Reporting: Explanation and Operation

The Reporting is your affiliate performance analysis screen. Over the period you choose, it brings together your key metrics (clicks, conversions, commissions, revenue, ROI) and the breakdown by partnership, ad, commission rule or product.

Requirement: you need an active program, at least one partnership and traffic over the analyzed period. With no data for the period, the chart and the tables stay empty.

Access the Reporting

The Reporting is a menu of its own, in the Tools section of the sidebar. It is no longer nested under “Manage programs” as in the old interface.

  1. In the left menu (Tools section), open Reporting.
  2. If you manage several programs, select the right program at the top of the page.
  3. Choose the period to analyze using the filters below the chart.

Read and analyze your performance

The page shows the last 30 days by default. At the top, your key metrics; in the center, a trend line chart; below, a detailed table split into tabs.

  • Click a metric to display it in the chart and follow its evolution.
  • Hover over the chart to read the exact value for a given day.
  • Switch between the Partnerships, Ads, Rules, Products and Groups tabs to change your angle of analysis.
  • Click a column header to sort the table.

Save a report and find it again

Once your filters and columns are set, save this view to reopen it in one click, without setting everything up again.

  1. Click Manage reports, then Save this report.
  2. Give it a name in the Report title field, then confirm with Save.
  3. Find your saved views in that same window, under Saved Reports.

From the list, the pencil icon Edit report name renames a view and the trash icon Delete report removes it. If you pick a name already in use, the message A report with the same title already exists. appears.

Export your data to CSV

The download icon at the top of the page, tooltip Download CSV, opens the Export reporting page. That is where you choose the scope and the fields.

  1. Set the Period, the Currency and the Timezone.
  2. Select the Export type (Partnerships, Ads, Rules, Products or Groups) and the Fields to include.
  3. Click Generate CSV: the download starts straight away.

Why use the Reporting

  • Measure your program’s performance in real time (revenue, commissions, ROI).
  • Identify your best partners and focus your efforts on them.
  • Compare the effectiveness of your ads, rules and products.
  • Export your figures for internal reports or accounting.

Best practices

  • Look first at ROI and EPC: they reveal real profitability, beyond raw click volume.
  • Always compare the same period month over month to read a reliable trend.
  • Check the Products tab to spot the items that convert best.
Tip: create one saved report per recurring use (for example “Monthly review” or “Top partners”). You then reopen it in one click from the Saved Reports list.

Use cases

  • End-of-month review: filter on the past month, sort partnerships by revenue, then export the table to CSV for your internal reporting.
  • Optimize a key partner: open the Partnerships tab, spot a low EPC despite a high click volume and adjust the commission rule.
  • Track a product operation: after an influencer campaign, open the Products tab to measure the sales and conversion rate of the tested items.

Frequently asked
questions

This message appears on the export page, when you click Generate CSV and nothing matches your filters. Widen the period, change the export type, or check that the program actually received traffic and conversions.

A report already has this name. Choose a different title, or rename the old one with the pencil icon in the reports list.

In the report currency, not in cents: an amount of 1,234.56 is written 1,234.56, and the column header repeats the currency in brackets. Percentages are real percentages too, 12.34 reads as 12.34%.

It is no longer there. Since the interface redesign, the Reporting is a separate menu, in the Tools section of the sidebar.
