merchant Gambio (xt:Commerce) All Order registration per product including VAT GAMBIO TRADETRACKER CONVERSION IMPLEMENTATION

You can use the filter options above to select your shop system, the version of your shop. The Version info selection is a short description of the implementation method we created for the shop you selected.

Download the tradetracker.php file and upload it to the /includes/ folder, located in the root of your FTP account.

Locate checkout_success.php in the root of your account: /WEBROOT/checkout_success.php

Open the checkout_success.php file and within the code locate the following line:
[marker]$main_content = $smarty->fetch(CURRENT_TEMPLATE.'/module/checkout_success.html');[/marker]
Copy and paste the following code above the aforementioned highlighted line of code.

$tt_campaignID = '[marker]CAMPAIGN_ID[/marker]';
$tt_productID = '[marker]PRODUCT_ID[/marker]';
$tt_imageTag = include './includes/tradetracker.php';
$smarty->assign('tt_imageTag', $tt_imageTag);

Make sure to replace the campaignID and productID with the ID's you received from TradeTracker if they are not set in this example.

The result is as follows:
$tt_campaignID = '[marker]CAMPAIGN_ID[/marker]';
$tt_productID = '[marker]PRODUCT_ID[/marker]';
$tt_imageTag = include './includes/tradetracker.php';
$smarty->assign('tt_imageTag', $tt_imageTag);

[marker]$main_content = $smarty->fetch(CURRENT_TEMPLATE.'/module/checkout_success.html');[/marker]

LOCATE THE CHECKOUT SUCCESS HTML TEMPLATE
Locate the checkout_success.html file in the template folder you are using for your site. Normally the checkout_success.html template file is to be found in the following location:

/templates/{TEMPLATE_NAME}/module/checkout_success.html

IMPORTANT NOTICE It is important to use the template file of the actual template you are using for your site. If for example the template "EyeCandy" is used, the location of the checkout success file would be: /templates/EyeCandy/module/checkout_success.html

Copy and paste this piece of code at the bottom of the checkout_success.html template file:
<!-- TradeTracker conversion tracking start -->
{$tt_imageTag};
<!-- TradeTracker conversion tracking end -->

When done, upload or save the file to your server and overwrite the checkout_success.html file.

After these steps are performed, the campaign is ready to be tested. Make sure you use the TradeTracker Tracking Test URL before doing the test. If you don’t have the test URL, please ask your account manager to provide it to you.

Please keep in mind that although we do our very best to cover a wide variety of different implementations and web shop systems, programming languages and conversion registration methods for different situations, we want to state here that they are all merely examples and are not guaranteed to work for your specific situation or specific conversion or tracking needs. The reason for this is that the implementation descriptions provided are based on default system configurations and do not take system configuration settings, customisations and usage of plug-ins into account. Besides that there are also a lot of other variables that can have impact on the correct working of our tracking and conversion registration which we just can't know upfront. In case you do encounter or experience issues when implementing our tracking, please report this to your account manager and describe (in detail) the steps you took and if it's possible, provide the code and/or files you are using for your implementation to the account manager.

merchant General All Server to Server (S2S) tracking Setting up Server to Server (S2S) tracking
Server to server tracking is used in situations where regular conversion registration is not possible by means of placing our tracking code within the publicly available pages on your website (known as "client-side tracking"). The S2S method relies on a unique click identifier to be stored on your server and passed back at the time of the conversion.

We are able to pass our unique click identifier to each page on your website and you are free to choose exactly what the name of this parameter should be, e.g. "someparameter".

The tracking data value is a unique reference to identify clicks within our system and is unique for each incoming click on your website.

As a result, a link to one of your landing pages will look something like:

http://yourwebsite.com/landing/page?someparameter=[marker]0%3A%3A12345%3A%3Areference%3A%3A%3A%3A1405418672[/marker]
Please note we always send this parameter url-encoded. Also, it's important this value is stored somewhere within a storage of choice, e.g. a memory database and/or a relational database, depending on the usage. When using a database, it can for example be stored within a column ttClickID or any other column name you prefer.

How to pass back the click identifier
Whenever a conversion is triggered for which an affiliate should receive a reward, this click identifier should be passed back to TradeTracker.
One of the tasks that lies ahead for your development team, is to store this unique click identifier, together with the information that is used to trigger this conversion.

Example
Let's assume you run an online gaming website and you reward affiliates for bringing in new players. It's important that our unique click identifier is stored together with the new player information so that it can be accessed at the time of conversion trigger.

