If the affiliate offers you’re promoting don’t support Tracking Pixels or Postback URLs, you’ll generally have to use “Sub-IDs” for conversion tracking.

Some affiliate platforms where you’re forced to use Sub-ID tracking include Amazon and LinkShare.

You must pass a unique Sub-ID to your affiliate link with each click to track your sales using Sub-IDs. With ClickMagick, it’s as simple as adding a unique [clickid] token wherever you want the Sub-ID to be inserted into your affiliate link.

You can find a complete walkthrough of how to set this up for different affiliate networks here:

How do I track sales with my affiliate network?


If you’re using one of the other networks where you need to use Sub-IDs to track conversions, follow the steps in the article above.

The only difference is how you pass the [clickid] token to your network. LinkShare and ShareASale use these [clickid] query string parameters, which you would append to the end of your affiliate links:
 

	LinkShare	&U1=[clickid]
	ShareASale	&afftrack=[clickid]
