Can I link coupons to Referrals?

Absolutely! If you create a unique coupon code for a specific affiliate, individual, or company, and a customer uses that code, the referral bonus will be applied to the affiliate. 

This is another way to generate referral sales besides having affiliates share their referral URLs. Instead, they can share the unique coupon codes you provide as an incentive for customers to place an order.

How to link coupons

To do this, go to the Marketing page > Referrals tab > and click Referral Settings.

In the Referral Settings window, scroll down to the Link Coupons To Referrals section. There, you will see a list of all your coupons. Click the User dropdown next to a coupon and select the customer you want to link it to.

 

Referred Customer Discount

By default, customers who place an order using a referral link do not automatically receive any benefit or discount. Only the referring customer receives referral credit based on your Referral settings.

However, at the bottom of the Referral Settings window, you will also find the Referred Customer Discount option. This allows you to automatically apply a hidden coupon discount to customers who place an order using a referral link.

This works differently from the Link Coupons To Referrals feature mentioned above.

With Link Coupons To Referrals, the customer must manually use a specific coupon code linked to an affiliate in order for the affiliate to receive referral credit.

With Referred Customer Discount, the customer does not need to enter or use a coupon code at all. If they visit your store through a standard referral URL, the hidden coupon discount will automatically be applied at checkout.

Once enabled, any customer visiting your store through a referral link will automatically receive the discount you configure on the Checkout page, without needing to manually enter a coupon code.
