If you would like to integrate your Rakuten affiliate conversions in Google Analytics, we will need to match your conversion and traffic data. Once you placed our JavaScript snippet or installed our WordPress plugin on your website, our software automatically places SubIDs in your Rakuten affiliate links, through which we can automatically match your traffic and affiliate conversion data.
The installation is done in four simple steps:
In order to connect your Rakuten account with our system we require the Network ID and your Rakuten API Token which you can find within the Rakuten platform. 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/rakuten/accounts/create
Connecting Rakuten Advertising to wecantrack makes sense if you fall into any of these buckets:
Rakuten Advertising (formerly Rakuten LinkShare) is a major global affiliate marketing network, part of Rakuten Group, covering thousands of advertiser programs across retail, travel, fashion, and lifestyle with strong presence in the US, UK, and APAC. Connect your Rakuten Advertising publisher account to wecantrack and every commission gets matched to the click, campaign, and keyword that produced it.
With your Rakuten account connected to wecantrack, your commissions are attributed to the click, campaign and page that earned them. Through the MCP connector, Claude, ChatGPT and any AI that supports MCP can read that data, so you can ask which advertisers pull their weight or how your Rakuten revenue compares with last month.
Rakuten Advertising doesn't publish a public advertiser directory. Rakuten hosts thousands of advertiser programs across retail, travel, and lifestyle; the brands visible inside your dashboard depend on the programs you've joined. Connect your Rakuten Advertising account to wecantrack to import every active offer, SubID, and commission you have access to into your unified dashboard.
Once you fully connected your Rakuten accounts to wecantrack you have the possibility to let us integrate your conversions in your Google Analytics accounts. To accomplish that only two more steps are needed (JavaScript insertion and Ecommerce activation in Google Analytics accounts) which should not take longer than 10 minutes.
