We'll guide you through how to create discounts and coupons on Shopify and show you the power of Optimise Partner Platform to grow your affiliate & partner relationships.

Understanding Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is a performance-based marketing strategy where businesses reward affiliates for driving traffic or sales to their website through the affiliate's marketing efforts. In the context of ecommerce, this often involves partnering with influencers, bloggers, or coupon websites, who promote products or services to their audience in exchange for a commission on sales generated through their unique referral links.

Partnering with Coupon Code Websites in India

Voucher and coupon code websites such as CouponDunia, GrabOn & Couponzguru have gained immense popularity among Indian consumers seeking discounts and deals on online purchases. These platforms aggregate various offers from different ecommerce brands, making them an ideal channel for reaching a wide audience of deal-savvy shoppers.
For Indian ecommerce, collaborating with these voucher/coupon websites can significantly amplify their marketing reach. By offering exclusive discounts or promo codes through these platforms, brands can attract new customers, increase sales, drive higher basket values, and build brand awareness.

Utilizing Shopify to Create Vouchers/Coupons

Shopify simplifies the process of creating and managing vouchers/coupons, empowering brands to launch enticing offers quickly. When combined with Optimise Partner Platform and our Shopify App you get a powerful, low-cost way to market to the millions of consumers using these websites every week.
