UTM Parameters |
UTM Parameters are a means of monitoring, managing, and evaluating customer acquisition sources. UTM parameters typically consist of five elements: Source Channel (utm_source), Medium of the campaign (utm_medium), Campaign Name (utm_campaign), Specific Content (utm_content), and Keywords (utm_term). |
Campaign | Each link with UTM parameters is considered as a “campaign”. |
Clicks | The “Clicks” for affiliate links includes the total clicks for all campaigns. Each audience member is counted once per day, regardless of the number of clicks on the homepage. |
Trials | The number of registrations through affiliate links to SHOPLINE. The count remains unaffected even after the account’s trial period ends. |
Paid Conversion | “Paid Conversion” refers to the number of subscriptions through the invitation link. When a customer subscribes via the affiliate link, any subsequent package upgrades or renewals contribute to the paid conversion count, incrementing it by 1. |
Revenue | The commission earned through the affiliate program is calculated in USD, with the platform converting subscription amounts from different countries' currencies to USD for uniform calculation. |
