Article summary

Once you connect with Magento, GRIN lets you generate discount code groups and assign them to your creators, who can then share their discount codes so their audiences can use the codes when purchasing your products. Since your Magento store is also integrated in GRIN, you can track a discount code’s revenue and attribute them to the associated creator. You can learn how to create codes in GRIN with Magento with this article.

Note
If you already have discount codes in your ecommerce store that you'd like to import, you can do so by uploading a CSV file of creators and their codes to GRIN instead. For more information, see Importing creators.

What you'll need

How to do it

  1. Navigate to Brands > Discounts.

  1. Select + New Group.
  2. In Step 1. Group Options, complete the following fields:
    • Group Name (Internal Use) and Magento Rule Name: The name of the discount code group that will be displayed in GRIN as well as the Rule Name in Magento.
    • How Should New Codes be Assigned?: Determine how your code group will be assigned to creators. 
      1. If you want to generate codes in GRIN, choose Generated automatically. 
      2. If you already have codes ready in your ecommerce store and would like to link those to a discount code group in GRIN, choose I have already created them. 
    • Code Pattern: Create the code that will be assigned to creators. You can select and drag Variables into the code to update automatically based off of the creator. For example, if you use the [first_name] variable in your code pattern, then assigning a creator named Jane Adams the discount code group [first_name]10OFF will display as Jane10OFF for Jane.
    • Priority: Set the priority for this discount code group.
Note
Do not create identical code patterns for different discount code groups. Having identical code patterns will cause an error because a creator cannot have identical codes from two separate groups.
  1. Select Step 2. Discount Options and complete the following fields:
    • Discount Type: Select the type of discount you'd like the code to apply.
    • Discount Value: Enter the amount the code should discount.
    • Apply to Shipping: Select whether the discount should apply to shipping prices as well.
    • Free Shipping: If you chose No to Apply to Shipping, this field will appear, and you can select whether to apply free shipping to the order as well.
  2. Select Step 3. Applies To and complete the following fields:
    • Applies To: Select what the discount will apply to in the order. If you select Specific Categories or Specific Products, you'll also need to select those categories or products from your ecommerce store.
    • Customer Groups: Select any specific customer groups you'd like to make the discount code available to.
  3. Select Step 4. Discount Usage Limits and complete the following fields: 
    • Limit the total number of times this discount can be used?: Choose whether to limit how many times a creator's code can be used. If you do choose to limit uses, you'll need to provide a Total Limit as well. Each creator that's assigned this code will have that limit on their code.
    • Limit the number of times this discount can be used for customer?: Choose whether to limit how many times a customer can use a discount code. If you do choose to limit uses, you'll need to provide a Limit per Customer as well.
    • Limit the number of times this discount can be used for coupon?: Choose whether to limit how many times the discount can be used for a coupon. If you do choose to limit uses, you'll need to provide a Limit per Coupon as well.
    • Start Date: Specify a start date for when your discount code will become active. If you don't provide a date or time, your code will become active as soon as you Save it.
    • Set end date?: Choose whether to expire the discount code on a certain date. If you choose Yes, you'll also need to provide an End Date. 
Note
You can come back to a discount code group and edit its settings to end on a certain day later on if needed. 
  1. Select Step 5. Affiliate Settings to choose a Payout Type and specify the Payout Value that creators will receive when the discount code is used.
Note
While this Payout Type will be the default payout for all creators assigned the code, you can also update a creator's individual payout type and amount for your discount code from their Creator Profile. For more information, check out our help article Creator Contact Profile Overview.
  1. Select Save.

Your discount code group has been created. Now, you're ready to generate and assign this code group to your creators. Once customers start using your creators' codes, you'll be able to track conversions and activity for those codes within GRIN.
