How to Create Affiliate Coupon Codes

Unique affiliate coupons offer a powerful way to enhance your affiliate marketing strategy by providing exclusive discounts that motivate affiliates and boost sales. By assigning custom coupon codes, affiliates can offer tailored promotions to their audiences, resulting in increased engagement and higher conversion rates. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of creating and managing unique affiliate coupons within the platform, ensuring you maximize the potential of your affiliate program.

Benefits of Unique Affiliate Coupons

Before diving into the setup process, let's explore the advantages of utilizing unique coupons for your affiliates:

• Enhanced Affiliate Motivation: By offering exclusive discounts, affiliates are more incentivized to promote your products, leading to increased sales.
• Increased Sales Potential: Exclusive discounts encourage purchases, driving higher sales and making your affiliate strategy more effective.

Creating Affiliate Coupon Codes

Follow these steps to create unique coupon codes for your affiliates within the CRM:

From the Affiliate List

Navigate to the Affiliate Manager located under the Marketing section of the CRM, and select “Affiliate” from the dropdown.

Assigning a Unique Coupon

Locate the affiliate for whom you want to create a coupon. On the far right side of the affiliate’s row, you’ll find an action dropdown. Click this dropdown to reveal several options, then select “Add Coupon.” This will open the coupon creation window, allowing you to configure the coupon's details.

In the coupon creation window, the first step is to assign the coupon to a specific campaign. From the Campaign Name dropdown menu, select the campaign in which the affiliate is involved. This ensures that the coupon will be linked directly to the campaign, allowing for proper tracking and attribution of sales generated by the coupon.

Next, provide a name for the coupon in the "Coupon Name" field. The coupon name should be descriptive and relevant, as it will serve as an identifier for you and the affiliate. A clear and concise name helps to quickly distinguish the coupon from others and makes it easier to manage multiple coupons within the system.

Create a custom coupon code or let the system generate one automatically. If you prefer a specific code, simply type it into the provided field. Alternatively, clicking the "Generate" button will produce a randomized coupon code, ensuring uniqueness without the need for manual input.

In the "Coupon Type" dropdown, select the type of discount you want to offer with this coupon. You can typically between percentage discounts (e.g., 10% off) or fixed-amount discounts (e.g., $20 off). Selecting the appropriate coupon type ensures that the discount aligns with your campaign strategy and provides affiliates with a clear incentive to promote the offer.

From the Affiliate Profile

You can also add a coupon to the affiliate from the affiliate's profile. To do so, follow the steps outlined below:

Select the name of the affiliate you wish to add the coupon to from the Affiliate Page.

Scroll to the active referral links section within their profile. Here, you will see the list of campaigns the affiliate has been added to as well as the affiliate's URL. Click the “Customize” button beside the campaign you wish to associate the coupon with.

Navigate to the "Coupon Code" section and complete the required fields by assigning a name, entering or generating a unique coupon code, and specifying the discount parameters. Additionally, if the selected product involves recurring payments, you have the option to enable the coupon for recurring charges.

Once you’ve completed the configuration, save the changes to activate the coupon. After the coupon is successfully created, you can manage or edit it within this section. Be sure to share the generated coupon code with the affiliate so they can offer exclusive discounts to their audience!
