Not long ago, on December 13, we marked five years since the start of the project that has since grown into AlterCPA! To mark this wonderful occasion, we’re presenting a new version of the AlterVision CPA Platform v 3.7!
The key feature of this version is stability. We went through the system’s shit code as thoroughly as we could and scrubbed out every dubious spot. Several dozen minor bugs and botched features have been fixed.
Critical update: we made all the buttons in the system square! We also wanted to repaint the interface from green to green, but we ran out of paint.
We’ve done serious work on exporting data to Excel across every section of the system. We decided to drop the none-too-stable CSV in favor of the MS Excel XML data format. On top of reworking the export mechanism itself, the export option is now available in every tabular-statistics section of the affiliate dashboard.
Speaking of statistics: allow us to present a new statistics tool for affiliates and system administrators – multi-level click analytics. It lets you analyze traffic by any available criteria, arranging them into whatever hierarchy suits you best.
The affiliate dashboard has also gotten a nice addition: a generator for ready-made files containing the code to send leads via the API. It’s only available to affiliates who’ve been granted access to this API function.
We didn’t neglect affiliate network admins either, adding a few useful tools for them too. Managing a user’s balance has finally – five years after launch – become normal and understandable: there’s now a separate form dedicated to crediting and debiting funds on the affiliate’s and the advertiser’s balances.
Speaking of balances, there’s also a very important improvement worth mentioning: the API for integrating with third-party services. Now these APIs let you pass along the payout amount and your own partner commission on the fly. All you need to do is set some base amount in the payouts – just enough for it to show up – while pulling the real figures for each payout from your partners via the API.
And so partners and affiliates don’t get confused, we’ve added advanced settings for catching duplicate leads. No more hidden parameters – everything’s open and available in the system’s advanced settings.
A birthday, and even more so a system’s anniversary, is a time when gifts are customary. So after a bit of deliberation, we decided the gifts should go to us. That’s why we’ve revised our license pricing upward. If you didn’t manage to grab a license at the old price – sorry …
