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.
On Rakuten, the integration with wecantrack runs through the API. Generate the credentials in wecantrack (or Rakuten), paste them in the other system, and conversions flow on every qualifying event.
Whatever the Rakuten offer is configured to fire on: a completed sale, a qualified lead, or a custom event. Sale amount, commission, transaction ID, and SubID flow through to wecantrack.
Yes. wecantrack pushes attributed Rakuten conversions into Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, and Meta as offline conversions or server-side events, matched to the click. Optimise paid campaigns on real commission revenue.
No. Setup is copy-paste between wecantrack and your Rakuten dashboard. Most affiliates connect Rakuten in under fifteen minutes.
Yes. wecantrack preserves Rakuten's SubID parameters and passes them through to Google Analytics, Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, and Meta.
Ten to fifteen minutes end to end: configure credentials between wecantrack and Rakuten, and conversions start flowing on the next Rakuten event.
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.
