What you'll need:
Campaign name or ID
Affiliate name or ID
Step 1.
Edit the affiliate’s profile page under CRM→Affiliates
Step 2.
Look at the Campaigns tab.
Are they in that campaign?
Step 3.
Look at the Pixels tab.
Do they have a pixel for that campaign?
If testing an upsell, do they have a pixel for that specific upsell?
Main Offer = any main offer - fires after Import Order
Specific Product - fires after Import Upsale w/ that campaign product ID
They can have one pixel for the main checkout and one for each upsell
Run a quick eye test
Commission Type: CPA
Pixel Type: must be postback for direct API integrations
Content: no typos jump out at you - correct use of tokens
Step 4.
Run a test using the Affiliate Test Link.
Open the affiliate test link in a new window or tab
Note the generated values in the URL tracking string
Use the Konnektive test card (0000000000000000 with cvv 100 and any current/future expiration date)
Step 5.
Look for the order in the Order Details Report.
Check the Source and Campaign columns to immediately see if right campaign and affiliate were linked to order.
If not, you can look at API logs (Forensics Tab on customer profile -or - Admin→Logs→API tab) to confirm which affiliate ID, campaignId, and productId were sent in your Import Lead and/or Import Order call. If any of these do not match how a pixel is setup, then a pixel will not fire.
OR
Step 6.
Go to the Customer Details page
Check the source values (under Other Info)
Does the campaign and source values line up with the passed values set for the affiliate and those that you saw created for the tracking string by the test link?
If checking a non-test order, is the credit card marked as prepaid?
No pixel will fire for orders placed using a prepaid card.
Step 7.
Go to the Order Details page.
If testing an upsell pixel, check the campaign product IDs
Click View Details next to the Pixels label inside the Details panel.
If a postback pixel, what is the response?
Ask the affiliate what they are seeing on their end and what that response means.
Sometimes the affiliate does not allow duplicate pixel tests, and the you will need to ask the affiliate for a new test link.
Is the pixel content what you/the affiliate expected?
Recheck the pixel setup
