Use promolink

The promolink is the most important advertising material for you as an affiliate. You integrate it on the page where you advertise a product. When customers click on the promolink, they will be taken to the vendor’s sales page. The promolink sets a cookie that is valid for 180 days and thereby correctly assigns the purchase to you.

This is what a promolink looks like:

https://www.digistore24.com/redir/PRODUCT-ID/AFFILIATE/CAMPAIGNKEY

Replace the parameters in the link:

  • AFFILIATE: Replace this with your own Digistore24 ID, if the vendor hasn’t done this for you already.
  • PRODUCT-ID: Digistore24 will automatically insert the product ID of the product you want to promote.
  • CAMPAIGNKEY: Can be attached to the promolink and allows you to track your campaigns by this key.

Test your promolink before you use it!

To do this, follow this guide.

Example:

  • Your own Digistore24 ID is "MaxMustermann".
  • The ID of the product you want to promote is "220831".
  • You create a campaign key "Product1".
  • Your promolink is therefore: https://www.digistore24.com/redir/220831/MaxMustermann/Product1

1. How to get the promolink

There are 3 ways to get the promolink:

  1. On the marketplace entry, click Promote now. A new window will appear informing you that your request has been accepted. Below you will see a field with a page URL – this is your individual promolink.

    The vendor may need to approve your request to promote if they have set it up that way. In this case, you will see the status Pending under Account > Affiliate Partnerships.

    Don't worry if you clicked the wrong thing. You can terminate partnerships at any time. A partnership with a vendor does not involve any costs or obligations.

  2. You will also receive the promolink on the vendor’s Affiliate support page, provided they have created one. You can access the affiliate support page using a link on the marketplace entry of the product to be promoted.
  3. The last possibility is that the vendor sends you the promolink directly.

2. View promolinks

If you have already entered into affiliate partnerships with vendors, you will find the corresponding promolinks in the following overview:

Step-by-step guide

  1. In the affiliate view, go to Account > Content links.
  2. Click on the button Show promolink.
  3. For the field For product, select a product.
  4. You will now see your promolink for the respective product.

3. Where to place the promolink as an affiliate

To refer buyers to the vendor, you need a readership or target audience. There are different ways to build this audience, such as having your own website, a blog, a podcast, or a YouTube channel.

We recommend creating an additional website with a landing page specifically designed for the product. The function of this is to engage the visitor after they click on the advertisement. You introduce the product and provide valuable additional information. This way, you create trust and can convince your end customers that your website is a high-quality source of information. From the landing page, you direct your visitors to the vendor’s sales page using the promolink.
