# How usecode.sh works alongside LTK

Use both. LTK is where your commissions come from: an application-reviewed creator program built on commissionable links, a shopper app, and weekly payout options. What LTK does not give you is a surface for brand promo codes on your everyday shop page. A code page holds those codes and links out to your LTK shop, which LTK itself encourages placing behind your bio link.

## The workflow, concretely

1. Keep creating LTK links as you do now; the click that earns commission should always be LTK's tracked link.
2. Give your LTK shop a permanent card on your code page, so the bio link LTK recommends leads followers to everything, not only LTK.
3. When a brand hands you a code, direct deal or otherwise, it gets its own card next to the LTK card, instead of living only in a caption.
4. Read the two dashboards together: LTK tells you what converted through links; your copy counts show the [code-path demand LTK cannot see](/guides/code-copies-vs-link-clicks).

LTK's own creator guidance recommends putting your LTK shop URL behind your link in bio, which is exactly the slot a code page occupies; the two are structurally compatible rather than competing.
