GoldenCAN has announced that Coupon Integration (Coupons and Recent Price Drops) feature will now be available in XML, RSS and preformatted HTML format (through GetData). The GoldenCAN RSS feature will return a valid RSS document that you can use in any RSS reader and get the data on your website.

With GoldenCAN XML, you will be able to make a simple http call to GoldenCAN and get an XML document back with coupons and recent price drop products of selected merchants.

Finally, GoldenCAN GetData will return a preformatted HTML as you see in GoldenCAN Coupon Integration. You can download this HTML using any programing language such as PHP, ASP, ASP.NET and Java and then display this preformatted HTML on your website with SEO benefits.

Overall, using these three features give more control to affiliate marketers over GoldenCAN Datafeed Integration. Personalization and SEO are two other benefits affliates could get by using these contents on your website.

These features currently are in beta testing.

I’ve seen affiliate networks, e-commerce store and merchants use RSS technology to distribute coupons and special offers. With a bit of programming, you personalize your offering in your webstore and further give more value to your visitors in accordance to your website relevance.
