Splio’s Sales Tracker provides resources for Splio Customers or Partners to link a campaign sent from a Splio universe or SMTP Relay to the associated sales, executed on the customer’s side. The Sales Tracker is an invisible picture placed on the final confirmation page of payment on your website. The picture, which has neither width nor height, is connected to Splio’s tracking server.
There is no action to be made on Splio’s side and you can start using this feature right away.
If you require assistance, feel free to contact our support team.
You only need to set-up two parameters to make it work and enable the cookie in Admin>Privacy>Settings.
- your universe’s name
- the purchase amount (as shown in the example below).
URL: United Resource Locator
SSL: Secured Socket Layer
Process description
- When a recipient clicks on a link in the newsletter, we add cookies to the local Internet client. They contain the following information:
- ID of the customer without any personal information
- Campaign ID of the newsletter clicked
- URL ID of the link clicked
- When the purchase is made, the tracker registers the total value of the basket provided into the https request and matches it with the email address, campaign ID and URL ID.
- The campaign’s turnover is then available and displayed within the universe.
Statistics available with the tracker:
Once the tracker is activated, the following statistics will be available in your Splio universe:
- Total purchases by campaign
- Total value (turnover) by campaign
- Total purchases by user
- Total value (turnover) by user
- Turnover generated per link *
*You will also be able to segment users with the total purchases amount. (Only available to campaigns sent from Splio platform, not SMTP Relay)
Access
The request to post is:
https://s3s.fr/sales.php?universe=myuniverse&amount=PurchaseAmount
Example:
<img src="https://s3s.fr/sales.php?universe=myuniverse&amount=10000.00&id=123456abcd width="0" height="0" border="0" alt=""/>
The example above will:
- add 10000.00 to the campaign growth revenue
- add 10000.00 to the customer’s database value
- add 1 transaction to the campaign’s total transactions
- add 1 transaction to the customer’s transactions sum
- create a separate entry for the sales tracker call
The last link used within the Campaign Newsletter is kept for tracing.
Parameters’ description:
| Parameter | Possible input | Description |

Your Splio UNIVERSE |
| amount= | Purchase value | Total purchase value. The amount value string must not contain any currency symbol nor space. The decimal separator can be adot or a comma. |
| id= | Unique transaction ID | A unique transaction ID has to be provided in order to avoid double posting of the same purchase transaction (in case the buyer refreshes the purchase confirmation page). |
Splio’s Sales Tracker is operating in silent mode, and hence, does not return any status code. Only the image is returned.
