How to integrate Cake affiliate conversions in Google Analytics

In order to integrate Cake conversions in Google Analytics and other marketing tools, it is necessary to attribute the sales data to the traffic data. Our service automatically places SubIDs in your affiliate links, which enables us to automatically match your traffic and affiliate conversion data.

The installation is done in four simple steps:

  1. Create a wecantrack account
  2. Connect your Cake account to our system via API
  3. Connect your website to our system
  4. Activate the integration feature

How to connect your Cake account via API

If you want to connect your Cake account with our system, you need to provide us with an API key for each Cake account and with Affiliate IDs of all your Cake sub accounts. Additionally, we will need the Domain of the network. Those credentials need to be filled in within our data sources page which you can find by following this link: https://app.wecantrack.com/user/data-source/networks/cake/accounts/create

You can give each of the data connections different names and tags. This enables you to easily filter your data on account or sub account level.

Where can I find the Cake API Key and Affiliate ID?

  • Log into your CAKE portal (this will vary for each program).
  • Select Settings > Integrations.
  • Both the API Key and Affiliate ID are listed on this page.
  • Fill in the required credential on our integration page: https://app.wecantrack.com/user/data-source/networks/cake/accounts/create
  • Enter the Login domain of the network excluding http:// or https:// (e.g.: login.smartresponse-media.com)

How to connect your CAKE publisher account via Postback URL

You have the option to decide whether you want to connect your Cake network account to our system via API or Postback URL. Only one integration method is required but we recommend using the API because it delivers richer data.

You can generate your Cake Postback URL here: https://app.wecantrack.com/user/data-source/networks/cake/accounts/create

 

How can I create a CAKE Postback URL?

  • Log into your We Can Track account
  • Go to Data Sources > Affiliate Networks > CAKE or you can follow this link: https://app.wecantrack.com/user/data-source/networks/cake/accounts
    Click on + "Add New Account" and Select "Postback"
  • Give the network account a name of your choice (this name will appear in your reports)
  • If possible, please fill in the advertiser name, else our system will use the Campaign ID.
