ITNS (Instant Transaction Notification Service) Integration

The affilicon system allows you as a vendor to automatically receive and process information on successful sales and on other transactions like returns via Instant Transaction Notification Service (ITNS) in real time .

The service offers you a connectivity solution for any system that is able to process POST-requests.

We already offer completed and easy-to-configure connections to:

These connections can be activated for your products in a few steps in the tab “Integrations” in your administration area.

However, if you would like to use self-written scripts or so far unincorporated systems (i.e. iContact), our classic ITNS-connection could be useful.

To create an ITNS-Integration, please do the following:

1. After logging in to affilicon.net, create a new product in your administration area or choose an already existing product. Click "Edit". 

2. Select “Integrations” and click “+ Add new integration”. Select the "classical ITNS connection" from the drop-down menu "Type of integration".

3. Enter your URL into the field "ITNS URL". Under this term we mean the script that we should address.

    We will send data to your own system, which can trigger an action you have selected: e.g. create member accesses, lock them on return and chargeback, enter customers in newsletter.

4. Enter a secret key into the field "Secret key". This field is optional. The "Secret key" signs the telegram so that it is clear that it comes from us. Select letters and numbers for the "Secret key".

5. Enter a prefix into the field "Prefix". This field is optional. Select letters and numbers for the prefix. By software created for Clickbank, you can usually enter a 'c' for prefix to use them.

Installation on the pages of your servers:

In order to receive the data on your server, you will need to have a POST-able script, which can be created, for example, in PHP, Perl, or Ruby.

After successful payment or refund, a notification will be processed via a POST-call up of the registered URL, which typically looks like this:

http://www.yourserver.com/abcd/yourscript.php

The script, that receives and processes on part of your server all the data, might look like the following:


<?php

$recipient = $_POST['custemail'];

$subject = 'Thanks!';

$message = 'Hello ' . $_POST['custfullname'] . ', thank you, for purchasing my product!';

$header = 'From: test@test.de';

mail($recipient, $subject, $message, $header);

?>


Besides the variables directly supported by our system you can also transfer your own information about the customer or the purchase, such as a client number or a ‘tag’ at the order link.

You can arrange this by using of the GET parameter “custom”. We will then report it back 1:1 per ITNS immediately.

A calling of this sales link could look like this:
