Question: I'm setting up my affiliate program and I want to add a coupon code. Can I put in a code that will work on EVERY course I offer or do I have to choose just one?
Coupons are tied to individual pricing plans so unfortunately can only be used for one per class. But, you can use the same coupon code across many courses.
You will have to create one coupon each time
the affiliates will be getting their own affiliate code, right?
If you're creating a coupon, you can offer the coupon code to them.. they would send people to the website with their affiliate link, and if the end customer wants to use the coupon code, they would enter it during the checkout process - the coupon code wouldn't be part of the URL
Loralee Hutton I've done the multiple coupon codes for my club this month - instead of sending them to the link with the coupon included, I send them directly to "all courses" (and your affiliates could do the same)... they chose the one they want, and then enter the code.. Hope that makes sense... if it would help to have a visual example, I could point you towards a page on my site.
Tracy Capps Selle Wait Loralee---how do I create a coupon good for all courses? Don't I need to go into each individual course to do that?
Loralee Hutton I don't think it will look bad at all... I see it often, when someone is promoting an affiliate product and they're offering a coupon that's just called "LAUNCH2015" or something.... and it goes out to everyone.... I don't think it's a problem at all...
You're very welcome ... happy to help. I literally get my kicks out of doing this kind of thing... Plus, it helps me figure out things for my own school... so no, I don't work for Fedora smile emoticon They're awesome though, don't you think? I love their customer support
Loralee Hutton yes... you need to go in and create the coupon code for each course..... total pain in the arse.. but at least it doesn't kick back an error code. Where you will see an error is if you have duplicate price points in one product. The same coupon can't be used twice there.
An example of an affiliate code added onto a coupon code for a specific course

With coupon code:
Adding the &affcode=918_1443214810c98d to the end of the coupon string will bring the customer directly to the course, with the coupon code intact.
