This step allows you to control exactly what purchase events are sent to CJ. You can block or allow orders based on Source Channel Name, Order Tag, Customer Tag, or Order Gateway.

The most common scenario where retailers may want to block or send orders is with offline orders. Learn how to block these orders in this guide.

Configure Subscription Settings

Do you sell subscription products? If you do, you can choose to send first-time orders only or first time + recurring orders to CJ.

Optional: Enter Test Mode

If you'd like to test the CJ integration before going live, you can enter Test Mode. Test requests will not impact any real data for your affiliate program. A CJ team member can provide you with the results of your testing.

Press Go Live

That's it! Your CJ server-side integration is live. There is no need to remove your client-side tracking - just ensure your client-side and server-side tracking are using the same Transaction Identifier so CJ can deduplicate correctly.
