Client-side Tracking

Step 1 - Tracking Visits

Please copy/paste the following code into the <head> section of every page on your web site where you expect your affiliates to drive traffic. Make sure to replace YOUR-PUBLIC-KEY below with the Public API key from your Refersion account.

<!-- REFERSION TRACKING: BEGIN -->
<script src="//www.refersion.com/tracker/v3/YOUR-PUBLIC-KEY.js"></script>
<script>_refersion();</script>
<!-- REFERSION TRACKING: END -->

Step 2 - Sending orders via Javascript on a "Thank You Page"

For this type of tracking, you must add code into your "thank you" or confirmation page. This would be the page that all customers are directed to after completing their order. Below is sample code which you should use as a starting template.

Within this code, you must dynamically insert the customer's transaction information from the respective order. We've added some dummy order information for your reference. Not all data is required, but all is recommended. A description of each field is available at the end of this article.

For best performance, place this code just before the </body> tag in your HTML remembering to replace YOUR-PUBLIC-KEY with the Public API key from your Refersion account.

🚧
In order to function properly, the click tracking code described in Step 1 and this code must run on the same domain and security level (http/https).

<!-- REFERSION TRACKING: BEGIN -->
<script src="//www.refersion.com/tracker/v3/YOUR-PUBLIC-KEY.js"></script>
<script>
_refersion(function(){

	_rfsn._addTrans({
		'order_id': '12345',
		'shipping': '11.90',
		'tax': '5.23',
		'discount': '2.32',
		'discount_code': 'TESTCOUPON',
		'currency_code': 'USD'
	});

	_rfsn._addCustomer({
		'first_name': 'Nancy',
		'last_name': 'Parker',
		'email': '[email protected]',
		'ip_address': '808.53.77.22'
	});

	_rfsn._addItem({
		'sku': 'DD23444',
		'quantity': '2',
		'price': '100'
	});

	_rfsn._addItem({
		'sku': 'XJ66778',
		'quantity': '3',
		'price': '50'
	});

	_rfsn._addItem({
		'sku': 'MP39592',
		'quantity': '2',
		'price': '1000'
	});

	_rfsn._sendConversion();

});
</script>
<!-- REFERSION TRACKING: END -->
