# Get a referral link and coupon

> **Controlled preview:** The affiliate portal is not generally available in production. These instructions apply only to a shop explicitly admitted to the portal rollout. Live payouts remain disabled separately until the production payout safety gate and rollout approval are complete.

A quick guide to sharing your referral, tracking what you've earned, and requesting a payout.

## Your referral link and coupon

Open **Links & coupons** (or the **Dashboard**) in your portal:

* **Referral link** — copy it and share it anywhere. When someone clicks it and buys within the cookie window, the sale is credited to you.
* **Discount code** — copy your unique code. When a customer uses it at checkout, that sale is credited to you (and usually gives them a discount).

You can also build **custom deep links** (link to a specific product/page) and **UTM-tagged links** for tracking your own campaigns.

## Track your earnings

* **Dashboard** shows your performance at a glance.
* **Referrals** lists every order attributed to you — filter by status or date. Commissions may start as **pending** or "in hold period" until they're approved (your merchant may hold them until the return window closes).

## Request a payout after payout rollout approval

If your merchant has enabled self-serve payouts:

1. Open **Payouts**.
2. Under **Available to pay out**, click **Request payout** (you'll need to meet the minimum balance if one is set).
3. Your merchant reviews and pays the request; you'll see it move through the **Payout history**.

Set up **where** you get paid in **Settings → Payout account** (e.g. PayPal, bank transfer, or store credit — options depend on what your merchant offers). Add your **tax info** there too if requested.

## Grow with a network (if enabled)

If your program has multi-level rewards, the **Network** page lets you recruit sub-affiliates and earn on their sales too.
