Merchant Offers Page
Discover new merchants and view all their holiday season offers in one place in the Merchant Offers Page. Find tailored offers by selecting from:
- Category
- Offer type – Coupon, free shipping, etc.
- Merchant type – Preferred or Favourite
- Country
- Status – Live or Coming soon
Alternatively, if you have a merchant that your readers love, you can use the search bar to view all offers from that specific merchant.
What’s more, you can directly view the offer description and terms and conditions under each offer, so you don’t have to leave the Hub to find out more!
Editor Toolbar
The Editor Toolbar is a must-have tool for anyone creating commerce content in Q4. Publishers can find new merchants to feature in commerce content and see which merchants are based in and out of your country directly from Google Search results!
All you need to do is search for a specific product or merchant in Google to view a variety of merchants that have an affiliate program with Skimlinks. As shown below, a blue Skimlinks logo appears beside merchants with affiliate programs in the country where the Publisher is based. A gray Skimlinks logo means that the merchant has an affiliate program outside the Publisher’s country. To see full commission details, Publishers can simply click through to the merchant’s site.
Please note, if a merchant does not have a Skimlinks logo displayed, they do not yet have an affiliate program with Skimlinks.
Download the Editor Toolbar here on a Google Chrome browser here.
We hope that you find these tools useful to find new merchants to feature in your holiday season commerce content. Make sure you check back soon for our final blog post in the Get Q4-Ready series, as it will cover everything you need to optimize your content during key shopping events!
