With the “Digistore Affiliate Sale” event element, affiliate purchases made by contacts can be tracked in Quentn.
The prerequisite is that the contact was contacted via a Quentn email and completed the purchase through a link in that email. Only then can the purchase be assigned to the respective contact.
1. Add the event element in Quentn
Open the desired campaign in Quentn.
Drag the “Digistore Affiliate Sale” event element into the campaign and open it by double-clicking it.
Inside the element, you will find the S2S Postback URL. Copy this URL.
Alternatively, you can also find the Postback URL under:
Settings → API Info → Digistore
2. Create an integration in Digistore24
Log in to Digistore24 and switch to the “Affiliate” view.
Then go to:
Purchases & Partners → Integrations
Create a new integration.
When selecting the events, we recommend enabling all available events.
Then paste the S2S Postback URL you copied from Quentn and save the integration.
3. Select products and events in Quentn
Go back to Quentn and open the “Digistore Affiliate Sale” event element.
Here, you can select which products and events the element should respond to.
If you only want to track specific products, you need to enter them manually.
Please note:
- Enter only one product per line.
- The product ID is the key information used for matching.
Make sure that you enter the correct Digistore product ID.
How the attribution works
To assign a purchase to a contact, Quentn uses a so-called Click ID (CID).
The process works as follows:
- A contact receives an email from Quentn.
- The email contains a link to a Digistore page.
- Quentn adds a Click ID to the link.
- The contact clicks the link and completes a purchase.
- Digistore24 sends the information back to Quentn via the configured Postback URL.
- Quentn uses the Click ID to assign the purchase to the corresponding contact.
Important: Existing CID parameters
If the link already contains a CID, Quentn will not overwrite it.
Make sure your links do not already contain another CID parameter that could interfere with the attribution.
Automatic Click ID detection
Quentn can automatically add the Click ID to certain Digistore links.
This applies, among others, to links containing the following parameters:
aff=#aff=
A CID is also added automatically when linking to certain domains, including:
www.checkout-ds24.comcheckout-ds24.comwww.digistore24.comdigistore24.com
If you are also a vendor and link to a sales page for your own product, Quentn can automatically recognize the corresponding link as well.
Add the Digistore Click ID manually
The most reliable option is to add the Click ID to the link manually as a parameter.
For this purpose, Quentn provides the “Digistore Click ID” placeholder.
You can find it in the placeholder selection and add it as a parameter to the corresponding Digistore link.
Set a parameter globally for a campaign
Starting with the Pro plan, you can also define a parameter globally for an entire campaign.
You can find this setting in the campaign overview.
The parameter entered there is then automatically appended to the links within the campaign.
Result
Once the setup is complete, Quentn can assign affiliate purchases to the corresponding contacts.
This allows you to see which contacts in your campaign purchased through your Digistore links and continue the campaign with additional steps based on that information.
