WP&InstaMember + JVZoo + AdTrackzGold = IMPOSSIBLE?

Hi warriors,

I have a huge problem. Not sure if it's my fault / lack of knowledge. Anyway, I'm hoping for a solution here.

I have a member site built with WordPress + Insta-Member. Payments are done via JVZoo.
So far so good. When someone buys, they are redirected to JVZoo, and after payment, the are redirected back to the members area. Works great.

But now the problem. I need to track everything, because I'm going to send traffic from different traffic sources and I need to know which sources are working well and which are not. A while ago I already bought AdTrackzGold (ATG)

This is the situation:
- Create a campaign in ATG. Shorten the link in Bit.ly. This link goes through ATG and redirects to the opt in page. - ATG records the clicks.
- When they opt in, this is also tracked, but only if the campaign in ATG is set to 'Clicks, Actions & Sales'.
- After opting in, they are redirected to the tripwire sales page.

Now... when they buy the tripwire (and upsell/downsell) this must be tracked IN ATG as well.

How can I do that? Instamember has no 'normal' thankyou page. Instead JVZoo redirects a customer to instamember and then they are instantly logged in at the members area.

I've read something about adding a '&tid=' querystring to the affiliate link, but I have no affiliate link yet. I'm (at this point) only using JVZoo as payment processor. Besides, this '&tid=' doesn't eve work when the ATG campaign type is set to 'Clicks, Actions & Sales'. It only 'works' when the campaign type is set to 'Affiliate Link with TID'.

And when I do that, ATG won't track optins anymore. I've tried that.

I can't believe that this is SO difficult. I just need one place where I can track everything. Clicks, Optins and sales with the values.

Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you!!

Maurice

      Hi Its Trish,

      I like Instamember a lot. It's a great program, but the tracking integration with tracking is not easy.
      I'm also missing Stripe as payment processor.

      So I decided to use JVZoo as payment processor. With JVZoo I can offer Paypal AND Stripe as payment processor.

      But then again, the tracking is very difficult. So I hoped that JVZoo had a solution. Unfortunately they don't offer a solution either. They don't send the order amount back, so there's no way to do proper tracking.

      Since I only offer downloadable products and my traffic source is solo-ads, I had to change things.

      Even though I like Instamember, it has not enough functionality for me. I NEED stripe integration, or a gateway that can do it for me (like JVZoo.) and I NEED proper tracking.

      So I had to replace Instamember with Woocommerce and I am not going to use JVZoo as payment processor.

      Instamember and JVZoo are great programs, but they're all very centered on themselves, without thinking about connecting their stuff to other stuff. If I want to track the amounts, etc, I have to manually export a CSV from JVZoo and import it into the tracking software. Yeah, right.

      With Woocommerce I have both PayPal and Stripe working and it works like a charm. With Woocommerce I can track everything, from beginning, to end. I can place tracking pixels everywhere I want. For the tracking itself I switched to CickMagick.com. They're MUCH, MUCH better than AdTrackzGold. ATG is very nice but it misses a lot of things. One of the things ClickMagick offers is measuring the quality of the traffic. And they give proof, for when you get fake traffic.

      I also experienced that Instamember gives ZERO support. I have asked several questions, via mail and their ticket system, and I never got an answer. You are completely on your own. Expect no help from them.

      Maybe in the future I'll checkout DAP.

      Maurice
