Yes, sorry.

Supposing that your url was http://www.example.com/acategory/aproduct
You should use this link: http://www.example.com/acategory/aproduct/?atid=1

However, if your url looks like http://www.example.com/acategory?product=43
You should use this link: http://www.example.com/acategory?product=43&atid=1

This happens because this is how the url params work. If it is not clear yet, show me a product link and I will tell you how to build the url.

Thank you,
Joan

    Hello Kiko,

    When creating a marketing material banner, you have the {affiliate_link} token which is the whole default link for each user.
    By default, it will be https://mywebsite.com/?atid=(the atid of the specific user). This way, when an affiliate is copying the banner, he or she is copying it's own link and the commissions will be created for him/her.

    However, if you want to point to a specific product for each affiliate in the banners, you will need to use the referral word to build the link for each affiliate. This way, the token {affiliate_link} will be able to automatically point to a specific product for each affiliate.

    Let me refer you to our referral word documentation: http://www.joomlathat.com/documentation/affiliate-tracker/referral-word
    If after reading it you still have questions, ask us and we will help you.

    Thank you,
    Joan

    In other words i want my marketing materials to have this link

    https://mywebsite.com/store/product1/?atid=1
    https://mywebsite.com/store/product2/?atid=2
    https://mywebsite.com/store/product3/?atid=3

    So when user take this link from the marketing materials section how exactly the system will know which user make the commission if all the users will use the same link?

    I didn't got this part: Note that if this is the only param in the url you should write '?' instead of '&'.

    What is this mean? Can you give me example?

    Hello Kiko,

    To do so, you only need to add the &atid=1 param (according to the id of the affiliate) at the end of the product url.

    Note that if this is the only param in the url you should write '?' instead of '&'.

    Thank you,
    Joan
