Important Updates!

Please keep a watch on the Flipkart home page banners and browse through the Flipkart Offers Zone (including the Deal of the Day page) daily to keep yourself abreast of the on-going offers/deals on Flipkart.com this entire month so that you can update the same on your websites/blogs.
It has come to our notice that a few affiliates have been sending emailers to customers using the word "Flipkart" in the Sender Name and Sender Email ID (thus giving an impression that the email is being sent by Flipkart) which is a policy violation of Flipkart Affiliate Program terms & conditions. Kindly use your own name in Sender Name and Sender Email ID fields while sending emails promoting Flipkart products/deals.
Affiliate Commissions applicable on Flipkart Mobile Website too: Did you know that you can earn affiliate commissions for sales/orders that happen on Flipkart's mobile website (m.flipkart.com) too.
When you are promoting Flipkart products/offers through your mobile properties (Mobile App and/or Mobile Websites), you can send the traffic either to m.flipkart.com or www.flipkart.com (on Mobile Phones, it’ll be easier for your customers to browse Flipkart on m.flipkart.com). Don't forget to append your Affid at the end of the Flipkart links/urls similar to how you do it for normal website/blog (something like- m.flipkart.com/offers?affid=****). Only the www is replaced by m at the start of the Flipkart links/urls; rest of the URL format with the Affid remains the same.
NOTE: When to append ?affid=**** or &affid=**** - As a general rule, "?" is allowed to be used only once in any url. If a ? is already present in the link/url, all other parameters that follow after the "?" need to be prefixed with "&"
In case of any queries or assistance, feel free to get in touch with us on affiliate@flipkart.com
Hope you have a great Deepavali!
Best Wishes,
Flipkart Affiliate Team
