Can affiliates create custom coupon codes instead of just referral links?

This helps affiliates share discounts in a more flexible way, especially on social media or offline promotions.

Not sure if this is a FCart Question or FA but this will be an useful feature to have.

JeffΒ That's exactly what I meant, Custom coupons will make things so much better in your case.

With other affiliates who allow me to share a coupon code, they usually ask me. Some will just use a variation of my name and a number to show how much of a discount I can offer. For example, WBEEM20OFF is one that I have for a vendor. The "20OFF" confuses some people with the 0 followed by the O.

What did you have in mind?

William BeemΒ in this case, maybe you can use 20-OFF or just WBEEM20.

For most of my offers I give 20/20 (20% coupon, 20% affiliate). Most of my (new) business is referral. I used AffiliateWP until I switched to using Fluent Forms for all of my checkout processes. I've been doing it all manually (Fluent Forms coupon, Google Sheets Integration to track affiliate via coupon code, manual payouts).

I'm excited to have the affiliate sign up process. Hope to eliminate the manual coupon creation process, too!

Wendy ShoefΒ That's cool, Are you using any automation tool apart from FluentForms and Google sheets integrations.

Shanto AsifΒ Fluent CRM is the only other thing.
