Overview

Integrated Sales Reporting (ISR) is a feature that allows you to track successful ClickBank orders. By integrating with helpful tools like Google AdWords, Google Analytics, Yahoo! Search Marketing, Bing Ads and generic Tracking/Retargeting Pixels, you can follow the process of how visits flow into the ClickBank Order Form. These tools also help analyze the sales process clearly illustrating where customers drop out, what traffic sources are leading to sales, and more.

Accessing Integrated Sales Reporting

To use ISR, you will first need your own account with Google AdWords, Google Analytics, Yahoo! Search Marketing, or Bing Ads that you can integrate into your account, or use a pixel tracking solution.

To access Integrated Sales Reporting, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your ClickBank account.
2. Click the Settings tab.
3. Click My Site.
4. Click Add Tracking Code on the bottom left side of the Integrated Sales Reporting box. The Integrated Sales Reporting page is displayed.
   For example:
   
5. Follow the instructions related to each of the analytics/advertising programs to complete the setup.
6. Use the Delete, Edit, and Enable/Disable icons to manage your existing tracking codes.

Using Generic Tracking/Retargeting Pixels

ClickBank permits you to add a tracking pixel to the either the order form, the order confirmation page or both. You are permitted to set different tracking pixels for those two pages and different tracking pixels for your role as vendor or affiliate. With each of these four different pixel URLs, you can gather the data needed for your tracking or retargeting solution to manage your sales funnel and conversions.

HTTPS Requirement

The only requirement on the URL is that it must be HTTPS compliant. We require this because when the order form loads, all content and images must be served by an HTTPS connection to avoid displaying a warning to the consumer about mixed content on the page. Such a warning message could deter a consumer from trusting the order flow and then dropping out of the conversion. Therefore, the system will not permit you to add a URL that is not an HTTPS connection.

Passing Parameters

You have the option of turning on several parameters for the tracking pixel from the order form or order confirmation page depending on your role as vendor or affiliate. Each of these parameters will be populated if desired. Simply tick the check box for any parameter you wish and it will be added to the end of the URL you set for the tracking pixel.

The parameters will be coded as follows. Note that the order that the parameters are presented on the URL may vary. Also, parameters without applicable data will be presented without data within the tracking pixel.

Using the Facebook Pixel

Overview

The Facebook Pixel is used to provide a vendor or affiliate with insight into Facebook-driven activity. When a customer clicks on a Facebook ad that directs them to a ClickBank order form or confirmation page, an enabled Facebook Pixel tracks the entire journey, including information about the sale amount. It provides information that can help you measure and understand target audiences, as well as grow conversions.

You can use the same Facebook Pixel to gather data on your vendor and affiliate activity, but if you use the same Facebook account and pixel for both, the data is not differentiated. Each Facebook account has only one Pixel ID, but you can use multiple Facebook accounts with one or more ClickBank accounts. However, within your account, you can only have one active Facebook Pixel for each combination of role (Vendor or Affiliate) and page (Order Form or Order Confirmation Page).

NOTE – If you want to gather information on your pitch page or on a confirmation page that you control, you must configure them outside of ClickBank’s system.

NOTE – The Facebook Pixel supersedes all previous tracking mechanisms Facebook offered. If you are you using the older Facebook Conversion Pixel, you must create an updated Facebook Pixel before adding it to your ClickBank account as soon as possible to continue receiving data.

Included Data

If you are tracking an Order Form, the Facebook Pixel sends page view data.

If you are tracking an Order Confirmation Page, the Facebook Pixel sends page view data, as well as the amount earned for your account in US Dollars. For example, if you are a vendor, you see the portion of the price that you receive; if you are an affiliate, you see your commission for the purchase. If the Order Confirmation Page is for a PitchPlus Upsell Flow, the amount includes the total value of your commission for all of the items in the PitchPlus Upsell Flow.

NOTE – Test purchases do not trigger Purchase events on the Order Confirmation Page. Only real transactions trigger Purchase events.

Events

The Facebook Pixel tracks page views using a set of events. The following events are used to track page visits:

ClickBank Page	Facebook Event
Order Form	Initiate Checkout
Order Confirmation Page	Purchase

Implementing Your Facebook Pixel

5. Click Add Tracking Code on the bottom left side of the Integrated Sales Reporting box. The Integrated Sales Reporting page is displayed.
6. In the Type field, select either Facebook Pixel: Order Confirmation (Receipt) or Facebook Pixel: Order Form.
   You can only configure your pixel for one page at a time, but you can repeat this procedure to use your Facebook Pixel on both pages.
7. Enter the Facebook Pixel details:
   • Track Sale As – Indicate whether your sales should be tracked as a vendor or as an affiliate.
   • Pixel ID – This is the pixel ID value for your Facebook account.
8. Click Save.
   The new Facebook Pixel and related details are displayed in the Integrated Sales Report grid on the My Site Page. Newly created Facebook Pixels are inactive.
9. Click the Activate icon to activate the Facebook Pixel.

Testing Your Facebook Pixel

If your Facebook pixel is configured correctly, you’ll be able to see the stats on the Facebook Pixel section of your Ad Manager Page. These stats are not updated in real-time, so the display may lag behind current activity.

For more information about verifying that your Facebook Pixel is working correctly or troubleshooting issues, see Facebook’s article, How do I confirm that my Facebook pixel is working?.
