Track partners

Last updated on: December 19, 2024

 

Ontraport partner programs use cookies to track your referred customers and identify the partner who referred them. When the customer opts in or purchases a product, the Ontraport tracking script and form processor read the cookie and add the partner information to the customer’s contact record. This system makes the referral information extremely reliable.

You don’t need to add any extra tracking when selling products on Ontraport pages. However, if you sell products using a third-party shopping cart, you must add the partner tracking pixel to track your referrals.

The Partner Sub ID is a valuable tool for partners who want to gain deeper insights into their marketing efforts. It allows them to track the performance of their various marketing strategies, helping them optimize their approach.

Partner Tracking Pixel

If you sell your products using a third-party shopping cart, you must place the partner tracking pixel on the shopping cart's checkout confirmation page for Ontraport to correctly track sales.

This is an advanced feature and if you are unfamiliar with editing and placing tracking scripts, we recommend hiring an Ontraport Expert.

  1. Go to  Profile icon → AdministrationDeveloper preferences and resourcesGet partner tracking pixel.
  2. Copy the tracking code.
  3. Go to your shopping cart’s confirmation page and replace the example tags with information about the transaction using the format used by the third party to merge in data.
  4. You can add multiple items to a single invoice by adding additional item fields such as “&item_id_2=x&item_price_2=1000”.
  5. You can add additional fields to the end of your tracking pixel to populate more data.
    • &tax=<Amount of tax charged on this transaction>
    • &tax_city=<Amount of city tax charged on this transaction>
    • &tax_state=<Amount of state tax charged on this transaction>
      • &tax_county=<Amount of county tax charged on this transaction>
    • &shipping_amt=<Amount of shipping charged on this transaction>
    • &<Any Contact Field>=<Any contact value, e.g. &City=New York&First Name=Jonathan>

Partner Sub ID tracking

Back to top


This feature is for partners who want to fine-tune their promotional efforts and track what's working and what's not.

The Sub ID allows your partners to track traffic from different sources and compare stats. For your partners to view tracking on different Sub IDs, they’ll need access to a WordPress partner center and click on the Reports tab.

For example, if you wanted to track the performance of two different links, you could add a unique Sub ID to the end of your URLs like this:

  1. https://Slurpees-to-Burpees.ontralink.com/t?orid=1053&opid=28&sid=dec-2024-newsletter
  2. https://Slurpees-to-Burpees.ontralink.com/t?orid=1053&opid=28&sid=jan-2024-newsletter


Your partners can add Sub IDs to their affiliate links and customize the links to emails, ads, pages and other promotional items. Leads can click on the links and view the tracking in their WordPress partner center.
