Implementation guide example
Step 1
Insert the following javascript code in the <HEAD> of every page on the platform
This code will make it possible to load the search engine and the product recommendations on the page.
<script src="https://www.giftomatic.io/dist/websnippet.js"></script>
Step 2
Create a new page on your platform for the Giftomatic product search engine and paste this code in the <BODY>
Place this code where you want the search engine to appear.
<script>var gftmtc = gftmtc || [];
gftmtc.push({
version: "2.0",
type: "inspire",
client: "VOUCHERLINE",
campaignId: 15508,
id: "giftomatic-snippet-15508"
});</script> <ins id="giftomatic-snippet-15508" style="display:none;"></ins>
Example
Step 3
Add a CTA to the gift card emails and use the supplied link
Email links
Use these links for behind the CTA button in emails.
For all outgoing links to retailers you can add the following prefix:
https://www.giftomatic.io/out?dataset=VOUCHERLINE&url=
After the prefix you add the URL of the webshop/redemption partner: https://www.example.com. This URL needs to be encoded. You can easily encode URLs through this website: https://www.urlencoder.org/
For example:
https://www.giftomatic.io/out?dataset=VOUCHERLINE&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.argos.co.uk
What this prefix does:
This prefix ensures that Giftomatic can turn any outgoing click into an affiliate link. This is much better than hardcoded link, because affiliate links can break which leads to a dead link which is a bad user experience.
Another advantage of this prefix is that if today an outgoing link can't be monetized, tomorrow it might be possible. Giftomatic will automatically monetize the link once the merchant becomes active in affiliate marketing. Last but not least: there is no need to communicate new redemption partners to Giftomatic, these will be automatically seen and picked up thanks to the prefix link.
