Adding and Editing Affiliates

Open

Adding an Affiliate

Select 'CRM' and then 'Affiliates' from the navigation menu to get to the Affiliates Page.

From the Affiliates Page, you can see all of your existing affiliates and their details, including:

• Aff Id (affId - used in the tracking string AND as the affId parameter in Import Lead and Import Order to link orders to the affiliate)

• The affiliate's name

• The names of the campaigns to which they are allowed to send traffic

• Their campaign count

You can also search for affiliates by campaign or with the search bar

Open

Click the green + button in the right corner of the Affiliates panel

• Give your affiliate a Source Title (their name in the CRM) and click 'Create'.
  
  

Editing an Affiliate

On the Affiliates Page, click the blue edit button next to the affiliate you wish to edit.

From the Edit Affiliate Page, you can:

• Edit the Source Title and Aff ID

• Add and edit passed values

• Add to or remove the affiliate from campaigns

• See Sub Affs (publisher values) and disable them

• Add affiliate pixels

By default, order pixels will fire immediately upon the initial order, and will not be fired on orders using prepaid cards. However, checking “Fire Pixels On QA Approval” will delay the pixel from being fired until the order is approved in Quality Assurance.

Make the necessary changes and then click 'Update'. 'Last Update' at the top right of the panel will show the last user to update the profile and the date they were updated.

Passed Values

When setting up an affiliate, you need to clarify with your affiliate on which values they plan to send. An affiliate profile will have values c1, c2, and c3 by default upon creation. After talking with your affiliate, you will configure the values and then provide the affiliate with the tracking string shown at the top of the Passed Values section. It will be helpful to the affiliate to also provide definitions of each value (ex. Which is the publisher?, Which is the clickId?, etc) - or - they will tell you what values they plan to send, and you can configure the passed values based on that.

Click the green + button at the top right to add a passed value (you can have up to 5 per affiliate) or the blue edit button beside the value that you wish to edit.

These are values that the affiliate will send with traffic via the tracking string attached to the end of your website URL.

The numbered values correspond to the sourceValue1-5 parameters for Import Lead and Import Order API calls.

You can change the value names and mark one as the publisher and one as the sub affiliate.

NOTE: You cannot use "SOURCEID" as a value!

Affiliate Campaigns

Select the Campaigns tab to see all the campaigns the affiliate is currently in.

Click the green + button, select the campaign, and click 'Add Campaign' to add the affiliate to a campaign.

Click the delete button next to the campaign to remove the affiliate from that campaign.

Publishers

The Publishers tab shows all publisher values received for this affiliate.

You can disable publishers if you think they are sending bad traffic. Orders attached to disabled publishers will not be processed and instead will be declined with the message "Affiliate 27388495 blacklisted." (with 27388495 being the publisher value in this example)

Disabled publishers can be re-enabled.

Pixels

The pixels tab shows all pixels set up for the affiliate.

Please view this article for directions on how to add a pixel.
