We're excited to introduce Shopify Discount Links, which let you create unique affiliate links that automatically apply a promo code at checkout.

This feature also unlocks:

SecureCodes™ – Single-use promo codes designed to prevent coupon fraud.
CreatorStores™ – Co-branded landing pages for creators to share their favorite products and branded content with their audience.

Why Use Discount Links?

Seamless Checkout Experience: Customers no longer need to manually enter promo codes — clicking the link automatically applies the discount at checkout.
Simplified Offer Management: No need to create both a Promo Code Offer and a Link Tracking Offer — these features are now combined under one Promo Code Offer.
Prevent Code Leakage: SecureCodes™ generate single-use promo codes, ensuring they can’t be shared on coupon sites or browser extensions.

To use these features, ensure you have both Aspire's Shopify app (install here) and Aspire's Affiliates app (install here) added to your Shopify store.

The Best Setup for Your Offer

When creating a Promo Code Offer, you can choose to use a combination of these features.

Choosing a Code Type

Promo Codes: Generates a unique code per creator (e.g. JOHN10) when members are added to the offer. Creators can share this as a Discount Link or use it separately in captions, blog posts, etc.

SecureCodes™: Generates a single-use promo code in real time when a customer clicks on a creator's link and redeems the offer. Each code is unique to the shopper so they can’t be mass-shared to a coupon site or browser extension. Learn more about SecureCodes.

Choosing a Link Type

Discount Links: Directs users to your Shopify homepage by default. You can set a redirect URL in the Promo Code Offer settings to send users to a specific collection or product page. The promo code auto-applies at checkout when the link is clicked.
CreatorStores™: When Discount Links are enabled, you can toggle on CreatorStores™ to direct users to a creator’s co-branded landing page instead.
