Hey everyone, I got my first commission yesterday (keeping my fingers crossed) and I have a question that is a bit off what PT can actually do - I want to know which item was bought (or which page did they buy it from), so I contacted Commission Junction to find that out, and the answer I got was:
You will have to contact the Merchant to find that out...
I mean... - WHAT??? - Do I have to contact my merchants about every sale that I will make??? - That is ridiculous to say the least!
Not to track the purchases would mean "to go blind trying to sell something I dont even know what!"
So my question is: How do you track what products do you sell? and Which pages bring you money?
Thanks in advance.

Hey Kelly, - Thanks a lot! - I dont understand why commission junction could not come up with that :)!!
PS: You are right, it does not work for all the merchants, but it does for those that list the SKU/PI.
Thanks again
Paul

also, with Commission Junction you can use shopper ID's (SID) to help you track your sales better.
Take a look around the forums linked above and you'll find a lot of good advice and tips
Well done - that will wet your appetite!
I don't know if this works for every merchant, but it does for argos -
if you go to "run reports", you get a list of pending commissions,
click on the price of one of the transactions and you get a summary of the commission.
Click on the price again and you get a commission report at the end of the table is "Details".
Click on details and it gives you another table with the SKU/PI number which you can look up in your feed.
