rate. Category boosts — a higher rate on a specific subcategory (e.g. "8% on outerwear this week" while keeping 4% on the rest of the catalogue). New-customer bonuses — a higher rate or fixed dollar amount for first-time shoppers, useful for telcos, insurers and subscription services. Featured placement — homepage carousel, category-page banner, weekly newsletter inclusion, sale-event landing page. Editorial placement is curated by the Kick team, often paired with a boost. How to schedule a promotion Self-service merchants : log in at kickpay.co/merchant/login , open the Promotions tab, and create a new boost or coupon. Set the start and end dates, the boosted rate or coupon code, and any product or category restrictions. Save and the change syncs to the portal within a few hours. Managed-onboarding merchants : email info@kickcashback.com with the boost details (rate, dates, restrictions, any creative) at least 3-5 business days before the campaign launch. The Kick partnerships team confirms scheduling, queues the change with the partner network, and handles editorial placement if applicable. What it costs The boost itself doesn't cost anything — you simply pay commission at the higher rate on sales that close during the boost window. There's no listing fee for adding a coupon code, no minimum boost duration, and no penalty for cancelling early. Full merchant pricing breakdown . The optional editorial features — homepage carousel, sale-event landing pages, dedicated newsletter slots — are usually free for partners running a substantial boost, and quoted on a case-by-case basis for standalone placements. Best-performing promotional patterns Sale-event boosts (Click Frenzy, Boxing Day, EOFY): a 1.5-2x multiplier on your standard rate, scheduled to start 24 hours before the public sale launch. Weekend boosts on a slow category : useful for clearing seasonal stock without a public price discount. New-customer bonuses : high-fixed-dollar incentives ($30-$50 on the first order) work especially well for telco and insurance partners with high LTV. Reporting on a promotion The merchant portal shows real-time clicks, conversions, and commission earned during a boost — broken down by day so you can compare boost-window performance against a baseline week. Most partners run a structured A/B test across two consecutive weekends to dial in the optimal rate. Partner-side reporting is available for download to plug into your own marketing analytics.
