They are independent — you can run both, and the two use different tracking parameters (`vtid` for your own sales, `tid` for affiliate commissions). Don't configure one expecting it to cover the other. ## How JVZoo differs from other merchants JVZoo is a **hosted checkout**. Your funnel owns the sales pages; JVZoo owns the cart, the payment, and the upsell sequence. * There is **no checkout API** — buyers leave your page for JVZoo's checkout. * **One-click upsells run inside JVZoo's funnel**, not ElasticFunnels'. The `jvzoo-checkout-state.js` script that JVZoo gives you belongs in the `` of your upsell pages. * The post-purchase thank-you page is configured **per product in the JVZoo product editor**, not passed as a redirect parameter. ## Prerequisites * Active JVZoo seller account with an approved product funnel * Your JVZoo **Account ID** (the vendor number, e.g. `117845`) * Your product IDs from JVZoo (e.g. `448013` for the front end) * Your JVZoo **funnel ID** — see Step 3 ## Step 1: Create the JVZoo merchant 1. Go to **Settings** → **Merchants** → **Add Merchant** 2. Select **Gateway**: JVZoo 3. Enter your **Account ID** — your JVZoo vendor number. This becomes the first segment of every buy link. 4. Tick **Create tracking pixels** to have the JVZoo sales pixel added automatically (see [Tracking pixel](#tracking-pixel)) 5. Save ## Step 2: Assign the merchant to a domain 1. Go to **Settings** → **Domains** → **Edit Domain** 2. Select your JVZoo merchant from the dropdown 3. Save All funnels on this domain now build JVZoo buy links. ## Step 3: Get your JVZoo funnel ID JVZoo buy buttons are generated **per funnel**, and the funnel ID is baked into the link: ``` https://www.jvzoo.com/b/117845/448013/99 ^vendor ^product ^funnel ``` To find it: 1. Log in to your JVZoo **Seller Dashboard** 2. Click the **⋯** menu next to your product → **Buy Buttons** 3. Select your **Funnel** from the dropdown at the top (not "No Funnel") 4. Read the last number off the generated button link — `99` in the example above The same funnel ID appears on every product in that funnel, and in the tracking pixel URLs. If your product **is** in a JVZoo funnel, use the buy buttons from the funnel, not from the individual product. A link missing the funnel segment sends buyers through JVZoo's standalone-product flow, so your one-click upsells silently never run — the front-end sale still succeeds, which makes this fail quietly. Selling a single product with no upsells? Choose **No Funnel** in JVZoo and leave **JVZoo Funnel ID** blank in ElasticFunnels. Buy links then have two segments instead of three, and everything else on this page works the same. See [Direct purchase links](#direct-purchase-links). ## Step 4: Set the JVZoo Funnel ID in ElasticFunnels 1. Go to **Funnels** → **Edit Funnel** 2. In the **Domains** section, find the row for your JVZoo domain 3. Enter the funnel ID into **JVZoo Funnel ID** 4. Save It lives on the domain row rather than the funnel itself, so one funnel served on two domains can point at two different JVZoo funnels. This mirrors how **ClickBank Pitch Flow ID** works. ## Product mapping ElasticFunnels product codes are yours; JVZoo product IDs are numeric. Map them per product: 1. Go to **Products** → edit the product 2. Under **Merchant Product IDs**, set the **jvzoo** value to the JVZoo product ID (e.g. `448013`) If no mapping exists, the product code is sent as-is — which only works if your ElasticFunnels code happens to be the JVZoo numeric ID. ## Buy links Use the standard tag on your sales page: ```html theme={null} Buy Now ``` With the merchant, mapping, and funnel ID configured, that expands to: ``` https://www.jvzoo.com/b/117845/448013/99?vtid=&aff= ``` | Part | Source | | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `117845` | Merchant **Account ID** | | `448013` | Product's **Merchant Product ID** for jvzoo | | `99` | **JVZoo Funnel ID** on the funnel's domain row | | `vtid` | ElasticFunnels click code — the vendor tracking ID, used to attribute the sale | | `aff` | Affiliate ID, when the visit was affiliate-referred | Upsell tags (`[UPSELL=...]