# Setup External/Affiliate product

External / Affiliate products are not as commonly used as other types of products in Shopify. However, the **Glozin** theme supports this special type of product. You may want to redirect customers to other sites that sell the products, and you will need to create external / affiliate products for this purpose. To set up External/Affiliate products, please follow these steps:
