Affiliates can then redeem their balance for discount coupons. ## How to set up ### 1. Set up Store Coupon as a payment method * Go to **Settings > Payments**. * Select **Store Coupon** to activate this payout method. * Click the **Save** button
Additionally, redemption rules let you control how affiliates convert their **Store Coupon** into discount coupons. You can set limits, add multipliers, and define how the coupon works in your store. This helps you keep payouts flexible while protecting your margins.
*** * **Minimum redeemable amount:** The smallest amount of Store Coupon balance an affiliate must have before they can create a coupon. > If you set $10, affiliates must earn at least $10 store coupon to redeem a coupon. * **Maximum redeemable amount:** The highest amount of Store Coupon balance that can be converted into a coupon at one time. > If you set $50, even if an affiliate has $80, they can only redeem up to $50 in one coupon. * **Multiply redemption amount:** Allows affiliates to increase the value of the coupon compared to the amount redeemed. > If an affiliate redeems $20 and you set the multiplier to 2, the generated coupon will be $40. * **Coupon code prefix:** Automatically adds a prefix to all coupons generated from Store Coupon names. > Setting the prefix 99 results in coupons like 99NAME. * **Purchase type:** Controls where the redeemed coupon can be used: 1. **One-time purchase:** Coupon applies only to non-subscription products. 2. **Subscription:** Coupon applies only to subscription purchases. 3. **Both:** Coupon can be used for either. > If your store sells both subscription plans and standard products, choosing Both lets affiliates use their redeemed coupon on all products. * **Allow redeemed coupons to be combined with other discounts:** If enabled, the coupon generated from store coupon balance can be stacked with additional promotions. > An affiliate can use a $20 redeemed coupon on a discounted item on your store. ### 2. Activate Auto Store coupon payouts Navigate to **Settings** > **Payments**, then click **Edit** on the **Auto Store coupon payouts** section. Turn on the toggle to activate it. ### 3. Schedule payout generation This schedule controls when payouts are generated, not when they're paid. * **Frequency:** choose how often payouts are generated: Weekly or Monthly. * **Day of month:** choose the day payouts are generated, for example, on the 10th of each month. * **Time:** set the time of day payouts are generated, in your store's timezone, for example, at 3:00 PM. * **Minimum payout** and **Maximum payout:** set the minimum and maximum approved commission amount required to generate a payout, for example, a minimum of **$1.00** and a maximum of **$1000.00**. Only affiliates with an approved commission balance between $1.00 and $1000.00 are included in the payout.
### 4. Set the payout review period Once a payout is generated, you'll have time to review it before it's automatically paid. * **Pay immediately:** pay the payout as soon as it's generated, with no review period. * **After a specified number of days:** set a number of days to review or cancel the payout before payment is sent.
> For example, you set the payout review period to be 7 days. If payouts are generated on 10th Oct, you'll have until 10th Oct to delete or cancel the payout before it's paid. {% hint style="success" %} **Live explanation** summarizes your settings and shows the next generation and payment dates based on your schedule. {% endhint %}
After setting everything up, you can see a note for the payment in the **Payouts** tab.
## Manage payouts To manage payouts before they're paid automatically as scheduled, go to the **Payouts** tab > **Payouts** > **Unpaid**. You can see the current review period: the approved period, number of payouts, total payable amount, and the Auto pay date. Each payout also shows its own status.
### Cancel payments During the review period, you can stop the payout from being paid automatically. The payout stays unpaid, and you have to pay it manually. You can cancel a single payout, or cancel all of them at once. To cancel a single payout, click **Cancel schedule** on that payout.
To cancel all scheduled payouts at once, click **Cancel payment**.
Once you cancel a payment, it will not be paid automatically again until the next **Auto payout generation** period. You'll need to pay it manually, either one by one or in bulk. ## How affiliates experience it After a payout is paid, affiliates see their updated store coupon amount in their dashboard, where they can redeem it for coupons to purchase your products. Affiliates choose the discount value when they generate a coupon, for example, $10 off.
Affiliates can also view payout status and schedule in the **Payouts** tab of their affiliate dashboard.
