Additional URL parameters for partner and affiliate signup
Similar to the checkout process, you can submit additional parameter data to the partner and affiliate sign-up processes. The parameter names must start with xp- for partner sign-up and xa- for affiliate sign-up processes.
&xp-<name>=<value>
&xa-<name>=<value>
The submitted data becomes available in Commerce Assistant and within the automated sign-up notification.
Use cases
You can use additional URL parameters for partner and affiliate sign-up in various ways:
- To track affiliate registrations, such as the referring site.
- To find out how many resellers registered in total via a certain URL.
- To find out whether a partner registered via the registration campaign you sent out.
By using field names starting with xp- or xa-, you can also create a questionnaire form on your website prior to the sign-up process. A partner or affiliate fills out the form and is then taken to the sign-up page. The resulting data from the form is collected by Cleverbridge and stored along with the partner or affiliate account. For more information, see Create a Questionnaire for Partners.
Viewing parameter data
The data submitted via xp- and xa- parameters is stored in the Cleverbridge platform along with the partner or affiliate account. You can view the data in multiple places:
- For partners, the parameter data is displayed separately for each partner in the Parameters section of the Partner viewer.
- Parameter data is included in the notification you receive following a new partner or affiliate sign-up.
