Merchants, note an update to the Co-branded Application Forms post from March 14th. We’ve added functionality to automatically submit an application to your program once an Affiliate you refer completes your co-branded application form.

Here’s how to link to your co-branded application form:

1. Take our standard application form URL, which is:

   https://www.avantlink.com/affiliate_app.php

2. Add the parameter of “mi=MERCHANTID” to that URL, with MERCHANTID being your merchant ID in AvantLink.

So for example, Wakeside.com would use the following href to link to their co-branded application form:

<a href=”https://www.avantlink.com/affiliate_app.php?mi=10089″>

This URL in the link above would pull in the Wakeside logo and auto apply the applicant to their program once s/he is approved at the network level.

If you don’t know your merchant id in AvantLink feel free to email support/at/avantlink.com and we’ll send it over. Or you can just go to your public branded detail page, which will be linked up from our Merchant Directory, and note the # in URL that’s before your name. For example with “10089/wakeside.html”, 10089 is the merchant ID.
