Kelkoo integration
Integrating Voluum and Kelkoo accounts enables both platforms to pass conversion information via API, without using standard postback or pixel methods. This ensures reliability and integrity of data, as well as allowing for easier setup.
How does it work?
The integration replaces the standard conversion reporting methods, such as postback URL or conversion tracking pixel. In this setup, Voluum periodically calls Kelkoo's API and fetches any new conversions. Each conversion is imported with a time when it actually happened, not with a time of upload.
In short, the procedure goes as follows:
- You set up a Kelkoo offer in Voluum using the Kelkoo affiliate network template as usual. You need to make sure that the following tracking tokens are added to your offer URL:
publisherClickId={clickid} - You set up an API integration in Voluum's Settings panel using a Kelkoo's API key.
- Visitors' clicks are tracked and conversion information is sent back periodically without the need of configuring postbacks or pixels.
