When an affiliate first creates their account, a custom discount code or link is automatically generated for them to share. However, there may be situations where you want to assign two or more discount codes to an affiliate. This article explains how to create additional discount codes for an affiliate.
Note: Unlike the default discount codes, any additional codes must be manually created in your Shopify Admin. Additional discount codes that are not registered in Shopify will not function.
To create a new code, navigate to the Discounts tab in your Shopify Admin and create the discount code you wish to assign to the affiliate.
Select the discount type.
Type in the code, choose your preferred discount code attributes, and click Save.
After creating the additional discount code in Shopify, navigate to the Affiliates tab in your Social Snowball dashboard. Click on the name of the affiliate to whom you want to assign the additional code. You can also search for the affiliate by name, email address, or existing discount code.
This will bring you to the affiliate's profile page. Now, click on the "+" button adjacent to the Additional Codes tile.
An Assign Additional Code popup appears. Type in the new code and click Add Code.
The code you just added will appear in the affiliate's profile. You can then communicate directly with the affiliate about the new discount code.
You can add multiple additional codes following the same process.
You can also edit/remove these codes.
Some interesting use cases:
An additional free shipping code for the affiliate.
An additional "buy x, get y" discount code for the affiliate.
You can allow these additional discount codes to combine with the existing affiliate discount code. (Tutorial)
