Setting a Default Coupon Code
Configure your default coupon for generating affiliate promo codes
Setting a Default Coupon Code
Before PromoteKit can generate promo codes for your affiliates, you need to create a coupon in Stripe and set it as your default.
Understanding Coupons vs Promo Codes
- Coupon: Holds the discount details (e.g., 10% off, $5 off)
- Promo Code: A unique code linked to a coupon that customers enter at checkout
PromoteKit uses one coupon to generate unlimited unique promo codes for each affiliate automatically.
Setup Steps
Create a Coupon in Stripe
Go to your Stripe Dashboard and create a new coupon with your desired discount.
Configure in PromoteKit
- Go to the Setup tab in your PromoteKit dashboard
- Navigate to Step 4 (PromoteKit Integration)
- Select OPTION 3: Coupon Codes
- Choose your default coupon from the dropdown
- Click Ok, I've completed this
Test the Setup
Sign up as a test affiliate through your affiliate portal. Upon successful registration, you should receive a unique Stripe promo code based on your default coupon.
Make sure to test in Stripe live mode. Promo codes created in test mode won't work in production.
