What CJ Affiliate is
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.

About CJ Affiliate
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.
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.
What you can do with it
Three jobs this connector does inside CJ Affiliate.
01
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.
02
Optimize 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.
03
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.

FAQ
CJ Affiliate integration questions.
What does Upstack send to CJ Affiliate?
Send conversions to CJ Affiliate from the server with the full order value, so commission is calculated on what was actually bought.
Which plans include the CJ Affiliate integration?
All plans. Upstack has three plans that scale with your order volume, and the same integrations are on every plan.
Will Upstack slow down my store?
Upstack’s own pixel loads asynchronously and fails silently, so it doesn’t hold up your pages. What each destination adds depends on its Tracking Method. The default, Browser + Server, loads that platform’s own tag on your store, in place of the copy you would otherwise install yourself, and also sends the same events from Upstack’s servers. Choose Server for any destination that offers it and its tag never loads, while its events still arrive from Upstack’s servers.
