Dev Tools Features, Benefits & Use Cases

- Transactions
- Commissions
- Events
- Creatives
- Campaigns
- Payments
- Affiliates
Use Case
Your client uses an ecommerce platform that doesn’t directly integrate with Easy Affiliate.
REST easy!
Use the Create Commission API key on each affiliate-related sale on your e-commerce platform. Automatically trigger the API to create and log the appropriate commission in Easy Affiliate.
Webhooks: Offer Time-Saving Solutions
Add value to your solutions by setting up streamlined automations so your clients can switch up administrative hassle with money-making hustle.
Send post requests to any URL you want when the following events happen in Easy Affiliate:
