Using an Affiliate ID as a Coupon (Linking Affiliate ID with Coupon code)

[Ivy]

Using the eStore and the Affiliate Platform you can link an affiliate id to a coupon. This will allow a customer to get a discount and the affiliate to be awarded the commission for the sale. This is useful when you want to run promotions for your affiliates.

To do this you will need to check the checkbox for the following two options in the eStore settings. You can find both these options under the “Addon Settings” tab in the main settings menu of the eStore plugin.

1. Allow Affiliate ID Entry

2. Link Affiliate ID with Coupons Table

Once this is done go to the “Coupon/Discounts” menu. Here you will need to add a coupon code with the same name as the affiliate id (e.g. the affiliate ID is test21 then the coupon code needs to be test21).

Does the affiliate get the commission on the pre-discount amount or the post-discount amount?

Normal price: $100

commission: %10

coupon discount: $50

will the commission be $10 or $5?

Thanks!

The commission is calculated based on the amount that you as the seller received. So it will be the post discounted amount.

I am using woocommerce with coupon codes and just added woo coupons plugin.

if someone clicks on affiliate hyperlink or banner to come to our site and then uses a woo coupon code that is attached to same affiliate will that create any software conflict?

Also when copying the coupon code from woocommerce into woo coupons to assign to affiliate is it cap sensitive?

If a coupon is applied to a transaction then that will get preference. So the affiliate ID who is linked to that coupon will get the commission from that transaction.

Yes, it is case sensitive so it is best to copy and paste the coupon code.
