PLEASE NOTE
I was unable to post all the Screenies I had taken because there is a limit of how many Images I can show here. The same post has been posted on my blog with all the images, its just one or two more. I will be happy to answer questions that anyone has! Cheers!
I hope it?s obvious that you firstly need to be a partner with ShareASale to use this method of datafeeds and the merchant?s program should also be on <a href="http://www.shareasale.com">ShareASale.com</a>
Firstly you will have to log into your affiliate account over <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/a-login.cfm ">here</a>
As soon as you log in you can access the Make a Page feature from the link circled in the Image below.

Then click on the link provided to launch the tool as shown.

Now you can begin work with feeds of those Merchants who do not have categorized data feeds (I feel every merchant should provide a range of custom categories) To work with Merchants with the Categorized data feeds you can do so by taking a look at the screenshot below.

In the primary search area you get the custom fields that the merchants provide with each of their datafeeds

Since I handle Flora2000 and have a customized feed I chose, this example! The most important custom field is the one marked below. Or you will be sending your visitors to various country sections on our site when they expect to send products to another country.

The column in the below Image will help you choose products that have discounts. Those are the values of the discounts available. (These colums or custom categories vary from merchant to merchant)

Select products as per the categories on our sites.

Select products as per the sub categories on our site.

So these are our final selections below.

Then you come up to the page options. Here you can choose how the page will look on your site, how many items you would like to display, if you want them to have a border etc.
I have enlisted a couple of sites that have the HTML color code charts to help choose your link colors and border colors.
<a href="http://www.christiansitehosting.com/Hexadecimal%20Color%20Coding%20Chart.gif">HTML Color Codes 1</a>
<a href="http://ific.uv.es/~gonzalez/webtutor/makapage/pics/net216-2.gif">HTML Color Codes 2</a>
Do not forget to tick mark the Custom Value fields so that you get the results you want! Choose the fields you would like to display as well.
Hit the view results button and there you go the code as well as the results lined for you as you requested.
Hope this has been a fruitful learning experience and will help you make maximum use of this wonderful tool made by ShareASale. Save your commission by not getting a third party to do this for you.
