Default Parameters for Affiliate Tracking Links

Set default values for affiliate sub-parameters and add them to tracking links

Written by Sasha Gerold

If your tracking relies on affiliate sub-parameters (Aff S1–S5), you can define default values that are automatically included in all affiliate links. These values can also serve as placeholders or guidance for affiliates on what data should be passed.

How affiliate link parameters work

By default, additional parameters (Aff S1–S5) are hidden in the affiliate interface to keep the view clean and focused on the main action, taking the tracking link.

Affiliates can access them by clicking Advanced options in the Get link section, where they can enter or modify parameter values.

How to set default parameters

To configure default parameters:

  1. Navigate to Settings → Tracking → Affiliate Tracking Links

  2. Enable the Default parameters toggle

  3. For each parameter (Aff S1 – S5):

    • Enable or disable it individually

    • Set a default value

Once configured, enabled parameters will be automatically included for affiliates taking tracking links.

How it works

  • Default values are automatically added to affiliate tracking links

  • These values act as pre-filled examples or placeholders

  • Affiliates can adjust them using Advanced options if needed

  • Disabled parameters are not included in tracking links by default

💡 Why use default parameters?

Default parameters help you standardize tracking and guide affiliates on how to use sub-parameters correctly.

You can use clear placeholder values to indicate what should be filled in, for example:

  • REPLACE_WITH_CLICK_ID

  • ENTER_SUB_SOURCE

  • ADD_TRAFFIC_CHANNEL

For example:

  • Aff S1 → Click ID from an external tracker

  • Aff S2 → Sub-source or placement ID

  • Aff S3 → Traffic channel (e.g. Facebook, Google, Email)

This makes it easier for affiliates to understand what each parameter is used for, while still allowing them to customize the values based on their setup.

✅ Summary

  • Parameters are hidden by default and accessible via Advanced options

  • Default values act as guidance and placeholders

  • Affiliates can modify values when generating links
