RetailMeNot is looking into adopting AMP for some of our mobile landing pages. Our online business is affiliate-based, and so we try to ensure that we get last-click attribution when a user views an offer with a coupon code on our site.

Here's how we do so on a non-AMP merchant page (https://m.retailmenot.com/view/dominos.com.au, e.g.):

  1. the user clicks on an offer on the merchant page
  2. a new tab opens that displays the details of the offer (including the code)
  3. we navigate the original tab displaying the merchant page to the merchant's site, with our affiliate code attached

Because we cannot navigate the tab displaying the AMP merchant page (https://m.retailmenot.com/amp/view/dominos.com.au, e.g.), we have instead implemented the following flow to get last-click attribution:

  1. the user clicks on an offer on the AMP store page
  2. a new tab opens on m.retailmenot.com that displays the offer details with a "Reveal Code" button
  3. when the user clicks that button, we open the offer details with the code revealed in a new tab and navigate the original tab to the merchant

This adds an extra click to the process. We're concerned this will have a negative effect on our conversion funnel.

We asked our devrel partners about this and they recommended opening an enhancement issue to see what y'all thought.
