Registration Link-Out Specifications

Overview
A registration link-out is an offer where Aptimus collects a portion of the required registration information from the consumer and then delivers the consumer to the client site where the registration process is completed. Registration link-outs are intended for offers that have a complex order process, which must be hosted by the client. All information collected by Aptimus can be pre-populated into the client form to facilitate the process.

Typical contracts will include a partial fee due Aptimus for the initial lead and full payment on leads that convert on the client site. All registration link-outs utilize a real time tracking method for the client to communicate back the success of the order to Aptimus.

Completing the Order
To properly status the order in the Aptimus database the client will need to send Aptimus an indicator to specify the success of each order.

The preferred method of sending acceptance and rejection information is using the post method. This information can be sent daily to keep records and billing up-to-date. Below are example strings the client would send to report back a successful order to Aptimus:

Example using order id:

<https://username:password@network.aptimus.com/AptiNet/OrderStatus?orderid=2222&status=ACCEPT>
<https://username:password@network.aptimus.com/AptiNet/OrderStatus?orderid=2222&status=REJECT&desc=DuplicatedUserRecord>

Example using offer id and email address:

<https://username:password@network.aptimus.com/AptiNet/OrderStatus?offerid=55&email_address=test@test.com&status=ACCEPT>
<https://username:password@network.aptimus.com/AptiNet/OrderStatus?offerid=55&email_address=test@test.com&status=REJECT&desc=FAILED%20due%20to%20invalid%20name>
