Sale Product Performance Report

This report has been optimized, and can now pull months of data within about 2 seconds flat. You can also pull data from up to a year back, now. And we’ve made filtering by SKU easier. You can click the asterisk next to the SKU column, enter the number, and select a filter option.

Tool of the Week

Affiliates

If you use WordPress, as many bloggers do, you probably know about plugins, and how they can make a lot of the work you do on a daily basis easier. Well, did you know AvanLink has a plugin? Yep, and it enables you to quickly, automatically implement some of our best features, such as the Affiliate Link Encoder, Related Products Widget, and the Product Search Widget.

It’s very easy to install, and just takes a few steps. See our video on how to set up the AvantLink WordPress Plugin.

Merchants

We’re always talking about approving affiliate applications in a timely manner. We bring this up because we don’t want you to miss out on creating as many lasting relationships with our top quality affiliates as possible. That said, probably the easiest way to stay on top of new affiliate applications is the AvantLink Mobile App. Take a look at the features and see for yourself!
