sticky.io supports appending affiliate and sub-affiliate id data to your order details, which will be included when generating reports. To do this, you must first know what fields you are going to use with your affiliate tracking system, we have three sets of affiliate/sub-affiliate fields to choose from:
Affiliate ID Fields: Sub-Affiliate ID Fields:
AFID SID
AFFID C1, C2, C3
AID OPT
In most cases you will only be using a single affiliate id & sub-affiliate id field name for all of your campaigns; this does vary based on your affiliate tracking system. We are currently setup to support Linktrust, HasOffers, Cake Marketing, HitPath & Direct Track’s data field names.
You will need to make sure your affiliate tracking system uses these fields also. As long as you append the affiliate and sub-affiliate fields to the API call that is sent to Sticky.io, with the order request, our system will then capture the data and pass it into our database and sales process.
Optional Field: click_id
The click_id is used by certain affiliate tracking systems to identify unique sales/requests. If you are using the Post Back URL feature from your campaign and you want to pass this field to your affiliate tracking system, then please make sure to append this field to your API request also, along with the affiliate and sub-affiliate fields.
