Store Credit
Available from the Growth plan
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 These, like any other Shopify discount codes, cannot be withdrawn directly in the form of money.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.
Tips: You can create multi-programs in which one program is with normal payment methods and the other is only paid with Store credit. This feature acts like a loyalty program that rewards customers and keeps them coming back.