Within a database it would look something like:

idnameuseremlregdatettClickID
111J. Smithjsmith00jsmith@eml.net2014-09-01[marker]0::12345::abc::::1405418672[/marker]
112J. Doeplayer123doe.j@email.org2014-09-0212::54321::def::::1405419867

LEAD CONVERSION CALLBACK
In case an event is triggered that resembles a lead conversion (e.g. user registration), the following callback format is used:

https://tl.tradetracker.net/?s2s=1&cid=[marker]CAMPAIGN_ID[/marker]&pid=[marker]PRODUCT_ID[/marker]&tgi=&tid={transactionID}&descrMerchant={descrMerchant}&descrAffiliate={descrAffiliate}&data=[marker]{ttClickID}[/marker]&vc={voucherCode}

SALES CONVERSION CALLBACK
If an event is triggered that resembles a sales conversion (purchase, booking), the following callback format is used:

https://ts.tradetracker.net/?s2s=1&cid=[marker]CAMPAIGN_ID[/marker]&pid=[marker]PRODUCT_ID[/marker]&tgi=&tid={transactionID}&tam={transactionAmount}&descrMerchant={descrMerchant}&descrAffiliate={descrAffiliate}&currency={currency}&data=[marker]{ttClickID}[/marker]&vc={voucherCode}
In the above callbacks the {ttClickID} is tied to a fixed "data" parameter and its value must be replaced by the value saved during the initial click (and eventually stored within a database, like the table above).

Note: Please make sure all values are URL-encoded.

Example formatted callback

merchant General All Using multiple product group ID's WHEN OR WHEN NOT TO USE MULTIPLE PRODUCT GROUPS

Within the conversion script there is an option "productID". This is an ID that is generated by TradeTracker.
It is possible to specify a commission structure per product group.

It is not a description of your product or a category description or something, which is often assumed.

There is only one situation in which multiple product groups (ID's) should be used.
The only reason to use multiple product group ID's is when you offer 2 or more groups of products for which the difference in profit margin is so large that it is a risk to use 1 general commission model. For this purpose and only this, we would advise the usage of an additional product group ID, but even in this situation it is not 100% necessary. You could also base the affiliate commission you want to pay on the average profit margin of your entire shop. Just keep in mind that only a part of your sales will derive from your affiliate marketing endeavours. At the bottom line the actual commission percentages you spent on affiliates (when using your total profit margin to base this on) will always be on the low side in relation to your total average profit-margin percentage.

It is always possible to use product groups. But every situation is client specific.

There is no 1 general product group implementation solution.

The system you use does not matter, the way the system is configured is more important.


In essence using product groups requires just some basic web programming, in principle it is:

if product x is in category A use product group ID 1
else if product x is in category B use product group ID 2


The amount of time a client will need to set up the usage of product groups for their campaign will depend on the individual situation. We can't say that upfront, because we just can't know, because it is always a custom solution. If someone would need 20 different product groups and they/we would have to create very large regular expressions in order to identify each product to be able to set the correct group for it, it will be somewhat time consuming to set up.On the other hand, if the site already uses correct defined categories that are corresponding with the groups they want to use for example, it would be easier to set up. What you need to take in to consideration is how you are able to identify for each product in which product group the product must be. The usage of categories within a site is for example 1 way to do this. In case you do still need to use multiple product groups, there are some things to take into account.

How will you identify the correct product group for each product within an order?
For each product you must be able to identify the correct product group based on a specific identifier, this can be the SKU or category for example.

An order can consist of products from multiple product groups. This implies that the product group will have to be identified on product level, per individual item.

This can be done by a so called basket loop that runs through each product within the order and checks the order category for example.

In the example below a check is done on orderCategory that is a property of order. In case the orderCategory is "hardware" that product gets productID: 321.

$amountsPerProductGroup = array();
foreach ($orders as $order) {
switch($order['orderCategory']) {
case 'hardware':
$productID = '321';
break;
case 'software':
$productID = '322';
break;
default:
$productID = '323'; // "general" product ID.
break;
}

$amountsPerProductGroup[$productID] += $order['orderAmount'];
}

merchant General All Exclusive voucher codes EXCLUSIVE VOUCHER CODES

Exclusive voucher code tracking makes it possible for advertisers to make voucher codes in the TradeTracker interface exclusive for one affiliate. Although advertisers often hand out vouchers exclusively to one publisher, this feature offers full exclusivity. This implies that when the voucher is used by a consumer, the last touchpoint will always go to the exclusive affiliate. This means that even when another affiliate or website is communicating this voucher code and generates traffic using this voucher code, the last touchpoint will go to the publisher granted with the exclusivity.

