To manage your Skimlinks program on Rakuten Advertising, you must use the 'Offers' tool to set exclusive rates and the 'Reports' dashboard to track transaction-level data. Skimlinks synchronizes with Rakuten daily to ensure your Hub reflects the latest commissions.
How to find Skimlinks on Rakuten
To take any action, you first need to identify the correct Skimlinks account:
- Account Name: Skimbit Ltd (this is our legal entity).
- Status: Ensure Skimlinks is an Approved publisher in your Rakuten program.
Setting Exclusive Rates (Step-by-Step)
- Log in to your Rakuten Advertising dashboard.
- Navigate to Offers > Create New Offer (or 'Exclusive Offers').
- Search for Skimbit in the publisher list.
- Set the higher commission rate and Assign it exclusively to Skimbit.
- Save and activate the offer.
Resolution: Why is my Rakuten data different?
- Sync Window: We pull data from Rakuten once every 24 hours. Sales made in Rakuten today will not appear in your Skimlinks reports until tomorrow.
- Sub-ID Transparency: In Rakuten, Skimlinks publisher data is passed through the U1 or SID fields. Use the Individual Item Report in Rakuten to see domain-level details.
- Action: Only contact support if a sale is missing in Skimlinks after 72 hours of appearing in Rakuten.
