Installing trackers is vital for your program to work.

Receiving and placing trackers codes

What is a tracker?
A tracker is a 1 pixel transparent GIF image placed on merchant's website and used to track sales made by visitors from ShopClub on merchant's website. eProfit's trackers communicate back to our tracking server reporting the information about visitors' actions.

You can receive tracker code for your website by clicking on the "Get tracker code" link in the right menu of the selected program.

Please install the following trackers on your website pages:
Hit - We recommend you to install this tracker on all pages of your website if you would like to track the number of customers who came to your shop from ShopClub and made purchases. This will also allow you to see extended statistics in your account at eProfit.
You don't have to change anything in the tracker code for this action.
Sale - In order to track sales, this tracker must be installed on the sale confirmation page.
The [summ] parameter must be replaced with sale amount, [your_id] must be replaced with sale ID or invoice ID. This ID has to be unique for every sale on your website.

Code example: <SCRIPT SRC="http://t.eprofit.com/tracker.js.php?id_event=5&id_program=60&summ=[summ]&foreign_key=[your_id]"></SCRIPT>
In this example the code fragments that you will have to change are marked bold.

Trackers are unique for every program. It is better to place trackers in the top part of the page. Each tracker shows 1x1 pixel transparent image and is not visible to your website users.

To receive trackers' codes please navigate to My Account -> My Programs, open the program you created for ShopClub and click on the "Get tracker code" link in the right menu of the program.

The setup is now finished.
Please contact our administrators to discuss the cooperation details.

As soon as your program is approved by our administrators you will be able to start tracking and viewing statistics of sales made by ShopClub customers on your website.
