Summer is still in full swing, but it’s wandering around somewhere outside central Russia, which means it’s the perfect time to warm up with a cup of hot mulled wine and knock out a couple thousand lines of fresh code. The long-awaited AlterCPA v 3.11 for Workgroups has landed in the stable release!
As always, this is the best AlterCPA that has ever existed — because nobody but us makes AlterCPA, and we’re obviously not about to make it worse. But we do keep our promises.
Arbitrage teams can now be considered a full-fledged tool in your affiliate network’s kit. We’ve added two major capabilities: configuring payout splits and granting the whole team access to an offer. Under the hood, arbitrage teams also went through plenty of changes — now they run as fast as possible and have zero effect on network performance. Workgroups will be pleased.
We keep expanding the ways you can configure your network quickly and easily, without touching any code. A nice little addition for admins is the new “Reference Books” section, where you can easily set up all sorts of “useful lists” throughout the system: primary and secondary offer categories, traffic types.
The built-in CRM and call center also picked up one handy new feature. Call center operators can now reschedule a lead’s processing time regardless of its status — that’s no longer a privilege reserved for leads still sitting in call center processing. Packing, shipping, delivery — any department can now set up convenient lead processing with a reschedule to whatever time is needed.
But all of that pales next to a genuinely major upgrade: AlterCPA’s built-in CRM now has warehouse inventory tracking! You can register every product line you’ve got in stock and attach it to existing offers and the products nested inside them. And to everyone’s delight, you can also check the buyout rate stats for each product line — a small thing, but a nice one.
Logistics has always been the eternal problem with our CRM in AlterCPA. Given your love of “scheming” in every color and flavor, there’s just no way we could cover even the tip of the CPA logistics iceberg. So we’ve given the delivery interface a bit of a tune-up and put together a guide to setting up your own logistics service for you.
All these CRM updates are available not only in the professional AlterCPA, but also in the free CPAmoe. If you’re still just thinking about getting the professional version, you can go play around with the warehouse feature over at cpa.moe
A few smaller improvements:
- A company stats export API (docs for it will “get here eventually” in one of the upcoming rebuilds)
- Every mention of WebMoney and WMR has sunk into Lethe — let’s take a moment of silence for WMR.
- Improved order search by identifiers (lead ID, click ID, and both external IDs)
- Blocking duplicates in the trash as a handy way to shake off spammers
- Automatic support messages sent when offer access is granted
- Order distribution that takes UTM tags into account
- Improved correction and recognition of phone numbers
The 3.11 stable release will still get a few minor documentation updates — keep an eye out for them on Twitter and Telegram.
