Additionally, it should be mentioned that on the affiliate list page, in the upper left corner, there is an icon that appears in case of suspected multi-accounting. The system checks if the same IP was used by users during authorization, the same postback was set, or the same payment method was specified. This information is for informational purposes only.

To check the Affiliate details, in the list of Affiliates, open the Affiliate page. All the information is organized into several sections.

Affiliate postbacks are used to track conversions outside the Scaleo system.The postbacks can be fired to an Affiliate system whenever an event occurs (a conversion gets recoded, a conversion status gets changed, etc). To manage Affiliate Postbacks, go to Affiliates > Postbacks. The full list of available postbacks is available there. If necessary, you can filter them by status, affiliate, offer, and level. To edit a postback, select it in the list and click on the Edit button. To add a new postback, click "Add Postback".

When adding a postback in this menu, the following options are displayed for configuration:

• Select Status: Active/Inactive. Select the Active status to make the postback available immediately or pick Inactive to disable the postback.
• Select Level. Scaleo supports four types of Affiliate Postbacks:
  Global (Affiliate) — the postback will be executed for all Offers run by the Affiliate. It will work with all Goals except the CPC (cost-per-click) type as there are no conversions generated for CPC Goals in Scaleo.
  Specific — the postback will be executed for the selected Offer only. If the Goal is not specified, the postback will be executed for all Goals in that Offer.
  Global (Offer) - the postback will be executed for all the Affiliates for the selected Offer and Goal type.
  All Affiliates and All Offers - the postback will be executed for all Offers run by all Affiliates. This is convenient when it's needed to add a single postback for all Offers and all Affiliates on the platform. It's also worth noting that this postback will not be visible to Affiliates in their postback settings on the platform.
• Select Conversion Status: All/Approved/Pending/Rejected/Trash. Postback will be executed only for the conversions with the selected status.
• Select Method: Postback (Cookieless)/HTML Pixel (Cookie-Based). Please learn more about them in the Attribution Methods guide.

Simply create a Promo Code for an affiliate to advertise to their audience. Since this method does not require a Tracking Link, the conversion is automatically attributed to the offer and the Affiliate using that particular Promo Code.

In this section, you can create promo codes for specific Offers directly within the affiliate's profile. Everything is in one place for your convenience.

This section displays brief information about the affiliate's referrals, including their name, status, registration date, and commission amount for the last 30 days. Additionally, the partner's referral link is shown. This section is active only if the referral program is globally enabled.

Every Affiliate can add their domain(s) to track the conversions. To manage Affiliate Tracking Domains, go to Affiliates > select the Affiliate in the list > Tracking Domains > Manage. On this page, you can filter them by status and change some of their parameters. To edit the tracking domain, select the one in the list and click the Edit button.

To add a new Tracking Domain, click Add Domain.

Next, select the status (Active/Inactive) and enter the tracking domain link.

Make sure you click Add to apply changes. After you have added the affiliate's domain, please notify our Support team to finalize the settings.

This section displays the commission plans assigned to the Affiliate. The Commission Plans can be assigned and unassigned here. This section is available only for the Brand business model of the platform.