If you are a new Advertiser, please proceed to our general conversion script page and implement the pixel.

If you are a existing Advertiser, please amend your conversion script with following (place in script that requires additions is marked):
- Add vc:'EXCLUSIVE_CODE', to conversion script
- Add &vc= parameter to image pixel

Note: EXCLUSIVE_CODE should be variable passed to the script from your system. It is case-sensitive and it should be passed from your voucher code field on checkout page.

Note 2: If you are using any form of deduplication, please make sure that our complete tracking script is always triggered if this exclusive voucher code is used by a consumer. Otherwise offline tracking will not be possible and the voucher will not be full-exclusive for the publisher.

merchant General All Multi country campaign conversion script MULTI COUNTRY CAMPAIGN CONVERSION SCRIPTS
TradeTracker campaigns get a unique campaign ID per country in which the campaign will be active. The Tracking Group ID is used to be able to use just 1 general conversion script on your confirmation page, instead of a script for each country in which the campaign is active. The way that this works is that our system will check for each campaign within the tracking group where the originating click came from and assigns any resulting conversions to the correct campaign in the correct country.

The multi-country conversion script should only be used after receiving a Tracking Group ID from your account manager.

Please note that the script you choose below must contain 1 of your campaign ID's (in general just the main campaign ID) in order for the conversion scripts to work.

The campaign ID that is added is only used to check if the main campaign is active, the tracking group number is used to assign the conversion to the correct campaign in our system.

affiliate General All Custom clickout script Using a custom clickout script

As affiliate you can easily create a custom click out script which enables you to easily handle all kind of events like for example click registration or forwarding users from a secure (https) environment to a non-secure location.

In a PHP environment for example, you can create a page containing the following code:

<?php
if (!empty($_GET['url']))
{
// Your custom code here, e.g. click registration.
$x = new ClickHandler();
$x->saveClickToDatabase($_GET['url']);

// When done, forward to the requested location.
exit(header('Location: ' . $_GET['url'], true, 301));

In this example a file called clickout.php is created and placed in the root folder of the website.

Links on your website would eventually look like:

<a href="https://yourwebsite.com/clickout.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftc.tradetracker.net%2F%3Fc%3D27%26m%3D0%26a%3D1">Clickout</a>
Please note that the value of the "url" parameter should always be URL-encoded according to official standards.

merchant General All Redirect IMPLEMENTING TRADETRACKER REDIRECT AND CONVERSION INSTRUCTIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS
The articles on these pages are created to help you implement our tracking and conversion registration method.

If you arrived at this portal by using a link that was sent to you, we would like to inform you about the accompanying document to these pages.
This document contains more or less similar information as to be found on this site, but is structured chronological and contains links to the relevant pages on this site, making it somewhat easier to read, depending on what you prefer.
The document is part of the start mail you received or available in your account.

Implementing our click registration and conversion tracking should take about 30 minutes up to 2 hours for general situations.
Although it can be done in 15 minutes in case you are already familiar with setting it up using an available pre-configured implementation method and if there are no unexpected surprises. It can however be longer in more complex set-ups with more stakeholders or when encountering other problems.

We highly recommend you to read the information in the document or on this site.
These articles contain important information about how, why and what you should do in order to set up your campaign successfully.

Setting up the TradeTracker tracking consists of 2 parts:
1) Registering a click from the affiliate’s website to your site.
2) Registering resulting conversions to be able to match the click to the sale.

In order to be able to implement our tracking system, you must be able to:
1) Create a redirect location on your (sub) domain.
2) Make modifications to the checkout success / order confirmation page of your web shop system.

The first thing that needs to be done is getting the click registration mechanism to work.
The redirect is based on creating a location on your domain which will handle all incoming clicks from your affiliates. This can be done by either creating a separate rewrite path or physical directory and making one of our redirect example code files available to handle the incoming clicks. Optionally, you may also create a subdomain (e.g. offers.merchant.com) and making the desired redirect available within the root of your subdomain. This is the preferable method in case you want to keep this implementation separate from your regular developments on your main domain.

