Affiliate Tracking Link/String
Last updated
Last updated
To find your affiliate’s tracking string, navigate to CRM → Affiliates then click the blue Edit button.
When your Affiliate sends traffic they will use an Affiliate Tracking Link, which will link the Affiliate to the Traffic / Order.
The Tracking Link is the URL for your landing page with the Tracking String appended to the end.
The Tracking String is located in the the Passed Values section on the affiliate's profile. The Tracking String contains the affId and Passed Values.
Up to five Passed Values can be added inside of each affiliate profile and they can be configured to be in any order that you would like. You can also determine which values represent the Publisher and the Sub Affiliate to view reporting by these values.
In the example above, the affiliate has the following passed values: c1, c2, c3, SubAffId, testValue
A full url example would look like this:
https://yourcheckouturl.com/checkout?&affId=[affId-assigned-by-system]&c1=[c1-value]&c2=[c2-value]&c3=[c3-value]&SubAffId=[SubAffId-value]&testValue=[testValue-value]
If you are using Form-Code, after setting up your landing page or shopping cart and adding the affiliate to the campaign, you will see a sample tracking link in the affiliates panel on the Edit Campaign page.
Make sure that your affiliate uses their tracking link and Form-Code will take care of the rest.
Form-Code is deprecated and no longer supported. It remains available for legacy reasons.
Send the affiliate tracking string as part of the requestUri parameter (url encoded) in your first Import Click call for each new session.
The passed values inside the URL string are case sensitive and much match exactly how they display inside the affiliate profile
This API will return a sessionId. Send the returned sessionId value as the sessionId parameter on the subsequent Import Lead, Import Order, Import Upsell, and Confirm Paypal API calls to fill the Outcome column of the Conversion Details Report and also to provide Conv% on the Affiliate Report. See here for our recommended API flow.
You can also pass the affiliate values directly to the Import Lead or Import Order call.
The numbers of the passed/source values must match how they are numbered in the passed values panel on the Affiliate Edit page.
The following API fields are used for passing the affiliate information:
affId - the Konnektive affId (Find affId on the Affiliates Page or on the Affiliate Edit Page)
sourceValue1 - passed value #1
sourceValue2 - passed value #2
sourceValue3 - passed value #3
sourceValue4 - passed value #4
sourceValue5 - passed value #5
