The display rules feature is very powerful for organizing and prioritizing merchants in your affiliate content. These rules allow you to choose which merchants you want to highlight or hide based on criteria you define. The granularity of configurable criteria gives you many possibilities, whether for promotional campaigns or for hot and cold content.
Where are display rules located in Affilizz?
From a view with your organization’s hierarchy, hover over the "..." of a media and access the "settings" menu.
Once in the media settings, go to "display rules".
How to create a rule group and associated rules
Click the "Add a rule group" button in the center of the page.
💡 A rule group allows you to target a country, tags, and widget types. The rules will apply when the specified criteria are met.
Configure your rule group:
Name the group to make it easier to identify if you create multiple groups (e.g., "exclude marketplaces").
Assign a location (default value is "all countries").
Assign a tag (optional) (tags must be created beforehand).
Select the widget types that will be affected.
Confirm the creation of the rule group.
Add a rule to the group and configure it
Click "add a first rule" within the rule group.
Define each condition for the rule. In the example screenshots, we will choose to exclude marketplace offers from all merchants.
Priority / Rule type
- Exclude: Excludes the merchant offer(s) from widgets based on the criteria defined in the rule.
- Include: Includes the merchant offer(s) in widgets based on the criteria defined in the rule.
💡 The include option works after a global exclusion. For example, if you decide to exclude all marketplace offers from all merchants but want to include offers from a specific merchant, first create the exclusion rule, then add an inclusion rule.
- At the same price, display first: Displays a merchant’s offers first compared to others when prices are equal, based on the rule criteria.
- Always display first: Always displays a merchant’s offers in the first position in widgets based on the rule criteria.- Never display first: Never displays the merchant offer(s) in the first position in widgets based on the rule criteria.
Merchant type
- Marketplace: Priority applies to marketplace offers.
- Non-Marketplace: Priority applies to non-marketplace offers.
- All merchant types: Priority applies to all merchant types..
Condition
- New offer: Priority applies to new offers.
- Used offer: Priority applies to second-hand offers.
- Refurbished offer: Priority applies to refurbished offers.
- All conditions: Priority applies to all product conditions.
Merchant(s)
- Choose the merchant(s) to which the rule applies (selecting one or multiple merchants depends on the rule type).
- All merchants: The rule will apply to all merchants.
Confirm your rule (an explanatory sentence summarizing the rule).
Once validated, your rule is immediately active in your widgets.
Modify / Delete a group or rule
You can modify or delete your groups or rules at any time by clicking on the "..."
