Store Credit

Using Store Credit as a payment method helps you send commissions to affiliates in the form of Store discount codes. These, like any other Shopify discount codes, cannot be withdrawn directly in the form of money. Affiliates can only use these discount codes to purchase products in your store.

Activate Store Credit

To activate Store Credit as a payment method, go to Settings > Payment > Payment methods > Select Store Credit > Save.

You can click on the gear icon here to select specific programs that offer Store Credit:

Advance: Store Credit self-redemption

To allow affiliates to generate coupons on their own, you can enable Store Credit self-redemption while setting up. By turning this setting on, an affiliate's commission will be paid and accumulated in a Store credit wallet, the affiliate can generate their coupon at any time with any value.

To set it up, please navigate to Settings > Payment > Payment methods > Click Additional setup for Store credit.

You can set up the maximum and minimum redeemable amount of a coupon an affiliate can create.

You can see how to process the payment and how it will be displayed in the affiliate's account HERE.

Combine with Shopify discounts

You can also allow affiliates to combine the coupon redeemed from their store credit with Product discounts, Order discounts and Free shipping discounts on Shopify.

Kindly go to Settings > Payment > Payment methods section > Click Additional setup for Store credit > Enable Combination types > Save changes.

Please note that once combination feature is enabled, you'll be responsible for providing Shopify discounts that can be combined with store credit to affiliates. In order to create combinable discounts, please navigate to your Shopify admin > Discounts > Create discount and make sure to enable Combine with Order discounts.