`) build the same shape for your OTO products, carrying the same funnel ID and click code. `vtid` is the **vendor** tracking parameter — your own sales. `tid` is the **affiliate** SubID, used when you promote someone else's product. ElasticFunnels never writes to `tid`, so an affiliate's own sub-tracking passes through untouched on affiliate-driven sales. ## Direct purchase links You don't have to use `[BUY=...]` tags — a hardcoded JVZoo link works too, and works with or without a funnel. **It must carry `vtid`**, or the sale arrives with no click attribution. Use the `{click_id}` token and ElasticFunnels substitutes the visitor's click code when the page renders: ```html theme={null} Buy Now Buy Now ``` In a backend script, use the template-engine syntax instead: ``` https://www.jvzoo.com/b/117845/448017/99?vtid={{ click_id }} ``` `{click_id}` and `[click_id]` (and their URL-encoded forms) are the legacy page-HTML substitutions and are still supported; `{{ click_id }}` is the current template-engine syntax. The legacy `{click_id}` form is **case-sensitive** — `{CLICK_ID}` is not substituted and ships the literal text to JVZoo, which then posts back a tracking ID like `{CLICK_ID}` that matches no click. Those sales are flagged as a malformed click ID and cannot be attributed. Prefer `[BUY=...]` tags where you can: they pick up the funnel ID, product mapping, and affiliate ID automatically, so a hardcoded link is one more place to update when any of those change. ## Tracking pixel JVZoo requires a sales pixel on each sales page. Ticking **Create tracking pixels** when you add the merchant creates it for you: ```html theme={null} ``` Nothing to fill in — all three values resolve per page at render time: | Token | Resolves to | | ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | | `{jvz_acc_id}` | The merchant's Account ID | | `{product_code_first}` | JVZoo ID of the first buy button on the page | | `{jvz_funnel_id}` | The funnel's JVZoo Funnel ID | | `{product_codes_comma}` | Every product code on the page, deduped and comma-separated | Because the product ID comes from the buy buttons, the same pixel works on your front end and every OTO page without editing. ## Affiliate attribution JVZoo only tells you which affiliate sent a visitor if you turn it on, **per product**: 1. In the JVZoo product editor, find the **sales page URL** field 2. Set **Pass Affiliate ID to Sales Page** to **Yes** 3. Repeat for every product in the funnel JVZoo then appends `?aid=` when it hands the visitor to your page. ElasticFunnels stores it in the session and puts it back on the buy link as `aff`, so JVZoo credits the sale. This setting is **off by default**. With it off, affiliate traffic arrives with no affiliate ID and those sales cannot be attributed — there is no way to recover the attribution afterwards. ## Postbacks Sales, refunds, and chargebacks for products you vend come back over JVZIPN. Set this up under **JVZoo Vendor IPN** — see [JVZoo Vendor IPN](/integrations/jvzoo#jvzoo-vendor-ipn) for the secret key, IPN URL, and event mapping. Set up **JVZoo Vendor IPN**, not JVZoo Affiliate S2S. The affiliate one listens for commissions on other sellers' products and will never receive events for products you vend. ## Troubleshooting The buy link is missing its funnel segment, so JVZoo used the standalone-product flow. Check **JVZoo Funnel ID** is set on the funnel's domain row, and that you copied it from the funnel's buy buttons rather than the individual product's. Check the product's **Merchant Product ID** for jvzoo. With no mapping, the ElasticFunnels product code is sent verbatim and JVZoo will not recognise it. **Pass Affiliate ID to Sales Page** is off for that product in JVZoo, so no `aid` ever reached your page. It must be enabled per product. The IPN arrived without a tracking ID matching an ElasticFunnels click code. Either the link was hardcoded without `?vtid={click_id}`, or the events are landing on the affiliate integration rather than JVZoo Vendor IPN. Inbound payloads are recorded under **Logs** → **Inbound Postbacks**. The token wasn't substituted, so JVZoo received it verbatim. Check the capitalisation — `{click_id}` is case-sensitive — and that it is in the page's HTML rather than a tracking script or JS block. `{product_code_first}` reads from the buy tags on the page. A page with no `[BUY=...]` or `[UPSELL=...]` tag has no product to report.
