Your Merchants is where you configure which merchants you can display on your site.
General information
Before you build a store, you will have to make a general list of your merchants from among the networks you belong to. Put only merchants who have approved your affiliate account into this list, which is aptly called Your Merchants. When building your stores, you will select merchants from Your Merchants, not from the master list of 18 networks and 4000+ merchants. This makes store building easier and more efficient because you add only merchants who have approved your account and you only search for products to display from within this list. You can add or delete merchants at any time.
How to select your merchants
-
Go to Factory > Your Merchants; you will see Affiliate Networks listed in the left sidebar.
-
Select a network by clicking on its name; you will then see a list of all of that network's merchants.
-
Click on the name of a merchant to add it to Your Merchants; repeat as necessary.
-
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for other networks.
-
To check your selection, return to Factory > Your Merchants; you will now see a personalized list of your selected merchants grouped by network.
Quick Tip
Click [All] to select all merchants at once; clear your selection by clicking [None]; or [Invert] your selection.
Important
Make sure you understand the affiliate network approval process before selecting merchants. You will not be paid for affiliate sales you generate through merchants which have not approved your account, even though the products will display in your store. Read more about affiliate networks.
