Want to have granular control over what parameters you want to show to your affiliates? With our data visibility settings, you will always stay in control of what affiliates see.
Data visibility options
All data visibility options can be found under Settings → Affiliates → Data visibility.
The page has two blocks: Financial data, where you can show revenue, sales amounts and the affiliate payout display, and Tracking data, where you can show conversion statuses and click and conversion parameters (advertiser parameters and tracking identifiers).
For revenue and sales amount parameters, you have three options: turn visibility off for all affiliates, enable it for all affiliates (with the option to include specific affiliates), or enable it only for specific affiliates.
When hidden, revenue and sales amount metrics are removed from the affiliate's dashboard, all reports, and postbacks. Even if an affiliate includes the revenue variable in their postback, the system won't deliver this data unless visibility is enabled.
You can also choose the affiliate payout display for the affiliates to see percentage payouts based on either revenue or sales amount. While the system calculates all payouts from revenue, the affiliate view will display percentage payouts according to the selected metric. In the admin view, all payout rates are shown based on revenue.
Additionally, you can display specific conversion statuses for affiliates.
Lastly, you can choose to show click and conversion parameters to affiliates.
Click and conversion parameters visibility impacts the affiliate conversion report, the click report and affiliate postbacks. If a parameter is hidden from an affiliate, it is delivered as an empty value in their postbacks, even when they include the variable in the postback URL. Note that the click report shows only the External CID parameter.
