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]
You will just need to make sure the Ad link your customers will be clicking on includes the Tracking String outlined above, appended to tail of the sales link so the system can attribute the traffic/sales to the appropriate Source.
The funnel system already API’s built in place to extract those values from the links customers will be clicking on!
The passed values inside the URL string are case sensitive and much match exactly how they display inside the affiliate profile
The following API fields are used for passing the affiliate information:
affId - the CheckoutChamp 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
The numbers of the passed/source values must match how they are numbered in the passed values panel on the Affiliate Edit page.
Send the affiliate tracking string as part of the requestUri parameter in your first call for each new session.
This API will return a sessionId. Send the returned sessionId value as the sessionId parameter on the subsequent , , , and API calls to fill the Outcome column of the Conversion Details Report and also to provide Conv% on the Affiliate Report. See for our recommended API flow.
You can also pass the affiliate values directly to the or call.
