Conversion Tracking with ClickBank

We are glad to share good news with all our users: ClickBank integration with BeMob is back now.

Recently we have experienced an issue with the ClickBank integration due to invalid click ID values being passed back to the tracker. Now the issue is completely solved and you can continue your work with this affiliate network using BeMob tracking system.

What has changed?

Basically the only part changed is the click ID token that should be added at the end of offer URL.

The token is not visible in the list of available tokens — you should specify it manually at the end of each offer from ClickBank.

The ClickBank click ID token is {clickIdLong}.

Still the conversion tracking process with BeMob and ClickBank remains quick and easy: no third-party scripts and challenging configurations.

But if you experience any issue, do contact BeMob support team — all the available methods of communications are specified at the end of this post.

Step 1: ClickBank Secret Key

The settings start with accessing the Instant Notification System (INS) on the side of BeMob:

  • Log in to your BeMob account
  • Press Settings -> Integrations

You might notice that the postback URL does not contain any tokens. The reason is that the tracking between BeMob and ClickBank is based on the Instant Notification System which has been configured on the steps 1-3.

So at this point it is required to click Save button to store ClickBank template for your offer settings in tracker.
