Affiliate Platform Integration with DPD (getdpd.com)

[noor_u]

Hi

I’d like to be able to track sales made through getdpd.com.

getdpd.com is a similar platform to ejunkie. It allows you to use a 3rd Party Conversion Tracking Code, but I don’t know what code to insert with the WP Affiliate Platform.

Here’s a snapshot of getdpd’s 3rd Party Conversion Tracking Code page:

Thanks

Can you please tell us what variables are available in the “Store” and “customer” module? The screenshot you shared shows that you can click on the “Store” and “Customer” link to see what variables are available specific to store and customer.

Hi, thanks for replying.

Thank you for your help. This is very important for me, because for whatever reason, I tend to get far more sales if I sell through DPD using Paypal as a payment processor, than I do if I sell directly through Paypal.

Here are those links.

Order Variables: http://getdpd.com/docs/templates/objects/order.html

Store Variables: http://getdpd.com/docs/templates/objects/store.html

Customer Variables: http://getdpd.com/docs/templates/objects/customer.html

Also, I contacted getdpd.com, and here’s their reply:

“Hello

We’re not familiar with the plugin. DPD integrates with 3rd party systems using several methods:

1. Universal conversion tracking integration: [http://support.getdpd.com/entries/21694958-Universal-3rd-Party-HTML-Javascript-Conversion-Tracking-Code-Integration]

2. API [http://support.getdpd.com/entries/22551237-DPD-Cart-API-Information]

3. IPN [http://support.getdpd.com/entries/190526-IPN-Notification-URL]

We generally tell vendors to disable Payment Data Transfer so there are no conflicts with our system.

Thanks,

Jason Chance

DPD Support”

If I can help in any other way, please do let me know.

Best wishes,

Noor

Oh, and by the way, I know nothing about code, so it’d be great if you could help me find a solution that isn’t too technical.

Thanks

Thank you for the details. Lets try the following:

Integration Steps

1. Go to the settings menu of the affiliate plugin and check the “Enable Remote Post” checkbox. Take note of the “Secret Word” from this section.

2. Check the “Enable Debug” checkbox from the testing and debugging settings (this will log debug details which will help us troubleshoot if the commission doesn’t get tracked as expected.)

3. Save the changes by hitting the update settings button.

4. Add the following HTML tracking code to your 3rd party conversion tracking code interface. This goes inside the “THML/JavaScript” field.

<img src=”http://www.your-domain.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-affiliate-platform/api/post_by_ip.php?secret=XXXX&sale_amt={{order.subtotal_price}}&txn_id={{order.id}}&buyer_email={{customer.email}}” width=”1″ height=”1″ />

Note:

– Replace “your-domain” with your actual site URL

– Replace “XXXX” with the actual secret code from the settings menu of this plugin (refer to step 1)

Hi there admin, thanks so much for the code. Sorry for getting back to you so late, I’ve been away.

The code worked brilliantly. Only problem is the customer email doesn’t come through. Could it be that I need to change:

&buyer_email={{email}}

to

&buyer_email={{customer.email}}

Here’s what I think is the relevant part of the log file:

[05/28/2013 12:41 PM] – SUCCESS :Start Processing commission by ip address …

[05/28/2013 12:41 PM] – SUCCESS :POST data: 518e1d638ef46|85.165.45.169|37|2199609||

[05/28/2013 12:41 PM] – SUCCESS :Validating Request Data

[05/28/2013 12:41 PM] – SUCCESS :Found a referrer ID for given client IP address: 85.165.45.169

[05/28/2013 12:41 PM] – SUCCESS :Referrer: youtubelink, Sale Amount: 37, Transaction ID: 2199609, Item ID: , Buyer Email: , Custom Commission Rate:

[05/28/2013 12:41 PM] – SUCCESS :The sale has been registered in the WP Affiliate Platform Database for referrer: youtubelink with amount: 0

[05/28/2013 12:41 PM] – SUCCESS :Commission awarded to: youtubelink Client IP address: 85.165.45.169

Thanks,

Noor

Try the change you suggested or the following:

&buyer_email={{store.contact_email}}

[noor_u]

Thank you SO much admin.

My suggestion is working just fine:

&buyer_email={{customer.email}}

I really think the wp affiliate platform will change the game for me. I’ve tried various other tracking softwares and programs, and this is the only thing I’ve found so far that enables me to accurately track sales to the link.

Thanks so much for creating this awesome piece of software.

Glad to hear that

I have updated my above integration steps to include your fix.
