Managed Link
A managed link simply allows you to control what marketing content is associated with a link and the landing page the customer is sent.
Once you have a creative, created you can now setup Managed Links. To do this simply click "New" to be take to the configuration screen.
From here you can provide the link with a name and select the link type. For this example with will use the Text type.
As you can see because we selected "Text" as our type we are prompted to select the text we would like to use. In this case we only have one text creative available so we only have one option, but in your case you may have multipe text creatives in which case you would select the one you want to assign within your managed links.

Simple Links
The simple link section allows you to configure very direct links to your site without any marketing content (images, text, etc.). Simple links appear on the affiliate dashboard and are easy for the affiliate to quickly start using.
- Under the Simple Links section, click the
newbutton. - The next screen has two input fields and a read-only textarea.
- For the name, enter anything that will help you remember what this link is.
- For the URL, this should be your landing page URL. Usually this will be your StoreFront home page. Leave the
?AFFID=[affiliateid]exactly like it is at the end of the URL. When the affiliate sees the link, the server will replace the affiliateid with that affiliate's id number (and remove the brackets). - Your landing page should have the tracking script somewhere within it.
