Device + tariffs

Many retailers sell smartphones with a mobile contract as well. The one-off price is then not the price of the device – which is why affilinode keeps such offers apart as tariffs. The “Device + tariffs” box shows the device without contract at the top and the tariffs below.

From the Pro plan

Device + tariffs: offers without contract at the top, tariffs with effective monthly price below
Device + tariffs: offers without contract at the top, tariffs with effective monthly price below

What it does

  • Tariffs never count as the device’s best price
  • Provider, network, data allowance, term, monthly and device price
  • Sorted by effective monthly price
  • Tariffs detected in feeds or added by hand
  • Tariff calculators from comparison portals as your own box, with no third-party code

Where tariffs come from

In your partner programmes’ feeds, affilinode recognises contract offers by their title, category or tariff columns and takes over provider, network, data, term, monthly price and device price wherever the retailer supplies them. Items “without contract” stay normal offers. You can add your own tariffs at the product under “Offers” → “With contract (tariffs)”.

If a contract item has ended up as a product of its own in your catalogue, “Assign as tariff” attaches it to the device. affilinode remembers the assignment: when the feed delivers the item again, it goes straight to the device as a tariff.

Effective monthly price

Tariffs are compared by their effective monthly price: (one-off device price + connection fee + monthly price × term) / term. That way a cheap phone on an expensive plan and an expensive phone on a cheap plan can be compared fairly. The formula is also shown below the box.

Tariff calculators as a box

You store the partner link of a comparison portal such as CHECK24 or Tarifcheck once under affilinode → Tariff calculators, with the placeholders [plz] and [verbrauch]. [affilinode_calculator] turns it into your own box with input fields that opens the partner’s results – no third-party code runs on your page.

Examples

Good to know

  • Device + tariffs is part of a plan capability. If your plan doesn’t include it, editors see a short note instead of the box – the same applies to tariff calculators.
  • Nothing is sent to the portal until a visitor clicks; the link then carries your tracking ID plus the postcode and consumption the visitor entered.
  • Tariffs from a feed are updated with the next sync; if an item disappears from the feed, its tariff is switched off.
