PRODUCT UPDATE

SKU List Upload Change

LinkShare provides you with the ability to manually update the SKUs that are part of a Selected Goods Offer. A new process will be implemented the evening of Thursday, July 26. This update facilitates more successful file loads, which will improve the accuracy of deeming transactions commissionable vs non-commissionable, and therefore reduce Transaction Inquiries and increase publisher satisfaction.

To update the SKU list for a Selected Goods Offer from the Merchant Interface you must to follow the process below:

  1. In the LinkShare Merchant Interface Click on the “Calendar - View / Modify Terms” Link.
  2. Find the Offer that you want to update the SKU List for and click on the link for the Offer.
  3. In the Edit Program Options section, click on the “Update SKU Lists” link.
  4. In the Add SKU page, for the SKU list that you want to update, browse the SKU List file that contains the SKU information to be added to the existing SKU List.
  5. The expected File Name for the SKU List File is shown below the Browse Button (once this feature is released on the 7-26-2007). You can copy this file name directly from the interface and save your SKU list with this exact naming convention for each file.
    * The file name will be in the format: MID_OFFER_sku.txt. For example, 1234_1_sku.txt, where 1234 = Merchant ID (MID) and 1 = Offer Number.
  6. Click on the Upload button to upload the file.
