In order to send a payment to an affiliate using Store credit, go to Payouts > Locate the payment you want to process. There are 2 possible cases: Store Credit self-redemption enabled and Store Credit self-redemption disabled.
A. If the Store Credit self-redemption is disabled, processing the payment will send a discount code to the affiliate. Simply click Mark as paid > Give discount code.
The system will then automatically create a random discount code with the exact commission amount you need to pay your affiliate.
The discount code will be displayed in the Affiliate admin account > Payment tab > Detail here:

From the store credit balance, your affiliate can freely generate discount codes with any value they want. On the merchant admin, simply go to Payouts > Mark as paid > Add credit to process the payment.
The Store credits will be added and the affiliate can see their current store credit balance on their dashboard.
On the Affiliate account page > Payment > Use your credit, the credit balance will be shown and your affiliates can enter their preferred coupon value to get the code:
For example, if the affiliate chooses $10 as the value of the generated coupon, a coupon will be auto-generated on your Shopify Discounts section, the affiliate can copy the coupon and use it on the checkout page to save $10 on his/her purchase:
