If you decide to award a person that is being referred as well, this page is where you setup coupon options for that. 

You can choose between rewarding them after they have made the first purchase, where they get a coupon via email to be used on their next purchase, or you can reward them right away by applying coupon code automatically on cart/checkout screen after they have arrived via referral link. Its up to you, but make sure to have only one of those active or else you will be rewarding them two times.

• Coupon type:
  • Percentage discount – A percentage discount for the entire cart. For example, if the cart contains three (3) t-shirts @ $20 each = $60, a coupon for 10% off applies a discount of $6.
  • Fixed cart discount – A fixed total discount for the entire cart. For example, if the cart contains three (3)  t-shirts @ $20 each = $60, a coupon for $10 off gives a discount of $10.
  • Fixed product discount – A fixed total discount for selected products only.  The customer  receives a set amount of discount per item. For example, three (3) t-shirts @ $20 each with a coupon for $10 off applies a discount of $30.
  • Percentage order discount - 

• Coupon amount: Fixed value or percentage, depending on the discount type you choose. Entered without a currency unit or a percent sign, which are added automatically, e.g., Enter ’10’ for $10 or 10%.
• Products: Products that the coupon will be applied to, or that need to be in the cart in order for the “Fixed cart discount” to be applied. If using this option, make sure to enter product ID's here, not product slug or name.
• Exclude products:  Products that the coupon will not be applied to, or that cannot be in the cart in order for the “Fixed cart discount” to be applied. If using this option, make sure to enter product ID's here, not product slug or name.

• Coupon Duration: This option allows you to set how many days coupon should last, type number, like 30.
• Minimum Order: You can define minimum order subtotal in order for the coupon to work. So for example, if you put 50, it means that order subtotal needs to be at least 50 for a referral  link to create a coupon. 
• Individual Use: Check this box if the coupon cannot be used in conjunction with other coupons. 
• Limit usage to X items: The maximum number of individual items this coupon can apply to when using product discounts. Leave blank to apply to all qualifying items in the cart .
