    [h=1]What is Shopzilla Publisher Program ?[/h] The Shopzilla Publisher Program is a CPC affiliate program connecting Shopzilla, Inc.’s world-class “where to buy” shopping solution to website publishers interested in monetizing their site content by integrating syndicated shopping content. Through a simple user interface, Shopzilla's Publisher Program provides affiliates access to a rich inventory of cataloged products and offers from thousands of merchants.
    As an affiliate, you are able to generate revenue by placing Shopzilla Publisher Program’s sponsored shopping content onto your site. Affiliates generate revenue based on the actual merchant leads, or redirects, that their website users generate to Shopzilla merchants. Affiliates are paid a percentage, or a commission, based on the net revenue collected by Shopzilla from merchants for these leads.

    [h=1]What is Mallmaze Affiliate System?[/h] Mallmaze Affiliate System is a system with which you can easily setup a market with all facilities using shopzilla catalog API service; with no need to have any technical knowledge. It is enough for you to register in our system and then to upload the files provided by us into your host.
    [h=2]To do so, take the following steps:[/h]

    1. Register a suitable domain for yourself.

      Note: The implementation of sub-domain or sub-folder for Mallmaze Affiliate System is not applicable.
    2. Find a host for your domain whose server is Apache and whose mod_rewrite is active. Also the curl extension in php.ini file needs to be active.

      Note: Possessing these facilities is mandatory.
    3. Register on Mallmaze Affiliate System ( adapt shopzilla language to your supermarket language ).

      Note: Each language product is different from other languages.
    4. Enter your Mallmaze account and go to "add new domain" part. Enter your domain profile.

      Note: The Shopzilla Placement ID available here is used in the redirects which are directed from this domain to the retailers’ website. By using that, you will be able to determine how much of your income has been through this domain.

      Note: You can also add Meta Keyword and Meta Descrition to your website. It should be noted that the system produces the suitable Metas automatically. If you enter the data, your data will be placed at the beginning of the produced Metas.
    5. The entered domain in this part can be seen in the list of domains. In this part, you can add more data to any of your domains including:

      • Settings:

        • The advertising scripts shown on the right and left side of the site and also on compare and redirect pages ( If the data is not entered, the Mallmaze Affiliate System advertising banner will be shown as your username. If someone clicks on these ads and registers on Mallmaze Affiliate System, they will be considered as your subset and you will receive a percentage of their income. )
        • Analyzing Script showing the number of visitors of your website (optional)
        • Files related to FavIcon and site Banner (optional)


      • Cateogries: In this part you can choose the groups of the product you would like to show on your website. In case of no choice, all groups will be shown.

      • Popular Searches: In this part you can see the searched keywords in your site and delete them if needed. The searched keywords are shown on the right column of the site separately for each group products in the order of the most to the least searched ones. In addition, if 30 days passes from the last searched keyword, the keyword will automatically be deleted.

      • Popular Supplies: In this part you can see the supplies visited in your site and delete them if needed. The visited supplies are shown in the order of the most to the least visited ones on the main page.In addition, if 30 days passes from the last visited supply, the supply will automatically be deleted.

      • You can delete your domain as well.


      Note: There is no limitation to the number of the domain added. You are free to add as many domains as you wish to. It, however, has to be noted that the language used in all the added domains will be the same as the language you filled while registering. You are also required to contact with Shopzilla in order for your domain to be approved ( In case you need to change your profile information, you can go to account profile ).
    6. Download the following file and extract it:

      [​IMG] mallmaze_user_files.zip

      Open config.php file using Hexadecimal Editor such as Notpad++, and enter you Site ID instead of “1” ( the Site ID is shown next to each domain on the domains list ).

      $config = array( "siteid" => "1" );

      Open .htaccess and in the following 2 lines enter the name of your domain instead of domain.tld as is shown in the sample ( sample: mallmaze.us ).

      RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.tld RewriteRule ^ http://www.domain.tld %{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

      change to:

      RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mallmaze.us RewriteRule ^ http://www.mallmaze.us %{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
    7. According to the language selected while registering, visit one of the websites below to register in the Shopzilla Affiliate System:

      English (US) : https://publisher.shopzilla.com/

    8. Shopzilla will approve your request after observing your website. After the approval, enter your Shopzilla Account Profile and add API request for your website from the API menu.
    9. After receiving API, enter your Mallmaze Account Profile and enter your API Key together with Publisher ID and Placement ID on the Information Account Profile.

      Note: Your Publisher ID is a number shown above your Shopzilla Account Profile on the right-hand corner.

      Note: Placement ID available here is used in the redirects which are directed from your subdivision websites to the retailers’ website. This option can be defined in the Shopzilla Placements section. By using that, you will be able to determine how much of your income has been through your subdivisions.


    [h=1]How does Mallmaze work?[/h] Registering and using the Mallmaze Affiliate System is free. However, Mallmaze sends Shopzilla 1 redirect per every 5 redirects done in your website using its own publisher ID. The rest will be sent by your own Publisher ID, and therefore all the related incomes will belong to you.

    [h=1]How to increase your income?[/h] Each Mallmaze user can increase their total revenue exponentially by marketing and attracting subdivisions. In this way that you can place your advertising banners, which can be seen on the “Your affiliates” section, in your desired websites, weblogs, or even send them to your friends or others via e-mail. When one, using these, enters the website and register, they will be considered as your subdivisions. From now on, per every 25 redirects done in your subdivisions website, 1 redirect, with your Publisher ID, will be sent to Shopzilla.

    Note: The number of your subdivisions can be seen on “Your Affiliates” page.

    Note: People who are referred by someone earn as much as people who register directly. The referrals commissions are paid from the total income of Mallmaze, not the subdivisions.
