Can we detect if page shared on Twitter and LinkedIn

I am designing an Ecommerce website in PHP, on product page there is Twitter and LinkedIn share button, if user shares that product page than he will get $5 discount. Now my query is how can I detect if that product/page successfully shared on Twitter or LinkedIn, so I can apply that discount. Is there any response Twitter or LinkedIn return if url shared successfully.

Solution
