If you&#8217;ve not done this yet, see <a href=\"https:\/\/couponaffiliates.com\/docs\/getting-started\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>this guide<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2) Complete Setup Wizard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve installed the plugin, the first thing you will see is the setup wizard. This will guide you through setting up some of the core features of Coupon Affiliates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gyazo.com\/a56720be161cd34ed5137571de35e694.png\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:497px;height:436px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Create the Dashboard Page<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step is to create the affiliate dashboard page. This is done by adding the [couponaffiliates] shortcode to a page, or simply by clicking the &#8220;Generate Dashboard Page&#8221; button. This will create the page for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you created the dashboard page manually by adding the shortcode to a page, you will need to make sure you&#8217;ve assigned this page in the dropdown, so the plugin knows which page to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Setup the Registration System<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next page in the setup wizard will help you setup the affiliate registration page, where your affiliates can fill out the form to submit an affiliate application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once again, click the &#8220;Generate Registration Page&#8221; button to create the affiliate registration page automatically, or add the shortcode [couponaffiliates-register] to a new page manually, and select that page in the dropdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"435\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/couponaffiliates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/b60b8febb8c94670a1053fb149bb7d87.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12802\" style=\"width:281px;height:130px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/couponaffiliates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/b60b8febb8c94670a1053fb149bb7d87.png 435w, https:\/\/couponaffiliates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/b60b8febb8c94670a1053fb149bb7d87-300x138.png 300w, https:\/\/couponaffiliates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/b60b8febb8c94670a1053fb149bb7d87-360x166.png 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 435px) 100vw, 435px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You will also need to create the &#8220;Template Coupon&#8221; and enter that in the text field provided. When you accept an affiliate registration, a new coupon is created with the same settings as this template coupon, and is automatically assigned to user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can click the &#8220;Generate Coupon&#8221; button to show a form that helps you quickly generate a new template coupon.
