From the Administration Panel main menu, select Manage Affiliates. Select Link Code from the top menu bar.
The affiliate link code generator enables the store administrator to create banners and text ads for affiliates to use in their web sites, ezines, and newsletters. Once the store administrator enters the banners and text ads, the code generator automatically inserts each affiliate's ID into the code for them to copy from their affiliate support panel.

HTML Code (Link text)
Enter the text and HTML that will be provided to affiliates for advertising. Tokens can be used within the HTML link code to provide affiliates with a copy of the code with the correct affiliate ID number . For example, if the URL to your affiliate.php script is http://www.yourdomain.com/affiliate.php and the referring affiliate's ID is 2, then when affiliate number 2 logs in, he will see the link code with the id=2 parameter. http://www.yourdomain.com/affiliate.php?id=2
Link Code Tokens
There are two tokens, which can be used to insert the affiliate.php URL with each affiliates' ID number.
%affiliatelink% inserts the URL to the affiliate.php script on your site and adds each affiliates' ID parameter.
Example: You enter this text and HTML into the affiliate link code generator.
We like to <a href="%affiliatelink%">Go here</a>.
Affiliate number 2 sees the following link code when logged into his or her affiliate panel.
We like to <a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/affiliate.php?id=2">Go here</a>.
