In most cases the account manager will be able to enter this type of\ntracking. This is the easiest solution as it does not require any variables and\nis able to automatically track all the affiliates\u2019 conversions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use\npostback url tracking<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>If the\nprevious solution is not possible, you can try with the Postback URL tracking,\nwhich sends server side conversion notifications. To track with postback, you have\nto add a parameter in your links, for example: &amp;subid1=[clickid], and\nretrieve it in the postback url, for example &amp;c={subid1}. In this case you should\nask your account manager which variables you can use, or if they have a\ndocumentation to refer to, since each platform has different variables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manual\ntracking<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>If none of the 2 solutions above is available, the only alternative is to manually add transactions based on those resulting in the parent affiliate platform (maybe grouped by week or month). To help yourself, you can use the IP address of the click, or add a parameter with the identifier of the affiliate in the links. For example: &amp;subid1=[affiliateid].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:58px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are\nour customer and you are having issues tracking with an affiliate platform, you\ncan send us their documentation or the names of their variables, and we will\nhelp you integrate it with AffiliationSoftware.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to track other affiliate platforms This tutorial explains how to contact an account manager of an affiliate platform and what steps need to be taken to track an AffiliationSoftware campaign automatically.
