# Affiliate links, coupons & customer discount

> Link and coupon tracking, the shopper-facing discount, and social sharing.

Affiliates can be tracked two ways — and offering both maximizes
attributed sales.

## Affiliate links

Each approved affiliate gets a unique link. **Affiliate link
destination** (Affiliate → Settings) controls where it lands: **Home
page**, a specific **Product**, or a **Custom link**.

## Affiliate coupons

A coupon bound to the affiliate tracks sales even when no link was
clicked — essential for video, podcast, and offline promotion ("use
code SARAH10"). Manage them from the member's profile (**Your affiliate
coupons**): create a new coupon or bind an existing Shopify code.
Coupons can also be generated automatically at approval time.

<Tip>
  Give every serious affiliate both. Links capture click-through
  traffic; coupons capture "heard it on the podcast" traffic that
  links can never see.
</Tip>

## Customer Discount

**Affiliate → Program → Customer Discount** defines what the *shopper*
gets when buying through an affiliate code — the discount that makes
the code worth using:

* **Discount Value** — Percentage Discount, Fixed Discount, or No
  discount or reward
* **Limit to one use per customer**
* **Minimum requirements** — minimum purchase amount or item quantity
* **Combinations** — whether it stacks with product, order, and
  shipping discounts

The discount applies automatically at checkout for customers shopping
through an affiliate's link or code.

## Social share options

**Affiliate → Settings → Social Share Options** chooses which channels
affiliates see in their portal — Facebook, Twitter (with custom
message), WhatsApp (with custom text), and Email (with subject and
message). Messages support the shortcodes `{{affiliate_link}}`,
`{{store_url}}`, and `{{affiliate_code}}`.

## Use cases & examples

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Podcast & video promotion" icon="microphone" description="Coupon-first tracking for audio audiences.">
    Create a memorable coupon per affiliate and set the Customer
    Discount to 10% — listeners type the code at checkout and the sale
    attributes perfectly without any click.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Send traffic to the money page" icon="bullseye" description="Affiliate links land on your flagship product.">
    Set the link destination to **Products** and pick your bestseller.
    Shorter path, higher conversion, happier affiliates.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Commission-only program" icon="scale-balanced" description="No shopper discount — affiliates earn, prices stay intact.">
    Set Customer Discount to **No discount or reward** when your brand
    avoids discounting. Affiliates still earn per sale via their link.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="The affiliate coupon stopped working">
    If the underlying Shopify discount was deleted, the Customer
    Discount card shows "Your discount code has been deleted" with a
    **Recreate** button. Coupons also expire per their validity
    settings.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Coupon sales aren't crediting the right affiliate">
    A coupon credits the affiliate it's bound to — check the binding on
    the member's profile, and make sure two affiliates aren't sharing
    a code.
  </Accordion>
