Hi,

1) I got this error when using the affiliate coupon code

"You do not have the correct permission to use this coupon" I have a test user as affiliate, generate a coupon code, added to template, run generate affiliate coupon code. Tried to register using test affiliate link and use the affiliate coupon code. I've tested the permissions for "act as affiliate" with "authenticated user" and "anonymous user" and still got the same error code. 

2) "generate affiliate coupon code" generated for all users, even if users did not signup for affiliate. Is that for now or is there a way to only "generate affiliate coupon code" for users that wanted to be affiliates ?

 

Thanks.

John

John,

1) This means that the coupon you used for the template had a restrict by role set, meaning the user has to have that role to use it. I recommend removing that option if you don't want to restrict by role, or make sure you add anonymous user to it.

2) The coupons are generated for all users which have the 'act as affiliate' permission. I recommend making a new role called Affiliate and only give affiliates that role, and only give that permission to them, so that the coupons are only generated for them.

Hope that helps!

Sincerely,

Leighton Whiting

Awesome. Works now. Thanks for the immediate support response.

 

Also, I think I am just finding out some great features of your Affiliate module. It would be nice to have a video tutorial to maximize the full potential of  Affiliate Suite.

 

Thanks again.

I agree a video tutorial to maximize the full potential of  Affiliate Suite would be nice. I'm a newbIe to all this and affiliate / coupon creation are a challenge. Let us know when it's uploaded to youtube.
