Most affiliate plugins count clicks. wecantrack tracks what those clicks actually earned. wecantrack was built by affiliate publishers in 2019 and is backed by a strategic investment from Awin, one of the world’s largest affiliate networks. **The problem with affiliate data** If you publish affiliate content, your sales data is scattered. Every network has its own dashboard, so you log into five or more of them just to see what you made. You cannot tell which article drove a sale, which traffic source converts, or whether your paid campaigns are profitable, because the conversion never makes it back to the page or the ad that caused it. So you guess. wecantrack closes that gap. The plugin adds a unique click ID to your affiliate links, tracks the session and click behind each one, and matches it to the conversion data we pull from your networks. The result is one [affiliate dashboard](https://wecantrack.com/affiliate-dashboard/?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=wecantrack-plugin&utm_campaign=description) showing revenue, clicks, conversions and EPC across every network, broken down by page, traffic source and campaign. **Set up tracking in minutes, no developer needed** * **One-click install.** Add the plugin, paste your wecantrack API key, and tracking starts. No code and no tags to place by hand. * **Automatic click IDs.** The plugin inserts unique SubIDs in your affiliate links for you, so every conversion traces back to the exact click. * **Safe by design.** If the service is ever unreachable, links fall back to their original URL, so nothing breaks for your visitors. **Works with your existing link setup** Already cloaking links with **Pretty Links**, **ThirstyAffiliates**, **Lasso**, ** Redirection** or **Datafeedr**? Keep them. wecantrack runs alongside your cloaker and places the click ID during the redirect, server side, adding [link cloaking](https://wecantrack.com/link-cloaking/?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=wecantrack-plugin&utm_campaign=description) and conversion attribution those plugins do not provide, without changing how you work. **Turn affiliate sales into marketing data** Once your conversions are attributed, send them anywhere you optimise: * **[Google Analytics 4](https://wecantrack.com/affiliate-sales-in-google-analytics/?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=wecantrack-plugin&utm_campaign=description).** See affiliate revenue as conversions next to the rest of your traffic, by landing page and source. * **[Google Ads](https://wecantrack.com/affiliate-sales-in-google-ads/?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=wecantrack-plugin&utm_campaign=description), [Meta](https://wecantrack.com/affiliate-conversion-tracking-in-facebook/?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=wecantrack-plugin&utm_campaign=description), [Microsoft Ads](https://wecantrack.com/microsoft-ads-affiliate-conversion-tracking/?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=wecantrack-plugin&utm_campaign=description), [TikTok](https://wecantrack.com/affiliate-conversion-tracking-tiktok-ads/?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=wecantrack-plugin&utm_campaign=description), [Snapchat](https://wecantrack.com/affiliate-sales-tracking-in-snapchat-ads/?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=wecantrack-plugin&utm_campaign=description), [Pinterest](https://wecantrack.com/affiliate-sales-tracking-in-pinterest-ads/?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=wecantrack-plugin&utm_campaign=description), [Reddit](https://wecantrack.com/affiliate-conversion-tracking-in-reddit-ads/?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=wecantrack-plugin&utm_campaign=description).** Feed real sales back to the ad platforms so smart bidding optimises on revenue, not clicks. * **[Looker Studio](https://wecantrack.com/affiliate-sales-in-looker-studio/?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=wecantrack-plugin&utm_campaign=description), [BigQuery](https://wecantrack.com/installation/bigquery-integration/?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=wecantrack-plugin&utm_campaign=description), [Zapier](https://wecantrack.com/zapier-affiliate-conversion-integration/?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=wecantrack-plugin&utm_campaign=description) and webhooks.** Build custom dashboards or pipe the data into your own stack. **Built for affiliate publishers** Bloggers, media publishers, coupon and deal sites and price comparison sites use wecantrack to see which content earns, retarget the right audiences, and run paid campaigns on CPA and ROAS. > “WeCanTrack takes the guessing out of affiliate marketing and provides a one-stop- > shop for all your dashboarding needs.

It adds a unique click ID to your affiliate links, tracks the sessions and clicks on your site, and matches them to the conversion data wecantrack pulls from your affiliate networks. You get one dashboard showing which pages, sources and campaigns earn, and you can send that data to Google Analytics and your ad platforms. ### Do I need a wecantrack account? Yes. The plugin connects your site to your wecantrack account using an API key. Creating an account is free and comes with a 15-day trial. ### Do I have to use the plugin, or can I use the JavaScript tag? Either works. We recommend the plugin for WordPress sites because it stays compatible with cloaking plugins and handles click IDs server side during the redirect. ### How do I track affiliate sales in Google Analytics? Connect your networks in wecantrack, install this plugin, and enable the Google Analytics integration in your account. Attributed conversions then appear in GA4 as events next to your traffic. Full guide: [tracking affiliate sales in Google Analytics](https://wecantrack.com/affiliate-sales-in-google-analytics/?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=wecantrack-plugin&utm_campaign=description). ### Can I optimise Google Ads, Meta or TikTok on affiliate conversions? Yes. wecantrack pushes attributed affiliate sales to Google Ads, Meta, Microsoft, TikTok, Snapchat, Pinterest and Reddit as conversions, so smart bidding can optimise on real revenue. ### Which affiliate networks are supported? More than 450, connected by API, postback URL or automated import. See the [full list of supported networks](https://wecantrack.com/affiliate-networks/?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=wecantrack-plugin&utm_campaign=description). ### Does it work with Pretty Links, ThirstyAffiliates or other cloaking plugins? Yes. The plugin is compatible with Pretty Links, ThirstyAffiliates, Lasso, Redirection, Datafeedr and most redirect plugins, and places the click ID during the redirect. ### What happens if wecantrack is unreachable? Will my links break? No. Links fall back to their original URL, so your visitors are never affected. ### Why are some conversions not showing yet? We can only attribute conversions that carry our click ID. Clicks from before you installed can still convert under the network cookie window, so coverage grows over the first few weeks. If clicks are not registering at all, it may be a cloaking, caching or URL-pattern issue, so contact support@wecantrack.com. ### Are multisite installs supported? Not yet. Contact support@wecantrack.com if you need this. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/43011b7473a6736f9a6e4c7e5620234dae89876b0210d6eb44098c99e90b2380? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Best plugin for affiliates.

Dezember 2024 I’m an Aeronautical Engineer and an Industrial Engineer turned an affiliate blogger. Sold one property for 750,000 USD in 2024, and in Nov 2023 all properties combined made over 100,000 USD. I never give 5 stars. What WCT does in this era of evil corps is a hidden gem. My #1 recommended plugin for serious affiliates. Extremely well thought out, zero bullcrisp. Wouldn’t have been so successful without WCT. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d8aeddcd2e2b22d55ac9d307017f9d4c37ff3c5378604a25bc5ee4ae04339cab? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[GAME changing!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/game-changing-11/)󠁿 [ryanm](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ryanmillermiller/) 18.

Abrëll 2022 1 reply Easy installation of tracking for affiliates. All the affiliate data gathered in one place, before using this software we would not even know where the conversions came from. Now we get detailed data about EPC, CR and other data that we can use to increase our turnover. Also very easy to connect to the affiliate platforms which is great. Highly recommended! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b91c162673268786050cf58b8328508a509ff63474d990e529170f84bb640553? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Essential if you’re serious about being an affiliate](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/essential-if-youre-serious-about-being-an-affiliate/)󠁿 [MissThing](https://profiles.wordpress.org/missthing/) 21.
