no product or affiliate link

Submitted by rolli1 on Tue, 2006-09-26 13:59 in

Hi,
in my overstock datafeed no affiliate url is provided. It is set up in a php file and then inserted into the html.
How can I manage price tapestry to provide also such an url?

Regards

Roland

Hi Roland,

Presumably there is some component of the feed that is required to construct the affiliate URL. For example a Product ID. Assuming that ProductID is in the feed, you would register that as the Buy URL, and then use filters to convert it into the affiliate link, for example by using "Text Before" and inserting your tracking code:

http://www.example.com/track.asp?affID=1111&merchant=2222&productID=

You can do a similar thing even if the tracking code needs a URL parameter on the end.

If you still need help feel free to email me an example of your affiliate URL, and an example record and i'll try and figure out what filters you need to use to match it all up.

Cheers!
David.

Thanks for all your help. I use the SKU field and inserted the link code under "Text Before" filter and it works well.

Thanks again

Roland
