Sunday, September 28, 2014
Dear Affiliate Partner,
We have got some great news for you- apart from the desktop website (www.flipkart.com) and mobile website (m.flipkart.com), Affiliate Tracking for Flipkart purchases has now been made live on all 3 of Flipkart’s Mobile Apps (Android/ iOS/ Windows) effective immediately. This is a industry first for an Indian affiliate program and opens up another Flipkart platform wherein our affiliate partners can earn commission revenues for the sales happening on Flipkart’s Mobile Apps too.
To make this live from your end and to ensure that sales are tracked on Flipkart’s Mobile Apps, a minor change would be required to be done in all the existing Flipkart affiliate links/urls present on your websites/ blogs/ mobile apps. You need to add /dl parameter in all the Flipkart affiliate urls just after http://www.flipkart.com to ensure tracking of affiliate sales on Flipkart’s mobile apps. Say for affiliate id- test, a normal affiliate url would be- http://www.flipkart.com/ offers?affid=testwhich would track affiliate sales on Flipkart’s desktop website as well as mobile website. To ensure affiliate sales are tracked on Flipkart’s mobile apps too, you need to add /dl and create a smart affiliate url like this-http://www.flipkart.com/ dl/offers?affid=test which would ensure affiliate sales are tracked on all 3 platforms of Flipkart (Desktop Website, Mobile Website, Mobile Apps).
At our end, we have made the “/dl” parameter live at all places in the affiliate account from where you pick up/ generate affiliate links:-
