Sponsorship codes and bundles?

Hi,

Sorry if this already exists somewhere, I have no idea what kind of keywords I'd use to look for it. I'm new to posting content on Itch and released my first piece of content about a week ago (my WIP tabletop roleplaying game Synthasy for context). It's going relatively well, but I wanted to expand the reach of its publicity.

So my first question is, can you create sponsorship codes for Itch products? I've seen on many Youtube videos that when a content creator gets sponsored by a company or product, they get a code which they can tell their viewers about so that, if they use the code during purchase,  some of the proceeds go to the content creator with each purchase made of the product. I have two streamer friends and a local board game shop that I would love to set that kind of thing up for so we can make easy partnerships and I can get the word out about my game.

Second, how do I get involved with bundles? I know that I can make bundles with my own content, but is there a way to sign up to be involved with another person's bundle? I'm mostly thinking of things like with humble bundle where if someone's compiling a genre based bundle on here (for example, ttrpgs) I'd want to sign up to have my game included. I know that it won't be as profitable for me, but if I can get just a little bit out of it and, more importantly, get more people to try out my game, that'd be the goal.

Thank you in advance for your help!

This is really for the moderator to respond, but as far as I know of there really aren't any sponsorship content your best bet is to try doing that type of thing through patreon access and linking itchio account with it.

As far as bundles go such as co-op bundles your best course of action is to join the itchio discord channel and look for " Join a bundle " and ask there for people to add you to the bundle, or you can always take a look at  " games jams " https://itch.io/jams  where occasionally a few users host a game jam where you submit your game or assets and they will make that into a bundle format.
