How to Configure Merchant Deeplinks
Once you are done adding your affiliate IDs in ' Affiliate Programs' tab of LinkMyDeals dashboard, follow the below steps:
Map Stores to Affiliate Programs
Under Merchant Deeplinks section, by default deeplink settings will be available for your subscribed stores. Under deeplink preference of each store you will find below settings:
- Auto: User will be redirected via your most preferred affiliate network (as set up in your 'Affiliate Program' panel). If none of the Affiliate Networks have an active campaign for this store, then the store's own affiliate program will be used. If that too does not exist, the user will be taken directly to the landing page without any affiliate link.
- Any Affiliate Network: If you select a particular affiliate network, then your users will be redirected via affiliate link of that particular network only. In case the campaign is disabled or paused, users will be redirected via your most preferred affiliate network (as set up in your 'Affiliate Program' panel). If none of the Affiliate Networks have an active campaign for this store, then the store's own affiliate program will be used. If that too does not exist, the user will be taken directly to the landing page without any affiliate link.
- Store's Affiliate Program: User will be redirected via merchant's own affiliate program. If it does not exist or is disabled, then your most preferred affiliate network (as set up in your 'Affiliate Program' panel) will be used. If none of the Affiliate Networks have an active campaign for this store, then the user will be taken directly to the landing page without any affiliate link.
- Direct URL: This store will not be monetized. User will be taken directly to the landing page, without any affiliate link.
Setting your Auto Preference
In ' Affiliate Programs' tab, under 'Network Preference' section drag & drop affiliate network logos in order of your preference - with first being most preferred and last being least preferred. Note that direct store affiliations (such as in case of Flipkart, Amazon and Snapdeal) are always the last preference, hence you must make 'Merchants Deeplinks' setting accordingly.
