Initial conditions:

  • You have your own EFFECTUS system (Platform).
  • You have an affiliate account with a 3rd party using the EFFECTUS system (Network).
  • You would like to run an offer from the Network on your Platform.

Important:

  • To have client side 3rd party tracking available, IFRAME  pixel should be used for that offer on Network advertiser side

Set up process:

  1. Go to the "Add Offer" page, enter fields based on the offer information available on the Network"
  2. The "Landing Page URL" at the Platform should be set to your "Tracking URL" on the Network. The [SUB_ID] token should be replaced with [AFFILIATE_ID] token (we will send Platform Affiliate ID to Network as Affiliate Sub ID). 

    Example:

    http:// platform.revenuestreet.com/affiliate/goto_offer/50/234/[CREATIVE_ID]/[AFFILIATE_ID]
    50 - Offer ID at Network (preset)
    234 - your user ID at Network (preset)
    [AFFILIATE_ID] - we will send Platform affiliate ID to Network and it will be stored as Sub ID there
  3. Go to Platform Offer Details page, click Get Pixel and copy IMG pixel
  4. Find that Platform affiliate on the Network side, go to Affiliate Tracking Tags and add tracking tag for the particular offer. Use affiliate IMG pixel code (see above)

Testing

The 3rd party pixels fire could be seen at Network Offer Edit/Details page, Pixel Debugging.
