Bing Cashback Gleam Code causing Security Warnings

Re: Bing Cashback Gleam Code causing Security Warnings

The <mvt:item name="mslscb" param="prod" /> item on the product page is for marketing purposes only. Microsoft wants you to put it there because it gives them exposure. But it is also good for the merchant because it lets the customer know that the particular product is eligible for cash back. That being said, you don't have to put the gleam on your product pages if you don't want to. It does not effect the operation of the program and will not change the fact that eligible products in the basket at checkout will still get the cashback generated.

I have contacted Microsoft to see if they have a secure link for the gleam code. If so we will be able to patch this in the next release.

Thanks Mark. My understanding (from Microsoft Tech Support) is that "Customers are eligible to get cash back on any item in your store regardless of whether it is ENABLED in your datafeed or not. The reward level for non-enabled items is based on the Base Commission you set when setting up your account." This is what I was told back in January.

Now that you mention it, I remember that too. I know that when a customer comes to your site from the Bing search engine, then all the products in the basket at checkout are reported to Microsoft.

Any way to get that changed so it's only the enabled products that are eligible for cashback? Vendors are starting to look at the cashback programs as gray areas with respect to their IMAP policies. Would be nice to be able to exclude certain brands from the program.

As it stands, I can disable certain brands from showing up on Bing Cashback, but yet end up paying 5% commission regardless....so might as well enable all if I'm going to end up paying the commission anyway.

No, you can lower your default cashback to their lowest rebate (2%) but that's it, the rest is their rules.

For the program we're discussing, they will not allow you set the cashback below 5%.

"Sorry, you cannot set a base commission lower than 5.00%."

I didn't know that, when we launched it was 2%. Either way, unless they've changed something it's all or nothing with them.

I think everything is under control now...thanks everyone. Don't know where I'd be without this forum!
