Conversion Tracking

[calmncomfy]

Overture have a function that tracks conversion rates from search terms. They have a html tag that I need to place in my confirmation page to get the result.
Does anyone know how to access the confirmation page and where I should add the html tag

Supporting an Affiliate Program with Actinic Ecommerce

It is possible to add markup to the Actinic's receipt page in order to support an affiliate program. The markup is generally specified by the affiliate program, but a typical example would be:
<IMG SRC="https://www.server.com/log.cgi?amount=[order-amount-here]&orderid=[order-id-here]">
Translating this into a Actinic ready line, you would get:
<IMG SRC="https://www.server.com/log.cgi?amount=NETQUOTEVAR:MYORDERTOTAL&orderid=NETQUOTEVAR:THEORDERNUMBER">
The NETQUOTEVARs available to an affiliate program of this nature are:
NETQUOTEVAR:THEORDERNUMBER - order number (already existed in earlier versions)
NETQUOTEVAR:FORMATTEDORDERTOTALHTML - the order total formatted in the appropriate currency and encoded for HTML display
NETQUOTEVAR:FORMATTEDORDERTOTALCGI - the order total formatted in the appropriate currency and encoded for CGI
NETQUOTEVAR:ACTINICORDERTOTAL - the order total formatted in the Actinic internal format (integer number in currency base unit)
NETQUOTEVAR:NUMERICORDERTOTALCGI - the order total partially formatted in the appropriate currency and encoded for CGI. This value include decimal and thousand separators, but leaves off the currency symbol.
To use these values insert the appropriate variables into Act_Order04.html and upload. Example markup follows:
Total: NETQUOTEVAR:FORMATTEDORDERTOTALHTML
<IMG SRC="https://www.server.com/log.cgi?amount=NETQUOTEVAR:ACTINICORDERTOTAL&orderid=NETQUOTEVAR:THEORDERNUMBER">
<IMG SRC="https://www.server.com/log.cgi?amount=NETQUOTEVAR:FORMATTEDORDERTOTALCGI&orderid=NETQUOTEVAR:THEORDERNUMBER">
<IMG SRC="https://www.server.com/log.cgi?amount=NETQUOTEVAR:NUMERICORDERTOTALCGI&orderid=NETQUOTEVAR:THEORDERNUMBER">
This markup will be expanded in the receipt page. For example:
Total: &#163;481&#46;96
<IMG SRC="https://www.server.com/log.cgi?amount=48196&orderid=GM03GNBW900028">
<IMG SRC="https://www.server.com/log.cgi?amount=%a3481%2e96&orderid=GM03GNBW900028">
<IMG SRC="https://www.server.com/log.cgi?amount=481&#46;96&orderid=GM03GNBW900028">

Hope this helps,

Kind regards,

[calmncomfy]

Thanks.

Exactly where in Act_Order04.html should the addtitional code go.

[Mike Hughes]

I normally put it at the end of the page where it doesn't slow anything up. i.e. just before the </body>

Cheers
Just had a look at the code & it's very different to the example in the AUG.
I've attached a file with the code, can anyone help further with anyhing I need to do to make it Actinic friendly?

[Mike Hughes]

That looks like a bit of code to create the string it uses for the tracking link. Is there no other code or instructions supplied?

Mike

[calmncomfy]

There is an instruction manual for general tagging instructions with additional specific instructions for 3rd party processors & dynamic site tools for:

Yahoo Stores
eBay
ASP
JSP
Cold fusion MX

I don't really understand that.

I have attached an extract of "where to insert your file" from the general part of the affiliate manual that doesn't actually use the exact code (this is in my earlier attachment). However, I am uncetain on how to make the actual script Actinic compatible as p72 of the Actinic AUG gives something completely different.
Further help would be much appreciated.

[Mike Hughes]

OK. So this is just the conversion counter. My mistake as I thought you wanted to track the conversion values as well which is why I thought something was missing.

All you need to do is put the code they gave you onto the page. They seem to want it in the header section in which case fine. Put it in the page just before the </head> tag.

Mike

[calmncomfy]

Cheers, only problem now is my strange Act_Order04.html looks like the attached file, which on searching does not have a </head> tag.
Any alternative suggestions to get this done?

[Mike Hughes]

Good point. The content of Act_Order04.html gets placed in the primary template used for checkout which is where the <HEAD> tags are.

I'd ignore the bit about placing it in the header area and just place it at the bottom of Act_Order04.html before the </body>tags. It should work fine there.

Mike

[calmncomfy]

There's no </body>tags either. Should I just put it right at the bottom after:

<B>NETQUOTEVAR:TRADEMARKS</B></FONT></TD></TR></TABLE></span><
/Actinic:EXTRAFOOTERTEXT>
</DIV>

<!-- Receipt HTML end -->

Or is that likely to cause problems?

[Mike Hughes]

Yes, just put it at the end. No, it shouldn't cause any problems.

Mike

[calmncomfy]

OK done it!
Thanks

[TraceyHand]

Thanks for this thread! Was looking for the same answer and, although I knew it should be in order04, I found no <head> or <body> tags either!
I'll add where advised here!
These forums are great, aren't they?!
