How to Find a Vendor ID on Clickbank

Clickbank is a payment processor used by thousands of digital product vendors to manage fee processing and the subsequent delivery of digital goods. Clickbank makes it easy for vendors and affiliate marketers to connect, as more than 100,000 affiliates have accounts integrated with the Clickbank digital products marketplace. When vendors create a Clickbank account, they chose an ID, which is later combined with the affiliate's ID, to build a unique URL or "hoplink" for sales tracking purposes.

Instructions
 1

Log in to your Clickbank account. Click "Marketplace" on the horizontal navigation menu. In the page that opens, a list of categories is displayed on the left-hand side of the page. At the top of this page, you'll see a search box entitled "Find Products."
 2

Browse the marketplace by category or enter a keyword in the search box. A list of relevant products pertaining to your category or keyword will load. When you find a product that you are interested in promoting, click the "Promote" button next to the product description. A small window will pop up, with a field to enter your affiliate ID and an optional personal-tracking ID.


3

Note the URL in the address bar of the small window. The last string of words will look something akin to "vendor=2COOK." "2COOK" is the vendor ID.

Tips & Warnings

A Clickbank hoplink to be promoted on your affiliate website or in email newsletters is correctly formulated as "http://AFFILIATE-ID.VENDOR-ID.hop.clickbank.net" (without quotes). However, to help prevent would-be customers from stealing your commissions by replacing your ID with their own ID, enter your affiliate ID in the small window that appears when you click the "promote" button. This will generate an encrypted URL that disguises both the affiliate and vendor IDs.

After adding your Clickbank hoplink to your website, test it to make sure you it is working right, and that customer sales you refer will be credited to your account. Click on your referral hoplink, and scroll down the vendor's sales page until you see an image or text link to purchase the product. Once clicked, this will load a Clickbank order form. If all is working as it should, at the bottom of the form, you will see "[affiliate=YourAfilliateID]" (without quotes).
