Prerequisites
An active Trade Doubler advertiser account at connect.tradedoubler.com
API client credentials issued from Trade Doubler — Tools → API Info → Clients → Add new client. Capture the Client ID and Client Secret.
A Trade Doubler login (username + password) with read access to advertiser programs, statistics, transactions, and digital wallets

Steps to Connect
Step 1 — Generate Trade Doubler API credentials
Sign in to Trade Doubler Connect, open Tools → API Info → Clients, and add a new client. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret. You will also need the username and password of a Trade Doubler user that has access to the programs you want to report on.
[TODO: Screenshot needed — Trade Doubler API Info / Clients page]
Treat the Client Secret and password like passwords. They grant read access to every program linked to the advertiser.
Step 2 — Add Trade Doubler in Clarisights
In Clarisights, go to Integrations → Trade Doubler → Add Account.
[TODO: Screenshot needed — Integrations page Trade Doubler row]
Step 3 — Enter credentials
Provide a friendly Account Name, then paste your Client ID, Client Secret, Username, and Password. Click Validate.
Clarisights exchanges these for an OAuth access token, then queries /advertiser/programs and lists every active program available to your advertiser.
⚠ "Invalid credentials" on validate → Confirm the Client ID / Secret are correct and not revoked, and that the username / password sign in cleanly at connect.tradedoubler.com. If your password was rotated recently, re-enter it. The integration uses the OAuth password grant; if Trade Doubler disabled it on your client, ask your Trade Doubler account manager to re-enable it.
Step 4 — Select programs
Pick the programs you want to connect, optionally rename them, and click Create Accounts. Each program becomes one account in Clarisights and inherits its native currency from Trade Doubler.
Verify the connection
Go to Integrations → Trade Doubler. Each connected program should show a "Connected" status.
First data appears at the next scheduled refresh (within ~24 hours).
Quick start: create a new report, add Trade Doubler as the data source, and add Program · Publisher · Clicks · Sales · Commission Total.

Limitations & known constraints
OAuth password grant: Trade Doubler's API uses the password grant flow. If Trade Doubler tightens grant types in the future, you may need to re-issue your client credentials.
3-day rolling window: each scheduled run pulls today + the previous 3 days. Older corrections (e.g., late commission status changes outside that window) require a manual backfill from support.
Rate limits: 20 API calls per minute per company-channel pair. Large advertisers with many programs may see longer end-to-end ingest times.
No native Ad Group at the program level: Trade Doubler's hierarchy is Program → Publisher → Source. Clarisights aliases Site / Source as Ad Group, and individual transactions as Ad.
Currency conversion is API-side: Clarisights requests reports in your company currency via
reportCurrencyCode. Trade Doubler does the conversion, so amounts may differ slightly from values shown in the Trade Doubler UI in the program's native currency.
Operating notes
Refresh schedule: daily, with a today + 3-day lookback to catch late-attributed transactions.
Lookback: 3 days on every run.
Multi-account: a single set of Trade Doubler credentials covers every program linked to the advertiser. Programs added in Trade Doubler after the initial connect are discovered and added on the next refresh.
Currency conversion: handled by Trade Doubler at request time. To change the reporting currency, update your Clarisights company currency.
Credential rotation: tokens auto-refresh; if the password or Client Secret rotates, update them in Integrations → Trade Doubler → Edit Credentials.
