Unique coupon codes let your affiliates offer discounts to their audience while automatically tracking their referrals - no affiliate links required. Affonso creates and syncs these codes directly with your payment processor, streamlining the process for both you and your partners.

Two Ways to Create Coupon Codes

Option 1: Self-Service (Recommended for Scale)

Let affiliates create their own coupon codes while you control the discount settings.

Setting Up Self-Service Coupons:

Go to your Affiliate Program settings
Scroll to "Advanced Settings"
Find "Self-Service Affiliate Coupons" and click "Configure"
Set your discount blueprint:
- Discount Type: Percentage or fixed amount
- Discount Value: The discount affiliates will offer (e.g., 20%)
- Duration: How long the discount applies (once, forever, or multiple months)
Click "Enable Self-Service Coupons"

What Affiliates See:

Once enabled, affiliates will see a "Create Your Coupon Code" option in their portal. They can choose their own code (e.g., JOHNSMITH20), and it's instantly synced with your payment provider using your preset discount settings.

Note: Each affiliate can create one coupon code per program. The code must be 3-20 characters, letters and numbers only.

Option 2: Manual Assignment

Manually create and assign coupon codes for individual affiliates.

Setting Up a Coupon Code Manually:

Log into your Affonso admin dashboard
Navigate to "Affiliates" in the navigation
Locate the affiliate you want to assign a coupon code to
Click the "Action" dropdown button in the right column
Select "Manage Coupon Code"
Enter the desired code and set discount details (percentage or fixed amount, usage limits, subscription duration)

Note: Each affiliate can have one coupon code at a time.

What Happens After Setup

The coupon code automatically syncs with your payment processor and appears in the affiliate's portal. Your partners can now share their unique code directly with their audience, offering discounts while ensuring accurate commission tracking. All conversions are tracked in your reports, whether they came from affiliate links or coupon codes.
