Basic merchant homepage link

**Leeky** · 09-09-09

Was just wondering if Shareasale have anything like a basic merchant homepage link which just requires a merchant id and affiliate id but doesn't require a banner id or deal id.

i.e.

It would make life much easier for us if such a link was possible...

Code:

http://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?m=[merchantid]&u=[affiliateid]

I know you have the following available which we will use for adding deals / codes...

Code:

http://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=[dealid]&m=[merchantid]&u=[affiliateid]

and the following for adding text links...

Code:

http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?B=[bannerid]&U=[affiliateid]&M=[merchantid]

The problem is if we want to do any sort of automation of including merchants it makes it extremely difficult without a default merchant homepage affiliate link, and manually looking for a homepage banner id to add to each merchant is a ball ache to say the least.

We had this problem with linkshare until they told us we could enter 00000000 as the offerid to go to the homepage.. but using shareasale this doesn't work, so wondered if there was some sort of solution.

I take it Shareasale don't actually participate on a4u then? Suppose i'll email them direct but its not clear when trying to format link examples via emails.
