ii. Click the ‘+’ button to add a new integration
iii. Search for CJ, and once it appears in the results, click the ‘Add’ button next to it.
Step 2: Configure Settings
After clicking on Add, you’ll be redirected to the following page to proceed with the integration setup.
i) Enter API Details
API Key: Provide the API Key from the CJ Affiliate portal.
Requestor CID: The Requestor CID or Company ID functions like your account number. This unique number identifies your account and differentiates it from other publisher accounts on the CJ platform. You can find it within your CJ Affiliate platform.
Website ID: The Website ID (also known as PID) helps publishers identify their CJ Affiliate account at a more granular level. If you manage multiple promotional properties on CJ—like websites, social media handles, or newsletters—each will have its own unique PID. This ID can be easily found within the CJ platform and is used to track transactions and attribute performance to specific properties.
