Settings & Design

Manager Accounts

Under System → Managers you manage all manager accounts. You can create accounts, pause them, assign permissions and view the activity log per manager.

Create a new manager: System → Managers → New Account. Set contact details, password (6-16 characters, mixed letters and numbers), programs and access rights.

Program Management

Under System → Programs you see all programs with name, partner count, status and actions.

• Pause program: No transactions, no access to creatives or data
• Visibility: Visible programs accept applications

Create a New Program

Under System → Programs → New with: title, language, description, first click target (e.g. shop homepage), at least one commission product, currency (fixed, cannot be changed), manager access, cookie duration, terms and conditions.

Tracking Codes

Under System → Tracking Codes you find the tracking pixel for integration on your order confirmation page. The pixel transmits data from your shop and the partner cookie to QUALITYCLICK and creates an open transaction.

The three most important parameters in the pixel:

Tracking Code Assistant

The built-in assistant translates the pixel syntax into the programming language of your shop system. Specify which language your shop runs on and how your parameters are named — the assistant generates the ready-to-use code.

A detailed description of all pixel parameters can be found under Tracking Pixel.

Tracking Type

Under System → Tracking Type you choose which pixel variant is displayed on the Tracking Codes page:

• Combined JavaScript tracking: Automatically includes the conversion tracking code and a noscript fallback as an invisible image. This is the recommended variant.
• Standard pixel tracking: Only the image pixel (img tag). The conversion tracking code (get_conv.cgi) is shown separately as an optional iframe and must be added separately if needed.

Custom Fields

Under System → Tracking Codes → Manage Custom Fields you define additional variables that are saved with transactions.

Create a Custom Field

Click "Add new custom field", assign a name and set the visibility for partners. Each program has its own custom fields.

Custom Fields in the Tracking Pixel

Each custom field can be addressed via the parameter &FF_[Number]=:

FF_1 = IP
FF_2 = Email
FF_3 = Name
FF_4 = Other

https://partner.your-site.com/get_trans.cgi
  ?cpid=1&tid=OrderNo
  &FF_1=127.0.0.1
  &FF_2=customer@example.com
  &FF_3=John+Doe
  &FF_4=Other

Where Are Custom Fields Displayed?

• Manager: In the transaction overview (expandable per row) and in the transaction detail view
• Partner: Also under "Open Transactions"
• Export: Custom fields can be included in CSV exports

Tracking Parameters

Under System → Tracking Codes → Tracking Parameters you store custom parameters that are automatically appended to all outgoing partner links — e.g. utm parameters for Google Analytics.

This way you can evaluate affiliate traffic separately in your own web analytics without partners having to manually add parameters.

Partner Terms & Conditions

Under Communication → Program Description → System T&C you define the terms of collaboration with your partners.

Upload Terms

You have two options:

1. As PDF/URL: Upload your terms as PDF in System → Resources → Folder "site" or link an external URL. Enter the address in the "System T&C" tab.
2. As text: Click "Write new terms" and enter the text directly. For a local copy by partners we recommend the PDF variant.

Terms Update

System terms are requested upon a partner's first registration. If you change the terms later, you can use "Reset partner T&C check" to force renewed consent. Partners must agree on their next login.

Program Terms

For different terms per program, use the T&C field in the respective program description.

Design & Branding

The design of QUALITYCLICK can be customized via CSS files under System → Resources → Folder "img":

• base.css: Partner and manager area
• admin_style.css: Manager area only
• partner_style.css: Partner area only

Replace logo: Upload a new file named qc_logo.png. For a different filename, adjust the files _header.htm and _admin_header.htm in the "html" folder.

Activity Log

Under System → Activity Log all actions by partners and managers are recorded. Searchable, filterable by individual partners or managers.

Allowlist

Under System → Allowlist you protect your tracking from unauthorized domains. Once the allowlist is activated, only listed domains are accepted for tracking and creatives — all other domains are blocked.

How it works:

• Enter all allowed domains in the URL fields (e.g. www.your-shop.com)
• Use * as wildcard for subdomains (e.g. *.cloudfront.net)
• Click "+ Add row" for additional entries and "Apply changes" to save

Three protection areas:

• Banner URLs in creatives: Controls which domains are allowed for hosted creatives
• Landing page URLs in creatives: Controls which domains creatives may link to
• URLs in product data feeds: Checks links in imported product data

API Access

Under System → API Access you manage the credentials for the SOAP and CSV API.

Per access you see:

• Label: Freely chosen name (e.g. "Shop Backend", "CRM Integration")
• Ident: Your API identifier (username)
• Key: Automatically generated when created (API password)
• Program: Assignment to a single program or all programs

New access credentials are always created as "Active". API documentation can be found under SOAP Admin API and CSV API.

Manager Permissions in Detail

When creating a manager account under System → Managers → New Account, 21 individual permissions are available:
