Enjoy discount rules, gift cards, store credit, BOGO deals, advanced restrictions, auto-apply and more in a single package.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>Expand your affiliate payouts beyond PayPal, Stripe and bank transfers by sending store credit directly to the desired affiliates.<\/p>\n\n<p>Select eligible referrals, choose 'Coupon: Store Credit' payout option and send. That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n\n<p>Affiliates can use this store credit at checkout to make purchases on your store until exhausted.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong> - You can send store credit payouts to affiliates automatically or manually.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Requirements<\/h3>\n\n<p>Install and activate Affiliate for WooCommerce plugin and Smart Coupons plugin, and WooCommerce, ofcourse.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Get your own money back<\/h3>\n\n<p>For example, if affiliate Robert Evans earns $82 in commissions, you can send him the same amount as store credit. Robert can then use it to make purchases in your store.<\/p>\n\n<p>Ultimately, the commissions you pay as store credit are returned to you when affiliates make purchases.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Reduce cash payouts<\/h3>\n\n<p>Paying via store credit allows you to avoid instant and regular cash payouts to affiliates.<\/p>\n\n<p>In case of free products, cash commissions can be costly, but offering store credit can attract more affiliates.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Tracking store credits<\/h3>\n\n<p>Affiliates will find the store credit coupon code in the existing email sent by Affiliate for WooCommerce plugin. They can also view their store credit balance in the My Account &gt; Coupons section.<\/p>\n\n<p>Additionally, affiliates can track their store credit payouts directly under their My Account in a dedicated dashboard provided by Affiliate for WooCommerce plugin.<\/p>\n\n<h3>No coupon hassles<\/h3>\n\n<p>When you pay affiliates with store credit, the corresponding coupons will automatically appear in the Coupons dashboard - no need to create them manually.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Prevent store credit misuse<\/h3>\n\n<p>Store credit payouts are restricted to the affiliate's email address. This ensures that only the intended affiliate can use it for purchases in your store.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong> - You have full flexibility to pay affiliates using store credit - whether it\u2019s a single affiliate, multiple affiliates, or all affiliates. Plus, you can switch payout methods effortlessly: pay via store credit this month, PayPal next month, and so on.<\/p>\n\n<p>Get this plugin today and enhance your WooCommerce affiliate program!<\/p>\n\n<h3>Documentation<\/h3>\n\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/woocommerce.com\/document\/smart-coupons\/#section-4\">What is store credit\/gift certificate?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/woocommerce.com\/document\/affiliate-for-woocommerce\/how-to-pay-store-credit-as-affiliate-commission\/\">How to pay store credit as affiliate commission?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/woocommerce.com\/document\/affiliate-for-woocommerce\/settings\/#section-32\">Settings<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<h3>Try our plugin demos<\/h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/demo.storeapps.org\/?demo=afw-admin\">Affiliate for WooCommerce demo<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/demo.storeapps.org\/?demo=sc-admin\">Smart Coupons demo<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>Our other free plugins<\/h3>\n\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/affiliate-contact-form-7-integration-for-woocommerce\/\">Affiliate CF7 Integration<\/a> - Customize affiliate registration forms with Contact Form 7.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/temporary-login-without-password\/\">Temporary Login Without Password<\/a> - Create secure, self-expiring automatic login links.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/smart-manager-for-wp-e-commerce\/\">Smart Manager - Smart Manager - Advanced WooCommerce Bulk Edit &amp; Inventory Management<\/a> - Advanced bulk edit for WooCommerce &amp; WordPress.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/auto-apply-coupons-by-smart-coupons-for-woocommerce\/\">Auto Apply Coupons by Smart Coupons for WooCommerce<\/a> - Auto apply discount coupons or promo codes at cart\/checkout for customers.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/url-coupons-by-smart-coupons-for-woocommerce\/\">URL Coupons by Smart Coupons for WooCommerce<\/a> - Auto apply discounts for your customers in one click of the URL.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/profiles.wordpress.org\/storeapps\/#content-plugins\">View all our free plugins<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h3>StoreApps\u2019 other Pro plugins<\/h3>\n\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.storeapps.org\/product\/smart-subscriptions-for-woocommerce\/?utm_source=wprepo&amp;utm_medium=web_ss&amp;utm_campaign=afw_storecredit_addon_readme\">Smart Subscriptions<\/a> - Launch and manage recurring products in just a few clicks.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.storeapps.org\/product\/smart-rental-and-booking-for-woocommerce\/?utm_source=wprepo&amp;utm_medium=web_srb&amp;utm_campaign=afw_storecredit_addon_readme\">Smart Rental &amp; Booking<\/a> - Manage every rental from one dashboard, without spreadsheets.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.storeapps.org\/product\/smart-offers\/?utm_source=wprepo&amp;utm_medium=web_so&amp;utm_campaign=afw_storecredit_addon_readme\">Smart Offers for WooCommerce<\/a> - Targeted one-click upsells, BOGO, order bumps and Buy Now buttons for direct checkout.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.storeapps.org\/product\/email-customizer-for-woocommerce\/?utm_source=wprepo&amp;utm_medium=web_ecp&amp;utm_campaign=afw_storecredit_addon_readme\">Email Customizer for WooCommerce<\/a> - Customize default WooCommerce transactional emails to match your brand.