The available languages we offer are ASP (.asp) | Coldfusion (.cfm) | CSHARP (.aspx) | JSP (.jsp) | PERL (.pl) | PHP (.php) | Python (.py) | Visual Basic ASPX (.aspx).

DOWNLOAD THE AVAILABLE REDIRECT REDIRECT SCRIPT EXAMPLES HERE and extract the zip-file to your computer.

The zipped file contains directorys that represent the programming language of the redirect script example. You should choose an redirect script example in a language (extension) that is supported by your server.

ADD YOUR DOMAIN NAME TO THE INDEX REDIRECT FILE
The redirect script example to use depends on the type of server and the programming language that is supported by your server.
To make sure our tracking is working as intended, the domain of your website (without www. ) must be added to the redirect file. Check the file for the "domainName" variable and change to your main domain accordingly.
If your shop is running on www.merchant.com or shop.merchant.com for example, the domainName value to enter would be "merchant.com".

By default the redirect script example we provide should work in most situations. They are created, tested and verified to work for the majority of our clients. We do not encourage further modification of the provided redirect script example, unless you have a very good reason to do so and know exactly what you are doing.

MAKING THE REDIRECT AVAILABLE
Within the introduction e-mail that you received from your account manager a suggestion for the location of the redirect location is made. If you decide to use an other location, please communicate this to your account manager because the correct location is needed to get your campaign to work as intended.

CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR THE REDIRECT
The redirect location name should be a phrase that best represents your shop or topic of your site. If you have a website that sells fashion items or clothing, the name of the redirect directory should represent this. For instance in this case it might be www.yourwebsite.com/fashion/ or www.yourwebsite.com/clothing/.

Please refrain from using a name that resembles any connection or relation to TradeTracker like www.yourwebsite.com/tt/ www.yourwebsite.com/tracking/ www.yourwebsite.com/tradetracker/ or www.yourwebsite.com/redirect/ for example.

You should verify that the suggested directory is not already part of your website’s link structure. This can be the case if URL rewriting is used for the suggested directory and content is already attached to the suggested location. If that is the case, please think of an alternative location/directory to place the redirect file.

Turn URL rewriting off in case you use an actual "physical" directory
In case your site is using URL rewriting to create pretty links on your website, URL rewriting must be turned off for the redirect directory in order for it to work correctly. This is done in different ways for different server environments. On an Apache web server, the URL rewrite engine can be turned off for a specific directory by placing an .htaccess file within the redirect directory containing the line:

RewriteEngine Off
For more information about URL rewriting and links to different server settings we refer you to Wikipedia - URL Rewrite Engine.

In case your server supports .htaccess files you can download a zipped .htaccess file to use here.

SUMMARY TO SET UP THE REDIRECT LOCATION

1. Determine the server environment and choose the programming language format accordingly (or create one based on one of the example codes)
2. Create the redirect location (either a rewrite, physical directory or subdomain)
3. Set the domainName variable with your main domain (without www.) in the redirect script example
4. Make the redirect script publicly available at the chosen location and if using an actual physical directory, turn off the URL rewrite engine according to your server configuration options
5. Use the tracking test URL that corresponds to the redirect location to test the redirect

When these steps are done, you are ready to test the redirect to your site by using the tracking test link.

If you did not receive the tracking test link or used a different then suggested redirect location, please contact your account manager.

SETTING UP THE TRADETRACKER CONVERSION SCRIPT AND IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS
Before you start copying and pasting the codes that can be found by clicking the links below to your site and come to the conclusion that it's not working as you had planned, please hold on to your horses. Implementing our conversion script requires some thought and consideration. The reason for this is that there are a lot of options and configuration situations to take into account.

Do you have a custom built website? If so, what program language is used? Do you use a Payment Service Provider? An existing web shop system? Are for example things that influence the technical implementation strategy to follow.

We have described a couple of things for you to consider or determine before continuing the implementation.

When you have a clear picture of your technical environment and the other factors described above, you have to main options:

PRE-CONFIGURED WEBSHOP CONVERSION IMPLEMENTATION SOLUTIONS
click the link above to see if we have a solution for your environment available.
The advantages are that these solutions are already configured to use the correct variable values and tested in a default installation of the web shop system.

OUR UNIVERSAL CONVERSION SCRIPTS.
Our universal script is the script that we use to create the web shop specific solutions.
The script requires the variable values that are needed to register conversions within our system to be added manually, but it can be used for any situation.
It does require some basic programming knowledge of the environment in which the script must be placed or use the supported variable placeholders of your shop or environment.
