If you're interested in rewarding selected promoters of your product when their efforts result in sales the new Coupons functionality is for you. Promoters or affiliates can spread the word about your product using their affiliate code which customers can use as a discount coupon code on checkout. System records usage of affiliate coupons and calculates commissions to the owner of the code.
