Connect Awin
Awin uses a single OAuth2 Bearer API token tied to your login, plus your numeric Publisher ID that tells ChaffChing which account to read. The token covers every publisher account your login can see, so the Publisher ID is what scopes it. Keys stay in your device Keychain; access is read-only.
- API Token (OAuth2)
- Publisher ID
Before you start
- You need Admin access to the Awin account you want to pull data from.
- One token covers all publisher accounts on your login — so the Publisher ID is what picks the account. Double-check it if you manage more than one.
Step 1 — Generate your API token
- Sign in to the Awin dashboard at ui.awin.com.
- Open the user menu (top right) → API Credentials (direct link: ui.awin.com/awin-api).
- Confirm your identity by entering your account password.
- Choose Show my API token and copy it into ChaffChing's API Token (OAuth2) field.
Awin asks for your password every time you reveal the token — that's expected. You can also revoke the token from the same page if it's ever exposed.
Step 2 — Find your Publisher ID
- Your Publisher ID is your Awin account number — a short numeric ID shown in your account/profile area and embedded in the dashboard URL.
- Paste it into ChaffChing's Publisher ID field.
Not sure which number it is? Awin's help article Where can I find my Publisher ID? walks through it.
Troubleshooting
Connected, but no sales (or the wrong account's sales)
With Awin the token is valid across all your accounts, so a wrong Publisher ID silently points at a different — or empty — account. Re-check the ID, then run Re-sync history from the ⋯ menu.
"Could not authenticate"
The token was truncated or has been revoked. Reveal a fresh token (Step 1) and paste the whole string.
