An option I've noticed on a new affiliate program I've joined. What is it, and is there any training here on how it works?
It's what I thought...mainly for e-commerce sites. I was just wondering if there was a way of ensuring the products I have affiliate links to are in stock with the merchant. Probably overthinking it!
Hi, there are some good pointers on the link below Trying to import product feed into my website?

A product feed is a comprehensive list of the items offered for sale on a merchant's site. Usually it includes a product description, image, price, options (size, color, etc.). Sometimes it will also show when something is on sale. It also includes your affiliate link for each item, so it's super easy to use that link
Often it comes on an excel spreadsheet and you can use a variety of tools to convert that to all sorts of different things. You can usually filter it by product type, category and countless other choices to fit your individual article or your entire site.
Some publishers turn it into a store on their site. Some publishers will use it simply for the images or descriptions.
The vast majority of merchants offer product feeds. It's smart to take advantage of them for sure.

I've just joined a new affiliate program and noticed this as an option. Just wondering what it is and whether I should use it.
Deeplinking enables you to create a link which points directly to a single page on a merchant's site.
So, for example, if you are talking about a specific boot on a merchant site which sells hundreds of different models of boots, you can make sure that the consumer goes straight to the page on that boot. It's much better than just pointing the consumer to the home page and making them try to find that specific boot on the site. It converts much better than just pointing to the merchant home page.
Most merchants permit this, a few don't (usually financial merchants).
