Affiliate promotions  

In affiliate programs built using Zoho Thrive, there are two ways to let your affiliates promote your business.
Links is a versatile method in which any referral action can easily be tracked to the respective affiliate. In Zoho Thrive, beside the links of the offerings, you can also provide help resources (assets) in the form of links to help affiliates promote your offerings better.
 
To add your offerings’ links and assets to the program:
  1. Go to Assets.
  2. Click Add Links.

    Affiliate link setup

  3. In the popup, paste the offerings’s URL and provide the Link Label.
  1. The offering URL must begin with your store/brand URL’s domain name.
  2. The link label provided is only how the link will be displayed to the affiliates in their portal. Make sure it is descriptive and short.
  1. Click Add.
Link details
Make sure you check the URL before adding it. It cannot be edited once added, only deleted.

2. Discount coupons

(Feature specific to Zoho Commerce, Shopify, and Wix platform integration)

Promotions using discount coupons are very beneficial to encourage more referral purchases, leading to better sales. As an admin, you’ll have complete control over the coupon’s type and value. When required, the affiliates can generate unique codes and promote them.
 
To create a discount coupon:
  1. Go to Affiliate.
  2. Click Set Up Coupon.

    Affiliate coupon setup

  3. In the popup, select the Coupon Type and enter the Coupon Value.
  4. Click Create.
The coupon code generated using this can be applied to your entire inventory.
