Affiliate Product Performance
From Wiki
Affiliate Window can offer product level reporting directly to affiliates via the affiliate interface. Any merchant with product level tracking integrated on their website can now choose to share this data with their entire affiliate base.
This report will allow the affiliate to have an overview of the products purchased in the transactions driven by them. The product performance report is not updated in real-time, it is updated twice a day and once overnight therefore new sales are not immediately shown.
Please note:
- In order to populate the report with data the affiliate must select a merchant from the ‘Show Merchant’ dropdown box when they first enter the page.
- The ‘Show Merchant’ dropdown box is populated with merchants that the affiliate is joined and approved to only.
- The values of "Sales" represent the "Quantity" of products sold for that day in the relevant orders.
Please do not count this as an absolute, as there maybe some instances where the Javascript tracking (on the merchants confirmation page) does not show due to browser restrictions. For the Javascript tracking, we do have a failsafe, so transactions won't be affected by this issue.
