The Features and Services tab of an Advertiser Profile shows all features available to you from that advertiser.
Features
Each advertiser in the network will configure their program to highlight what features they have available; click the + to see more information.
Product Catalog
The Product Catalog data feed program provides product links and specific product data. It is well-suited to publishers who have the technical expertise and the resources to develop and support a very large database of secure product link URLs (HTTPS) and related product information that is updated on a daily basis.
Sites that are a good fit for the Product Catalog are generally large, more technically complex sites that add value to the shopping experience by drawing upon a large volume of detailed product information and presenting it to the visitors with additional helpful content, such as price comparisons, reviews, or products. This data feed is not currently available in the Beta Publisher Dashboard.
Cross-Device Tracking
Cross-device tracking is a feature that will enable tracking of conversion events generated by the same user on different devices. Tracking of these conversions will be based on a click in a different browser or different device from the browser or device where the actual conversion occurred.
Deep Links
Deep links are affiliate links, including tracking codes, created by publishers that direct a site's visitors to a specific page on an advertiser's site rather than to the advertiser's homepage. They are called deep links because they go deeper into a site.
