Manual Connection
Not using one of the above e-commerce platforms? Fear not, we'll keep your setup as simple as possible too. You've got too options:
- Connecting LeadDyno to your website following the Visitor and Lead tracking below, and using a payment processor for tracking Purchases.
- Connecting LeadDyno to your website following the Visitor and Lead tracking below and using a payment processor not integrated with LeadDyno (i.e. Square). Note this requires REST API.
Installation
In order to be ready to connect LeadDyno to your site, access your public and private keys via the Account - Info section. From there, connecting LeadDyno to your site typically involves three simple steps:
- Installing Visitor Tracking;
- Configuring Lead Tracking;
- Adding Purchase Tracking.
We will guide you through each step with this guide. If you're ever stuck, please contact us. We are here to help you get set up quickly and pain-free.
Visitor Tracking
To get visitor tracking setup, add the following code to the <body> section of each page on your website:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://static.leaddyno.com/js"></script>
<script>
// If you use multiple sub-domains, set the root domain here
// LeadDyno.domain = "yourdomain.com";
LeadDyno.key = "YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY"
LeadDyno.recordVisit();
</script>
Replace "YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY" with the public key from the Account - Info section. This will load the LeadDyno library and begin tracking where your visitors are coming from!
Note: This code should be on every page of your website, similar to Google Analytics.
Lead Tracking
Your next step in your LeadDyno setup is to capture the email address of your visitors since an email address is required in order to track affiliate referrals for your purchases. For our system to pick up the first and last name during lead submission, you need to ensure that their IDs are first_name and last_name.
There are three different ways to do this:
Option 1: AutoWatch
The easiest way to track leads is to use the autoWatch() function, which will automatically watch all inputs on your site for a lead email. To enable this, simply add the following code to the LeadDyno tracking script:
LeadDyno.autoWatch();
Option 2: Watch
Alternatively, if you are familiar with jQuery, you can use selectors to tell LeadDyno to watch particular inputs for a lead email:
LeadDyno.watch("#email"); // will watch fields with the ID 'email'
Option 3: Record Lead
If you want more control over when the lead email is captured, you can use the recordLead() function in your own client site event listeners (e.g. on a form.submit () event handler): PayPal or Stripe )
$('#my-form').submit(function(){ LeadDyno.recordLead($("#email").val()); });
Your LeadDyno Code
After adding the domain, your public key, and the lead tracking function to the LeadDyno code, here is how your code should look:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://static.leaddyno.com/js"></script> <script> LeadDyno.domain = "yourdomain.com"; LeadDyno.key = "1234567890" LeadDyno.recordVisit(); LeadDyno.autoWatch(); </script>
In case your LeadDyno code has a different structure, or if you're stuck on any of the steps above, please contact us at support@leaddyno.com so that we can lend a helping hand.
Purchase Tracking
Next up is purchase tracking, and it can be done in one of three ways:
- Using a purchase tracking integration (e.g. PayPal or Stripe);
- Using the LeadDyno REST API;
- Using the LeadDyno Javascript Library.
Option 1: Using Integrations
If you are using a billing system that we integrate with, purchase tracking is very simple: you can find more details in the Integrations section of our Help Center.
Option 2: The REST API
If you are not using one of the systems we integrate with, the next option is to use LeadDyno’s REST API.
You will issue POST and DELETE requests to the http://api.leaddyno.com/v1/purchases URL to create and cancel purchases, respectively.
Additional parameters and documentation can be found in the Purchases API docs.
Option 3: Using Javascript
Your final option is to track purchases via the Javascript library. You can do this by adding the following javascript code to the ‘Thank You’ page after a user has purchased:
LeadDyno.recordPurchase("john@example.com", {
purchase_amount: "12345"
});
and, to record cancellations, invoke the following javascript:
LeadDyno.recordCancellation();
Note: Purchases created via the Javascript API will need to be approved via the Purchases Page before they are credited to affiliates, in order to prevent fraudulent purchases.
Note On Setting Up The Purchase Tracking: Please note that setting up the purchase tracking requires coding knowledge, as the documentation mentioned above needs to be modified to fit your use case. In the situation where the purchases don't get tracked through your REST API/Javascript implementation, we would recommend contacting a REST API/Javascript developer who can help with reviewing & editing the purchase tracking implementation.
