Activate retailer %26 redirect
Retailer activation is how your users can earn cashback and rewards from Sleek’s deals.
This API will redirect your users to the retailer’s website automatically and activate the retailer deal.
How to use
This API should be called every time your user wants to activate a deal. The API will return a URL or automatically handle redirects so that your user can visit to complete the activation process.
This API is unauthenticated and expected to be called on the client side from your user’s devices.
Since this API is a GET request, you can use it to redirect your user to the
retailer’s website directly.

Users click deal links more often if the link is to your domain, due to trust and simplicity in the activation experience.
Consider putting your applications URL in front of the Sleek API URL to give your customers a seamless experience. For example:
Then, your application would have a route that would redirect to the Sleek API URL.
