Performance reports & referring URL for Rakuten Merchants

Skimlinks offers full transparency on which Publishers are driving sales to Rakuten merchants via the reports in Rakuten's interface.  You can download a report from the Rakuten platform that contains commissions with the Skimlinks domain name.

This can be done via the these steps:

1. Log in to Advertiser Dashboard
2. Select "Reports" > "Reporting" from top nav
3. Under "Choose Report" select any report (minus the Media Optimization or Multi-Touch Commission Reports)
4. Set your Date Range
5. Under "Add and Remove Columns" on the right side of the Reporting UI, select any columns in the section titled "Sub-Network"
6. Drag & Drop added columns to the desired position in the report
7. Select "View Report"

For the Referring URL, when you pull a signature activity/order reports in Rakuten, you can add a "Referrer URL" field and often see which page a sale came from. 

If you do not see the referring URL in the report, you can find reasons why a referring URL may not appear here. 

If the referring URL is not visible in Rakuten, then unfortunately we will not have the information either; but, you can reach out to our fantastic Account Specialist team to be set up for monthly reporting on which domains are driving you traffic and sales.
