How can I make it where someone receives a discount for sharing my clothing brand with someone else? Like I want to create an affiliate link that when someone shares to their friend and that friend clicks on that link they would receive a 10% off discount. I also want to make it a 1 time use.

Hi @MVclothing
Manual Setup Using Shopify Discount Codes + Affiliate Links (via GRIN or Refersion)
If you want to create affiliate links with embedded discount codes manually, here is the general process:
Step 1: Create a Discount Code in Shopify- Go to Shopify Admin > Discounts.
-
Create a new Discount Code for 10% off.
-
Set it as one-time use per customer (limit usage to one per customer).
-
Save the discount code.
Step 2: Create Affiliate Links with Discount Codes Embedded- Use an affiliate platform like GRIN or Refersion that supports Shopify.
-
Assign the discount code to the affiliate.
-
Generate affiliate links in this format:
https://yourstore.com/discount/DISCOUNTCODE
- When a friend clicks the link, the discount code is automatically applied at checkout.
Step 3: Share and Track- Affiliates share their unique links.
-
When a friend uses the link and makes a purchase, the discount applies once.
-
The affiliate platform tracks the referral and rewards the referrer accordingly.
Important Notes- Shopify discount codes can be limited to one use per customer to enforce one-time use.
-
Discount codes embedded in URLs apply automatically when customers visit the link.
-
Affiliate apps handle link generation, tracking, and payouts, making management scalable.
-
Some apps also allow you to reward both referrer and referee with discounts or points.
