Add an Offer to Voluum
In Voluum, go to Offers.
Click the Create button and select the Offer option from a drop-down menu.
(Optional) If you have the Workspaces feature enabled on your account, select the Workspace from the drop-down menu that this offer will be assigned to.
(Optional) If you want to associate this offer with a specific affiliate network, select it from the Affiliate network drop-down menu.
(Optional) If the offer is geo-specific, select the Country tag from the drop-down menu. This option is only used for organizational purposes and does not determine the traffic source geo-location in any way. If your offer is intended for multiple GEOs, use the Global option by leaving the Country tag field blank.
Provide a unique name for your offer. The name of the offer in Voluum is based on the following pattern: {selected_affiliate_network} - {country_label or Global} - {your_unique_custom_name}.
(Optional) To enhance search functionality, you can always add tags to the offer. Keep in mind that tags can only contain letters, numbers, and underscores.
Provide the URL of your offer in the Offer URL field and add the corresponding tokens to a parameter within the offer URL.
To be able to track conversions for your offer using a redirect method with a postback URL, you need to add the
{clickid}
token to the offer's URL with a corresponding parameter from affiliate network platform.Example 1. Postback URLIf you have the following offer's URL:
https://my_offer.com
that you have received from the network and the affiliate network uses the s2 parameter to track conversions within the postback URL, the offer's URL should look as follows:https://my_offer.com?s2={clickid}
Read the Track Conversions Using S2S Postback URL article to learn more how about to set up tracking conversions.
Read the Parameters in Postback URLs article to learn about additional parameters that you can pass to your offer.
To track conversion with a direct method using conversion tracking pixel, you do not need to pass a click ID to an affiliate network platform. The click id is logged on a visitor's computer in a cookie and will be fetched when conversion tracking pixel will run.
Read the Track Conversions Using a Conversion Tracking Pixel to learn more.
If you have selected an affiliate network with tracking tokens already filled in in the Advanced parameters section, a complete tracking parameter will be displayed below. This tracking parameter should be added to an offer URL.
(Optional) You can select a conversion tracking method. You can select between the following methods:
S2S postback URL
Tracking Pixel
Tracking Pixel URL
Tracking Script
Once you select an appropriate option from the drop-down menu, you can copy the URL or script to the clipboard.
(Optional) You can enable this toggle to pass up to 5 custom additional parameters in the postback URL.
(Optional) Offer tracking script is required to be implemented on an offer page, if you want to track with a direct method and you want to direct people straight to the offer page, without a landing page in the middle. It is also used in rare cases when you want to track conversions with a script directly on an offer page, not like in the more usual scenario of tracking conversions with a script on a "Thank You" page.
You can track the payout either dynamically or manually:
Auto: You need to select this option if you have added a payout parameter to the postback or pixel URL. Tracking values are sent via a postback URL/pixel request.
Manual: You can also provide a fixed amount in the field in the offer’s configuration. Every time the conversion is recorded, the amount will be added to a total payout sum. If you want to use GEO-specific payout feature, you have use the Manual payout option.
