Skip a setup step, faster fixes for blocked discount codes, and clearer labels
November 09, 2026
You can now skip the customer accounts step of the setup wizard and turn customer accounts on later. When another Shopify discount already uses the code of an affiliate, Simple Affiliate now creates the affiliate code as soon as you delete that discount. The suspended email now goes only to an affiliate who is still suspended at the time of the email. A partial refund that comes after a full refund or a cancellation no longer changes the reversed referral. Labels are clearer on Home, in Analytics, on the plan cards and on the payout details page, which now shows one status banner. On a phone, the Show setup guide link of Home stays on the screen, and a decline in the analytics overview shows in grey, not red.
Summary
- The customer accounts step of the setup wizard has a Skip for now button. Home then shows a banner with Go to settings until you turn customer accounts on. If you reload the page before you finish the wizard, the step shows again.
- When another Shopify discount already uses the code of an affiliate, delete that discount and Simple Affiliate creates the affiliate code at the next check. When Simple Affiliate does not know which discount uses the code, it tries again every 2 days.
- Home and Analytics > Affiliate sales show 1st-time customer share of referrals, and the Analytics Overview shows New customer sales share. Locked features name their plan, for example Change group (Basic plan), and the invoice fields of manual payments show the Premium badge.
