MyAffiliates and Voluum

This document provides instructions on how to set up tracking of MyAffiliates offers. MyAffiliates is an affiliate management platform. You can use it to:

  • Get offers from casino brands managed by MyAffiliates and track conversions of those offers with Voluum
  • Use Voluum to track your affiliates if your offer is managed by MyAffiliates.

Before you start

There are several considerations before you begin:

  • MyAffiliates doesn’t allow for dynamic payouts. You can only put a static value into the postback, followed by our payout parameter. For example, you can add a tracking parameter payout=100, so the payout value in Voluum increases by 100
  • You must remember to implement HTTP and not HTTPS postback, as HTTPS postbacks are not supported by MyAffiliates.
  • Postback fired by MyAffiliates can be delayed, as they launch postbacks only after they process data.
  • There are 3 parameter names that MyAffiliates use to store the click ID value: {payload}, {s2s.req_id}, and {s2s.pub_id}. Remember to use one consistently throughout your setup, as they are not interchangeable.

I. (Optional) Add MyAffiliates as an affiliate network to Voluum

This step is optional, but it will make setting up multiple offers easier and will allow you to sort your Voluum offers easily.

  1. In Voluum, go to the Affiliate networks tab and click the Create button.
  2. Select Custom affiliate network and click the Next button.
  3. Add name and provide the MyAffiliates click ID parameter name. In this example, we selected payload.
  4. Click the Save button.

II. Get an offer from MyAffiliates

  1. In MyAffiliates, go to Marketing / Banners / Get Media Code
  2. Provide voluum {clickid} token in the Payload text field
  3. Copy the landing page URL.

III. Add a MyAffiliates offer to Voluum

  1. In Voluum, go to the Offers tab and click the New offer button.
  2. ( Optional) Select the MyAffiliates affiliate network from the drop-down menu if you've created one.
  3. Provide a name for the offer.
  4. Paste the offer link that you have copied from MyAffiliates. It should look like this: https://record.example.com/_System_generated_token/1/?payload={clickid}
  5. Copy the postback URL. If you've set up MyAffiliates affiliate network, the postback URL is already configured. If not, then you need to put the {payload} tracking token next to Voluum cid parameter name. Your postback should look like this:
    http://voluumdomain.com/postback?cid={payload}
  6. Click the Save button.

IV. Submit a postback URL to MyAffiliates

  1. In MyAffilaites, go to Postbacks.
  2. Submit the postback URL that you have copied from Voluum.
