Affiliate Sales in Google Analytics and other tools

Description

We Can Track is an affiliate data tracking, processing and integration software that attributes affiliate sales data to publishers’ traffic data.
With We Can Track, affiliate publishers can finally integrate their sales data in the marketing tools they use.

Registration is free and you will be able to make use of a 30 days trial period once you connected network accounts.

By installing and enabling the We Can Track plugin, your affiliate links will automatically contain unique SubIDs that will be used to trace a sale back to the click it originated from.

Furthermore, the We Can Track plugin is compliant with most redirection (cloaking) plugins, making automatic SubID placements possible.

FAQ

What happens if for some reason the We Can Track service goes down, will my links break?

We have developed a fallback to the original link for these situations.

Redirect/cloaking plugin seems to be not compliant with We Can Track?

This is a rare occurrence, but it could happen if the redirect is being done on the client-side or if the redirect plugin is not using the WordPress redirect function.
Not to worry, we’d be happy to help you. Just contact us at support@wecantrack.com with information about your redirection plugin and other relevant information and we’ll check for possible solutions.

Are multi-sites supported?

No, please contact support@wecantrack.com if you want us to support this.

Man I was doing all these manual uploads in order to pass the sale data through… then I found WCT. It changed the game for me. Thanks for making such a great product! It’s perfect for affiliate marketers. Well done.

Wir haben vielen besseren gefundet.. English: Fallback solution is not working? Missing convesrions and lack of updates in terms of features. And plugin slows website down!

Helped me alot with seeing what pages were doing well. And were improvements were needed. Great to see al data together so well organised. For me the most important thing was that I can now see on each seperate page what is happening with the sales.

Easy installation of tracking for affiliates. All the affiliate data gathered in one place, before using this software we would not even know where the conversions came from. Now we get detailed data about EPC, CR and other data that we can use to increase our turnover. Also very easy to connect to the affiliate platforms which is great. Highly recommended!

WeCanTrack takes the guessing out of affiliate marketing and provides a one-stop-shop for all your dashboarding needs. No more checking 5+ networks daily to see your commission, but enjoy the data and insights the way you like.

WeCanTrack fixes the missing link I had for years in my affiliate data. Finally, I can calculate how much a page is worth, how much traffic from a certain channel is worth, which pages are most valuable… and have all that data automatically in Google Analytics and/or Google Data Studio. This feels like I’m actually able to make decisions based on data instead of gut feeling and makes it much easier to treat my affiliate websites as real businesses. Installation and integration was all easy to do. For me WeCanTrack is a game changer.
