About CJ Affiliate

What CJ Affiliate is, and why identity matters to it.

CJ Affiliate is one of the longest-running affiliate networks, with an emphasis on large publisher and retail partnerships.

Commission is usually a percentage of order value, so the value sent has to be the value taken.

How it works

How CJ Affiliate works.

CJ tracks conversions through tracking links and a postback carrying the order value, and calculates commission from it. Partial values, or values sent before an upsell is accepted, produce commission that does not match the invoice.

With Upstack Data

Get more out of CJ Affiliate with Upstack Data.

Upstack sends the conversion from the server with the complete, final order value attached, after the order has settled. Commission is then calculated on what the customer actually paid rather than on a figure captured mid-checkout.

What you can do with it

Three jobs this connector does inside CJ Affiliate.

Send complete conversions
Conversions reach CJ Affiliate through its server-side API with restored click IDs and hashed identifiers attached, so more of what you send is matched on arrival — and the conversions you never saw stop being invisible.
Optimise on the customer you want
Map any order attribute to the conversion CJ Affiliate receives — profit rather than revenue, new customers rather than repeat buyers, high-value orders rather than every checkout — so the platform learns from the buyers worth acquiring.
Commission on the settled order
The postback carries the final order value after upsells and adjustments, so commission matches the invoice rather than a mid-checkout snapshot.
