Getting started

• For any affiliate program that you would like Primary to load your affiliate IDs for:
  • In your existing account, create a new tracking ID or sub-ID that is specific to Primary.  This will enable you to measure the specific impact Primary is making on your site's total revenue.
  • Make a copy of this spreadsheet.
  • Fill in your Primary-specific tracking IDs.
  • Share your copy of the spreadsheet with support@threadloom.com.
• The following steps help us optimize your conversion rates by improving ranking:
  • For each affiliate program you are using with Primary, grant read-only reports access to partners@threadloom.com.  Alternatively, you can email monthly CSV reports to support@threadloom.com.
  • For Amazon: Create a new Product Advertising API key and email it to support@threadloom.com.  Note: Amazon permits affiliates two active keys.
