We are excited to introduce a powerful new feature on AvantLink’s Arches platform — a page specific to managing Discounts. This new feature allows both merchant advertisers and affiliate partners to manage, share, and utilize discounts, promotions and coupon codes more efficiently, helping you maximize the success of your affiliate marketing efforts.
For Merchant Advertisers
With the Discounts page, merchant advertisers have full control over creating, scheduling, and updating discounts, promotions, and coupon codes for their affiliate partners in one place. One standout feature is the ability to use wildcard coupon codes. By using the asterisk (*) symbol, you can apply commission rules to multiple coupon codes, saving time and reducing complexity. For example, you can apply the same commission rule to “save123” and “saveabc” with a single setup using “save”. This simplifies managing large-scale promotions.
Additional features include:
- Scheduling discounts for specific holidays or busy seasons, ensuring promotions are active when they matter most.
- Applying rules for Exclusive, Restricted, or Qualified coupon codes to ensure that affiliates are rewarded correctly based on the type of promotion.
- Updating discounts in real time and sharing the latest offers directly with affiliates to ensure they have the most relevant deals.
- Enhanced Affiliate Access: Your affiliates will now have seamless access to your discounts and coupon codes directly through AvantLink’s Arches platform and AvantLink API
Merchants should also make sure that their tracking is properly set up to attribute coupon codes and communicate actively with affiliates to ensure proper promotion.

For Affiliate Partners
Affiliate partners now have a powerful tool at their disposal with the new Discounts page. From the dashboard, you can access all available discounts, promotions and coupon codes offered by your merchant partners. These discounts are easily searchable by title, merchant, or coupon code, making it faster than ever to find offers that align with your audience’s interests.
With just a few clicks, you can:
- Generate custom tracking links for each discount, allowing you to easily integrate promotions into your content.
- Filter by specific discounts or merchants, ensuring that you’re promoting the best possible offers for your audience.
- Track your performance using AvantLink’s reporting tools.
- Enhanced API Access: All new and active existing coupon codes will be available via the new AffiliateMerchantDiscounts API.
This tool enables you to create more targeted campaigns and track your results effectively.
