An affiliate's referral link is different from an affiliate's referral code. A referral link directs the customer to the merchant's store and the customer's visit is then tracked.
In the case of a referral code, it is the unique code present at the end of an affiliate's referral link. It has to be copy-pasted into the referral code input field at the shopping cart page on the store.
For Example:
