In order to set up your affiliate program within GRIN, you will need to decide if you want your creators to use affiliate links and/or codes.
What You'll Need
A connected Ecommerce store (for more, see Integrating Your Ecommerce Store).
Affiliate tracking set up in your account if you are using affiliate links (for more, see Setting Up Affiliate Tracking).
A discount code group (for more, see Discount Codes).
An affiliate link group (for more, see Affiliate Links).
How to Do It
You can view the steps below depending on if you are using discount codes and/or affiliate links!
Codes
If your creators will use codes, then follow these steps:
1 . Click on Program > Affiliates from the top menu.
2. Click on the Affiliate Settings in the top right-hand corner.
3. Click on the Discount Codes tab.
4. Follow the steps here to set up your discount code groups.
