New Integration: Rakuten Arrives in Affilimate

By Monica Lent · Updated Jul 10, 2020

Hi friends, today we're excited to share our latest integration with you: Rakuten Advertising.

Rakuten is one of the few truly global affiliate networks. They have programs based in countries like the United States, Canada, Germany, France, Japan, Brazil, and Australia.

From an analytics perspective, we love that Rakuten provide SKU-level reporting, subid tracking, the ability to cleanly track multiple websites, and nearly 2,000 advertisers to choose from.

Features of the Rakuten integration

  • SKU-level reporting You'll see exactly which products you sold in your transaction reports. With Smart Labels turned on, you'll also see this connected to page, link, and instance-level conversions.
  • Advertiser-level data Use the Advertiser option to see aggregate your reports by highest earning advertisers within the Rakuten network.
  • Dynamic subid tracking Our Smart Labels can automatically append tracking IDs to your Rakuten Links with this option switched on.
  • See non-commissionable sales For example, see conversions that happened outside the conversion window so you still know what people bought.
