After the staggering response to our Deal Page widget, we thought it was only right to shrink it down into an MPU sized version for those of you who want a solution that is a little more compact.
You can generate your code here. You’ll need to use the same API Key that you were given when you previously requested it. If you’ve lost your API key or haven’t requested one yet, just drop us an email and ask!
Many of you were asking if you can use these tools on different websites with the same code; the short answer is yes, however, there was no way for you to differentiate between sales coming from the different sites. To solve this, we’ve added in a ‘clickref’ field which you can use when generating your code.
What is a clickref?
Let’s say you have two websites and you want to place the deal page widget on both of them, but you also want to be able to see which website is driving the most sales. Previously, this wasn’t possible, however we’ve now tweaked the widget a little so that you can generate two sets of code – one for each website – with different clickrefs e.g. ‘Site1‘ ‘Site2‘
This means you can then go to “Click References” under the reporting tab in Affiliate Window and see statistics for each individual clickref.
So, what are you waiting for? Claim your shiny new widgets today!

IT’S NO GOOD, IF NOBODY REPLIES TO MY EMAILS WITH API KEY, I CAN’T USE IT YET!!!!!
Hi Paul. We haven’t received an email from you I’m afraid. Can you email affiliates@groupon.co.uk, include your affiliate window ID in the message and we’ll send your API key right over.
Hi, will it be possible to publish a widget the same size as the rounded corner divs on this page?
Thanks
Hi Eric. We have a widget available for affiliates which is almost the same size as the one on the right-hand side of our blog; Over there somewhere —->
I’ve sent through the code you’ll need to the email address you posted this comment with.
Hi, is it possible to adjust the width to 220px to suit our website? thanks
Hi Neo. I’ve just sent you an email with your code for one of our smaller widgets.
Thanks Bill! Sizewise is not too bad, it would be better if could change the default city to Cardiff.
No problem! I’ll look into when we can get this widget updated to allow setting default cities.
Hi Bill,
Could I use this within our newsletter?
Hi Lucia. This won’t work in a newsletter I’m afraid. iFrames aren’t supported by most email clients as it can pose a bit of a security risk.
