How can I request an integration?

For publishers

Are you using an affiliate program or network that isn't listed here yet?

Get in touch with the following information and we'll be happy to investigate what support would look like:

Affiliate portal login page URL
Publisher API documentation URL (if available)
A sample transaction export of the last 12 months via CSV or XLSX (if available)
3-5 different examples of affiliate links via this program
Any information about the SubID tracking capabilities of the platform
How much revenue you generated through the platform in the last 30 days and last year
How critical is this to your business, on a scale from 1-5. With 1 being "just seeing if it's possible", and 5 being "the most critical integration."
Contact information for someone at the company (if available)

Please keep in mind that we can support almost any affiliate program which is running affiliate software that exposes an API for publishers.

We prioritize integrations based on commission volume and presence of SubID tracking, and don't integrate new networks without an existing, meaningful volume of commissions to test against.

Finally, we cannot support programs that do not already provide some kind of exportable reporting data on the transaction level.

At a bare minimum, the platform must provide:

A timestamp
A unique identifier per row (such as a transaction ID, order ID, booking ID, or similar)
Some kind of individual transaction export (i.e. not aggregated by day or month)

Send these details over to success@affilimate.com and we'll be in touch with you about your options.

For networks and platforms

We are always interested in integrating with platforms that our publishers are working with. There are a few different levels of integration:

Commissions
Link Generation, Merchants, Rates
Payouts / Finance

1) Commissions

There are a three main integration possibilities, listed below in order of preference:

API integration - You issue API tokens to affiliate publishers, which allow them to retrieve their affiliate commissions programmatically.
Google Cloud Storage File Sync - You sync commissions and rate data in CSV format to a storage bucket in Affilimate's infrastructure (preferred) or within your own (if necessary).
Postback integration - You allow publishers to provide a postback URL, to which you send conversion events as they happen.

The minimum data required for an integration:

Timestamp for the conversion date
Unique ID per row (such as transaction ID, order ID, booking ID, or similar)
Commission amount and currency
Advertiser name and ID, if you have multiple advertisers
Status of the transaction (e.g. pending, canceled, refunded, etc.)
SubID field — If you have this, it is required to send to us.

If any of these are tracked by your system, also provide:

Product name and SKU ID
Gross sale amount (GMV)
Click Date timestamp
Locking Date timestamp
Order ID or Click ID
Any additional product metadata your system tracks (such as color, brand, destination, etc.)
Payout information

2) Link Generation, Merchants, Rates

We also prefer to integrate networks and provide support for Link Generation, Merchant reporting, and Rates.

3) Payouts / Finance

Lastly, we also support payout reporting and reconciliation for use by your publishers' finance teams.
