Context

What are redirects?

A redirect sends experts from ExpertVoice to a brand’s website to complete their purchase using their expert discount.

Three main redirect types

Session redirects send an expert to the brand’s site with data that automatically identifies them and applies their eligible discount.

Discount code redirects send an expert to the brand’s site with a code they apply to receive their expert discount.

Account redirects send an expert to the brand’s site, where they sign in using the same email linked to their ExpertVoice account.
