Deeplinks are designed to simplify the offer creation process for businesses with a need to promote plenty of goods or services within a single site; the e-commerce vertical illustrates it best.

Instead of configuring an offer for each page on the site separately, create a single offer that registers clicks from any page of the site or one of its sections. 

First, add an Offer URL to determine the domain and the path of the link that affiliates can’t change via the Deeplink. Then Affiliates can freely create Deeplinks for pages that belong to the offer URL.

For example, if Deeplink is enabled for an offer with the URL example.com/products/bikes, Affiliates can create tracking clicks to the following pages:

example.com/products/bikes/123456

example.com/products/bikes/mountain_bike/4555

example.com/products/bikes/mountain_bike/trek/4555

However, affiliates won’t be able to create tracking clicks from the pages with different domains and paths:

anothersite.io/main

example.com/products/cars/123456 

http://example.com/

To let the affiliates use Deeplinks, complete these two operations:

• Enable general Deeplink permission

• Configure Deeplink for a selected Offer 

1. Go to Settings Navigation> Affiliate Area.

2. In the Traffic Control section, open the Offer URL list and turn on  the AffiliateCRM enable Deeplinks option.

Now affiliates can get Deeplinks for the offers with the enabled option.

Go to the Offers table and select an Offer. Click the Edit button.

Enable the Allow Deeplinks option and click Submit.

Now, all affiliates can configure Deeplinks using available URLs for that offer. If you wish to restrict the use of Deeplinks to a specific group of affiliates, you can define the allowed affiliates either at the offer level or at the offer URL level.

To know whether affiliates used Deeplinks or regular offer links, go to the clicks table and check the Source column.
