  1. Click on discounts in your Shopify dashboard menu

  2. Click create discount on the right-hand side

  3. Select discount code

  4. Give your code a cute name or use the code your affiliate selected

  5. Select what kind of discount it is: percentage, fixed amount, free shipping, or buy X get Y

  6. Add the value of the discount
