Catalogs
Our Catalogs feature allows you to link a product list or feed to your campaigns.
With this setup, you can assign different commission rates to each product and create payouts based on the catalog. This means affiliates can earn varying commissions depending on which products their referred clients purchase.
You can also choose to share the product list with your affiliates.
Affiliates will be able to download the list of products. When a product URL is specified, the list will contain the affiliate's unique tracking link that will redirect potential customers directly to the corresponding product page.
Product feeds can be added in two ways:
- Manually upload a CSV file containing the product list details and commissions
- Add a link to a live updating XML or JSON product feed
If your live product feed doesn't include the affiliate commission values, you will need to input them manually for each product.
