Affiliate Sales in Google Analytics and other tools

The affiliate conversion tracking plugin for WordPress. wecantrack connects you to 450+ affiliate networks, attributes every sale back to the page, click and traffic source that earned it, then sends that revenue data into the tools you already use: Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, Microsoft Ads and more. Most affiliate plugins count clicks. wecantrack tracks what those clicks actually earned. wecantrack was built by affiliate publishers in 2019 and is backed by a strategic investment from Awin, one of the world's largest affiliate networks. The problem with affiliate data If you publish affiliate content, your sales data is scattered. Every network has its own dashboard, so you log into five or more of them just to see what you made. You cannot tell which article drove a sale, which traffic source converts, or whether your paid campaigns are profitable, because the conversion never makes it back to the page or the ad that caused it. So you guess. wecantrack closes that gap. The plugin adds a unique click ID to your affiliate links, tracks the session and click behind each one, and matches it to the conversion data we pull from your networks. The result is one affiliate dashboard showing revenue, clicks, conversions and EPC across every network, broken down by page, traffic source and campaign. Set up tracking in minutes, no developer needed

• One-click install. Add the plugin, paste your wecantrack API key, and tracking starts. No code and no tags to place by hand.
• Automatic click IDs. The plugin inserts unique SubIDs in your affiliate links for you, so every conversion traces back to the exact click.
• Safe by design. If the service is ever unreachable, links fall back to their original URL, so nothing breaks for your visitors.

Works with your existing link setup Already cloaking links with Pretty Links, ThirstyAffiliates, Lasso, Redirection or Datafeedr? Keep them. wecantrack runs alongside your cloaker and places the click ID during the redirect, server side, adding link cloaking and conversion attribution those plugins do not provide, without changing how you work. Turn affiliate sales into marketing data Once your conversions are attributed, send them anywhere you optimise:

• Google Analytics 4. See affiliate revenue as conversions next to the rest of your traffic, by landing page and source.
• Google Ads, Meta, Microsoft Ads, TikTok, Snapchat, Pinterest, Reddit. Feed real sales back to the ad platforms so smart bidding optimises on revenue, not clicks.
• Looker Studio, BigQuery, Zapier and webhooks. Build custom dashboards or pipe the data into your own stack.

Built for affiliate publishers Bloggers, media publishers, coupon and deal sites and price comparison sites use wecantrack to see which content earns, retarget the right audiences, and run paid campaigns on CPA and ROAS.

"WeCanTrack takes the guessing out of affiliate marketing and provides a one-stop-shop for all your dashboarding needs. No more checking 5+ networks daily to see your commission, but enjoy the data and insights the way you like." MissThing, WordPress.org review "All the affiliate data gathered in one place, before using this software we would not even know where the conversions came from. Now we get detailed data about EPC, CR and other data that we can use to increase our turnover." arminza, WordPress.org review

5.5.0 - 21st August 2026

• New "Optimizer compatibility" panel on the settings page: shows which page optimization plugins are active and confirms the tracking script is automatically excluded from their JavaScript optimization
• New "Tag health check": fetches your homepage and verifies the tracking tag visitors actually receive, detecting missing tags, tags belonging to a different website in your account, and stale copies of the script bundled by an optimizer
• Optimizer plugins we cannot exclude automatically yet, and failed tag checks, are reported to wecantrack (authenticated with your own API key) so support can help proactively and native exclusions can be added in future releases

5.4.1 - 21st August 2026

• Exclude the tracking script from SiteGround Optimizer's "Combine JavaScript Files" feature, which downloads external scripts into a combined bundle and would keep serving a stale copy of the tracking script

5.4.0 - 19th August 2026

• Prevent page-optimization plugins from breaking the tracking script: the wct.js tag is now automatically excluded from minification, combination, deferral and delaying in WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, Autoptimize, W3 Total Cache, WP-Optimize and Perfmatters, including installs using a custom proxy domain
• Add opt-out attributes to the script tags for optimizers without exclusion hooks (Cloudflare Rocket Loader, FlyingPress and others)

5.3.0 - 30th July 2026

• Support the click ID placeholder in cloaked affiliate links: add {wct_click_id} (or the custom placeholder from your wecantrack website settings) anywhere in the target URL of your link cloaking plugin (e.g. Pretty Links) and it is replaced with a click ID at redirect time, even for advertiser domains that match no known network pattern
• Also accept the default placeholder written without braces (wct_click_id) when no custom placeholder is configured
• Register placeholder clicks with the wecantrack Clickout API in the background, without delaying the redirect
• Show "Connected · tracking off" in the admin header when the API connection is verified but tracking is disabled, instead of a plain "Connected"

5.2.0 - 17th July 2026

• Add a one-click upgrade to the new wecantrack tracking script (v2) on the settings page when your website still uses the legacy script

• Redesign the admin pages: connection card with at-a-glance status, collapsed API key once verified, toggle switches instead of Enable/Disable radios, inline save feedback, and a page header with connection state
• Settings are visible but locked until the API key is verified, instead of appearing progressively
• Adopt lowercase wecantrack branding across the admin UI
• Rename the "Settings" submenu to "Advanced" and collapse the deprecated afflink section to a footnote
• Remove the deprecated Redirect Page admin screen
• Allow overriding the API base URL via the WECANTRACK_API_BASE_URL constant (for local development; the default remains production)
