Under each product, Sherpo gives you two built-in growth tools, fully integrated inside your dashboard:
  • Discounts — Create product or price-specific coupons with scheduling and usage controls.
  • Affiliates — Track what partners earn from the sales they generate using their unique discount code.
Both tools live directly inside your Dashboard, so you can launch promotions without third-party services.

​
Discounts

Discounts (coupons) let you apply percentage or fixed reductions to a product or a specific price. They are ideal for launches, seasonal campaigns, and limited-time offers. Go to: Products → [Product] → Discounts

​
Discounts overview

Inside the Discounts page, you will see summary cards: Active, Scheduled, Auto-applied, Total. Discounts are grouped into two sections:
  • Price Discounts — Apply to a specific price. Support percentage, fixed amount, or both combined.
  • Product Discounts — Apply to the entire product. Support percentage discounts.
If there is ambiguity, higher specificity takes priority. Price-level discounts override product-level discounts. Only one discount can be applied at checkout at a time.

Auto-applied discounts

If you leave the Coupon Code field empty, the discount is automatically applied at checkout. Auto-applied discounts cannot be linked to affiliates.

​
Scheduled discounts

If you set a future start date, the discount appears under Scheduled and activates automatically on that date.

​
Expired discounts

If the end date passes or the total supply is reached, the discount automatically expires and can no longer be used.
