Data Export: Revenue Report

New Feature, we have added a section called Data Export. It is a feature that has been requested by a number of Affiliates who are looking for more automation within their setup, such as Cash back/Reward sites, PPC and so on. This is very much a feature for the more advanced Affiliates than for beginners, we have done our best to make it fully customisable while keeping it easy to use.

Step 1.

Log in to your affiliate account.

A. Click on Data Export.

Step 2.

We will be adding additional reports over time, to save having to redo the site structure every time we want to add a new report, we have made this one page to host all reports, however at present it is just account transactional details that can be downloaded in this way.

A. Your own unique security code will be generated the first time you use the system. It will remain valid for you to see, when logged into the system. The security code is only used when trying to access information for your account and is different from your main login ID.

B. Click this link to construct your own revenue report.
