We have launched a brand new feature to Easy Content Units to make it even simpler for you to create a merchant based content unit.  The Random Product Units are essentially product units for a particular merchant which shows a selection of products on offer from their inventory.

You can access the Random Product Units by clicking on ‘Create a Unit’ from the left hand menu.

Admin page for Random Content Units

Firstly name your unit, then choose a merchant from the drop down menus below which are divided up by network.

Choose how many products you’d like to show.

For those of you who would like to show some ‘keyword focussed’ random products, then you can add an exact term in the search box at the bottom of the page.

Now it’s back up to the continue box at the top which will lead you to the normal ‘Styling’ page, where you can customise the unit to your hearts content.  Don’t forget to save your styling as a template, so you don’t need to re-customise each ECU!

We think this is a great addition to the ECU offering, which allows affiliates to showcase a selection of merchant’s products on their pages, without hunting out products yourself.  Of course there’ll be no products going missing from your ECU as your units are filled when called – direct from our system.
