# Coupons Coupons are a great way to provide discounts, especially for first-time customers looking to try your brand. They incentivize initial purchases, attract new customers, and encourage existing ones to buy more, promoting higher-value products. > Coupons are especially beneficial when shared by affiliates on social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube. In the **Coupons** tab, you will see the **Coupon Based Commissions** section. Here, you can view the coupons assigned to affiliates. When a customer makes a purchase using an affiliate's coupon, the affiliate will earn a commission on that sale. The table displays the affiliate name, coupon code, and the type of coupon.

### Assign Coupon to Affiliates To assign a coupon to an affiliate, click on **Assign coupon to affiliate.** Here, you can select the partner/affiliate and set the coupon code. Click on **Submit** to assign the coupon to the affiliate. ![Assign Coupon to Affiliates](https://1200686697-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LdPzLtyP46oY7cyXnkw%2F-MO5ZZqNo64x92m7wf8W%2F-MO77t82t1F9aMllCOH_%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=c1e52002-eb86-40c3-84c6-6889fc164618) {% content-ref url="../../../affiliate-coupons/assign-coupon-to-affiliate" %} [assign-coupon-to-affiliate](https://docs.goaffpro.com/affiliate-coupons/assign-coupon-to-affiliate) {% endcontent-ref %} ### Automatic Coupons **Automatic Coupons** can be utilized to generate coupons for affiliates automatically. ![Automatic Coupons](https://1200686697-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LdPzLtyP46oY7cyXnkw%2F-M4ISD2t9UbMMPs54Elo%2F-M4ISrPnm1BIOEDPB7Tn%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=62268479-b7d7-424d-a42d-5a0b859bf807) {% content-ref url="../../../affiliate-coupons/setup-referral-coupons/automatically-generate-coupons" %} [automatically-generate-coupons](https://docs.goaffpro.com/affiliate-coupons/setup-referral-coupons/automatically-generate-coupons) {% endcontent-ref %} You can modify the discount value of the coupons by clicking on **Change**.
