Anybody else using affiliate software with CBSubs?

3 years 3 months ago #325845 by Strategisto2da
Hi,

We've been using iDevAffiliate off and on for several years. We recently went back to it for a new campaign we're running. Unfortunately, for some reason, after 2 weeks and many hours we are unable to get the integration to work. We're still working on it, but I was wondering if any other CBSubs users are using CBSubs or a competitor? We looked a Post Affiliate Pro but they said they do not have an off-the-shelf integration for CBSubs. Would much appreciate any experience you may have had and can share with us regarding iDevAffiliate and alternates.

Thanks in advance...

We provide integrations included with CBSubs for the following affiliate tracking software.

Google Analytics
Piwik
iDevAffiliate
PostAffiliatePro

You can also use CB Auto Actions to act on Joomla triggers to implement whatever affiliate tracking you like and if you'd like to explore that please let me know so I can provide an example auto action to get you started.

What affiliate software are you wanting to integrate with using CB Auto Actions? It'll depend a bit on that software as to what auto action you use. For example could be as simple as a Request action that sends an HTTP Request from your site to that software.

We already provide an iDevAffiliate. We're using the following API in it. Unless iDevAffiliate has changed this API it should still be working fine.

www.idevlibrary.com/docs/Vendor_Integration_Information.pdf

This was addressed in your below topic.

www.joomlapolis.com/forum/277-cb-paid-subscriptions-support/244136-cbsubs-idev-affiliate-integration-issue?start=6#325813

Your affiliate tracking is likely not working because you're using a free trial. The free trial will not be sent to iDevAffiliate as at the time of implementation sending $0 amounts wasn't supported. If that has changed we can update the integration to send the $0 amount.

We do not store the affiliate id with the basket like we do with PostAffiliatePro, but we can if iDevAffiliate provides whatever the cookie name is that they're using. This would allow the renewal to also be sent to iDevAffiliate. If they're not setting the cookie and all we'll have to go on is the idev_id in the URL then you'll have to implement setting that to a cookie in whatever landing page you're using and will have to review adding support for specifying a custom cookie name.
