Connecting Trade Doubler PVN on Clarisights
Trade Doubler PVN is Trade Doubler's network setup that lets brands, agencies, and large publishers run their own partner network on Trade Doubler infrastructure. Use this integration when your Trade Doubler account is structured as a network with one or more advertiser organisations under it. Reporting is scoped to a single advertiser organisation, identified by its advertiser organisation ID.
If your Trade Doubler account is a standard advertiser account (not run as a PVN), use the Trade Doubler integration instead.
Set up by Clarisights: Trade Doubler PVN is not available as a self-serve tile on the Integrations page. To connect it, contact your Clarisights account manager. You prepare the Trade Doubler credentials described below and the Clarisights team completes the connection for you.

Prerequisites
An active Trade Doubler PVN at connect.tradedoubler.com
API client credentials issued from Trade Doubler under Tools → API Info → Clients → Add new client. Capture the Client ID and Client Secret.
A Trade Doubler login (username and password) that has access to the network's advertiser organisation
The advertiser organisation ID for the advertiser you want to report on
Steps to Connect
Step 1: Generate Trade Doubler PVN 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 network user that has access to the advertiser organisation.
[TODO: Screenshot needed: Trade Doubler API Info / Clients page]
Step 2: Locate the advertiser organisation ID
In Trade Doubler Connect, navigate to the advertiser organisation under your network. The numeric ID is part of the URL. If you can't find it, ask your Trade Doubler account manager for the advertiser organisation ID of each advertiser you need to report on.
Treat the Client Secret and password like passwords. They grant read access to every program under the advertiser organisation.
Step 3: Ask Clarisights to connect Trade Doubler PVN
Contact your Clarisights account manager (or support from the in-app messenger) and ask for Trade Doubler PVN to be connected. Share the Client ID, Client Secret, username, password and advertiser organisation ID through the secure channel your account manager provides. Do not paste them into a regular chat or email thread.
Step 4: Programs are added automatically
Once the credentials are in place, Clarisights checks that they sign in to Trade Doubler and adds every active program under the advertiser organisation as an account. Each program keeps its native currency in Trade Doubler, while amounts are reported in your Clarisights company currency.
⚠ Credentials rejected → Confirm the Client ID and Client Secret are correct and not revoked, and that the username and password sign in cleanly at connect.tradedoubler.com. If the password was rotated recently, share the new one with your account manager.
⚠ Choosing the wrong integration → If your Trade Doubler account is a regular advertiser (not a PVN), use the Trade Doubler integration instead. A missing or wrong advertiser organisation ID also stops the connection from working.
Verify the connection
Your Clarisights account manager confirms when the programs are connected.
First data appears at the next scheduled refresh (within about 24 hours).
Quick start: create a new report, add Trade Doubler PVN as the data source, and add Program · Publisher · Clicks · Sales · Commission Total.
Data available

Limitations & known constraints
Set up by Clarisights: there is no self-serve Trade Doubler PVN tile on the Integrations page. Connections, credential updates and extra backfills go through your Clarisights account manager.
One advertiser organisation per connection: each connection is scoped to a single advertiser organisation ID. Networks with several advertiser organisations need a separate connection for each.
3-day rolling window: each scheduled run pulls today and the previous 3 days. Older corrections (for example, late commission status changes outside that window) need a backfill, which your account manager can request.
API rate limits: Trade Doubler limits how quickly its API can be queried, so advertisers with many programs may see longer refresh times.
Hierarchy mapping: Trade Doubler's hierarchy is Program → Publisher → Source. Clarisights shows Source (Site) as Ad Group and the Trade Doubler ad from the transactions report as Ad.
Currency conversion is done by Trade Doubler: Clarisights requests reports in your company currency and Trade Doubler converts the amounts, so values may differ slightly from those shown in the Trade Doubler UI in the program's native currency.
Operating notes
Refresh schedule: daily, with a lookback of today plus 3 days to catch late-attributed transactions.
Multi-account: a single set of Trade Doubler credentials plus the advertiser organisation ID covers every program under that advertiser organisation. Programs added in Trade Doubler after the initial connection 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: access tokens refresh automatically. If the password or Client Secret changes, share the new values with your Clarisights account manager.
