help with adding USER ID to your affiliate link to track members.

Hello,

i know when you run a cashback/reward site you need to equip retailers links with user IDs. But I dont understand how to do it for all the members of your site. So if I have 1000 members I must add a 1000 sub ID's to a link or what? Or this user ID stands for my ID?

btw, my script says:

Please DO NOT forget to add '{USERID}' to your affiliate link to track members.

Links examples for few popular affiliate networks:

thank you =)

 

You need pass your user id to the server, but many gpt programs can add the user id to the link automatically, you should try fsrevolution.

 

i dont understand sorry, so which sub id and how many should I insert in a link to a merchants site, so I will know which memberof my site bought something where and for how much?

 

I think you just need to add exactly "{USERID}" because each user is assigned a unique ID in your system. Therefore, when you add these to your link, the script will get the userid from your database automatically.
