We have released a small but useful tweak to the affiliate functionality.
When a potential buyer clicks on a banner or a link on reseller’s website and gets redirected to the nominated website page we now also pass on the “reseller_id” parameter so it is easier for the merchants to distinguish the resellers from whom the buyers are coming from.
Example:
http://links.verotel.com/cgi-bin/showsite.verotel?vercode=9804000000000100:9804000000924398&websitenr=60678
results in a redirect to
http://www.verotel.com/?reseller_id=9804000000924398
This behavior applies to all affiliate URL options:
Using banner
http://links.verotel.com/cgi-bin/showsite.verotel?vercode=<banner_id>:<reseller_id>
Example:
http://links.verotel.com/cgi-bin/showsite.verotel?vercode=32084:9804000000924398
Using Banner and specifying landing page
http://links.verotel.com/cgi-bin/showsite.verotel?vercode=<banner_id>:<reseller_id>&URL=<landing_page_url>
Example:
http://links.verotel.com/cgi-bin/showsite.verotel?vercode=32084:9804000000924398&URL=http://www.verotel.com/price-and-comparison-chart
Without banner
It is also possible to create an affiliate url without adding any banners
http://links.verotel.com/cgi-bin/showsite.verotel?vercode=<merchant_id>:<reseller_id>&websitenr=<website_id>
Example:
http://links.verotel.com/cgi-bin/showsite.verotel?vercode=9804000000000100:9804000000924398&websitenr=60678
Without banner specifying landing page
http://links.verotel.com/cgi-bin/showsite.verotel?vercode=<merchant_id>:<reseller_id>&websitenr=<website_id>&URL=<landing_page_url>
Example:
http://links.verotel.com/cgi-bin/showsite.verotel?vercode=9804000000000100:9804000000924398&websitenr=60678&URL=http://www.verotel.com/price-and-comparison-chart
Is it possible for the affiliate’s link to choose any specific landing page?
Yes, whatever URL you pass in the URL parameter.
Example, please.
Hello, what example do you need ?
More info, please. I seems don’t work sometimes. Reseller doesn’t get commission.
Please contact merchantsupport@verotel.com and provide more details about the issue e.g. example of such situation.
Where to find banners?
If the webmaster of the website configured banners for the website which is meant to be resold, you can find the banners in your reseller’s ControlCenter>Resold Websites section (provided you have registered as a reseller for that website).
Hi, i wanna use the link without a banner. Where can i find the “merchant_id”?
Hi, it is possible to add a tracker or a campaign number at the links?
Sorry, currently not possible.
