Typically retailers can sell up to 20-30% via LinkShare affiliate network, the only challenge is the technical integration between ecommerce platform and the affiliate network.
We've realized it is a must for Magento Community to be integrated with LinkShare and have gone through this integration way for you gradually improving the software.
As a result, we have built Magento LinkShare Integration extension which includes the following features:
- Automated nightly export of Magento catalogue to LinkShare format;
- Automated nightly transfer of the files to LinkShare FTP server;
- Archiving the export files for audit purposes;
- Reporting sales back to LinkShare whenever there is conversion / sale in your store;
- Ability to have multi store / multi currency setup with multiple LinkShare accounts;
- Very flexible configuration;
- Error / export process status reporting via server logs and admin emails;
- Performance optimization for resources consuming export processes;
Users of the extension have seen significant increases in target traffic and sales in the first 2 weeks after integration.
