Tracking
Boots add their own tracking (DoubleClick) to all affiliate links so they can track their affiliate traffic together with all their other online traffic. It’s therefore imperative that all your affiliate links carry this tracking alongside your standard ‘awin1’ tracking as Boots use this to decide on whether a sale is registered or not. Please could you ensure that all your Boots.com links have been updated in the Affiliate Window interface so they contain the DoubleClick tagging to avoid sales being declined. Rest assured as long as you take the standard links from the interface, feed or deep link builder they will contain the DoubleClick tracking.

It might be a good idea to check your current links as Boots will not be allocating commission for sales generated without the DoubleClick tracking after 22nd February.

If you’re in any doubt or would like us to check your links please get in contact so we can verify your links.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation

Regards
Boots.com Affiliate Team
