If your website is WordPress-based, you can easily integrate it with Admitad using an Admitad plugin.
A plugin is a software module that you need to install and set up on your website. As a result, your website will be integrated with the Admitad system.
General information: specifics and tips
- You can only initiate integration if your program has:
- A tracking link generated in General Settings.
- A target action added and a related rate set up in Actions.
If you don't have a manager, you'll need to generate a tracking link on your own (see this guide) and add at least one action and at least one rate (see this guide).
If you have a personal manager, they will do this for you.
- Integration is a mandatory step to continuing your work and starting an affiliate program with Admitad.
- To set up integration, you need to have access to your website's WordPress admin panel. If you don't have access to it, send this integration guide to a colleague who does.
Once integration is complete, all target action details (date, order ID, order amount, etc.) will be sent to Admitad automatically.

Integration testing tips:
-
If you have several actions and/or rates, place several test orders to try out all actions and rates.
-
Include several items in one of your test orders to make sure the items and the total amount are transmitted correctly.
-
If you have a quick order or one-click order form, place an order through it to check form integration.
The test order will appear in Admitad reports within one hour.
If the order doesn't show up in reports after an hour or more, make sure the plugin was set up correctly (see this guide). If the problem persists, let the Admitad specialist know about it.

- Target action meets the requirements specified in the program terms.
- Action ID in the Order ID column matches the action ID in your system.
