Note:
Hash parameters {sub_id1_hash} to {sub_id5_hash} and {affiliate_id_hash}
When these macros are used in the Landing URL, the hashed values of the affiliate_id and sub_id1 to sub_id5 parameters will be passed to the advertiser. Simultaneously, the original values of these parameters are stored in the database and displayed in transactions.
Usage example: Let's say you receive the value "scaleo" in the sub_id1 parameter. If you wish to use the hashed value of sub_id1 in your Landing Page, simply include the macro {sub_id1_hash} instead of {sub_id1}. Our system will automatically replace {sub_id1} with the hashed value "c822c1b638". Meanwhile, the original value "scaleo" will be stored in the database for further processing.
