In this article, we'll go over the step-by-step process of setting up the API Integration with ClickBank.

What you'll need for the integration:

An active ClickBank Account
An active ClickFlare Account
Your ClickBank clerk_api_key and dev_api_key

Where can I find my ClickBank Clerk API Key and Dev API Key?

Start by:

Logging in into your ClickBank Account.
Go to the Account Settings (top right corner).
If you scroll to the end of the page, you'll find both the Clerk API Key and Developer Key (see image below).
Copy them and be ready to use them during the integration in ClickFlare.

Adding the ClickBank integration to ClickFlare.

Begin the process by:

Entering the Settings' Menu (gear icon in the upper right corner) inside ClickFlare.
Go to the Integrations tab.
In the Affiliate Network Integrations' section, click on Add Integration.
Give your integration a name, and select ClickBank from the Integration Type dropdown menu.
Paste the Clerk API Key and DEV API Key, you copied earlier, in the respective fields.
Once done, click on Save.
Your new Integration will now be listed on the Integrations Menu.
Go to custom conversions from the right-side menu, and create a new custom conversion called Sale (see image).
Finally, turn on Include in Conversions and Revenue, and click Save

✅ Done. Your integration is ready to use.

Important Note: For the integration to work, you need to pass the ClickFlare click ID to ClickBank. Like for every other Affiliate Network, the click ID is passed through the Offer URL. But differently from other AN, you need to use the "{clickbank_click_id}" macro for the click ID, instead of the usual {cf_click_id}. For more info on this, click here.
