Giving Coupons to Your Affiliates to Boost Promotions

Creating coupons for your affiliates can help them promote your products more effectively. Freemius supports this natively through the affiliate program.

The direct beneficiary of this coupon is the referred customer, as they receive a discounted price and, in the process, help boost the affiliate's performance and your sales.

To set up affiliate coupons, follow these steps:

  1. First, create a general coupon for the specific product by following these steps.
  2. Scroll down the left sidebar menu in the Freemius Developer Dashboard and select the Affiliate Program page.
  3. Click the specific affiliate to open the advanced panel.
  4. Scroll to the Affiliate Coupon section and enter the coupon name.
  5. Select the desired coupon.

Once saved, the affiliate can use that coupon code to drive and attribute discounted sales.

tip

When the referred customers use this coupon, the sale is automatically attributed to the affiliate regardless of whether the buyer followed the affiliate link. This is a great way to run affiliate promotions while overcoming cookie blockers.
