dffget_affid=1001&dffget_catnum=340&'.$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']); ?>

dffget_mernum

By adding dffget_mernum=<id> to the querystring, you can display only products from the specified merchant by default. You can find the mernum of a merchant by logging into your affiliate account and using the merchant finder. Example:
