Account SID + Auth Token · Updated June 18, 2026

impact.com authenticates with an Account SID (your API username) and an Auth Token, created together inside your account settings. ChaffChing reads your actions/commissions only — your keys stay in your device Keychain.

ChaffChing asks for

Account SID
Auth Token

Heads up — legacy tokens are being phased out. The Account SID + Auth Token pair is impact.com's legacy credential. From July 1, 2026, impact.com stops letting you copy legacy Read/Write and Read-Only tokens. Existing connections keep working, but if you're setting up after that date and can't reveal a token, generate one before the cutoff or contact impact.com about scoped tokens.

Before you start

You need an active, approved impact.com partner account you can sign in to.
If you manage several brands, each account has its own SID — make sure you copy the credentials for the account whose sales you want in ChaffChing.

Step 1 — Open the API settings

Sign in at app.impact.com.
Open your profile menu (top right) → Settings.
In the Technical column, choose API.

Open impact.com ↗

Step 2 — Copy your Account SID & Auth Token

On the API page, select Enable Legacy Tokens if the SID/Token aren't already shown (new accounts hide them by default).
Open the API Credentials card. You'll see the Account SID plus the Auth Token for the Read/Write and Read-Only tokens.
Copy the Account SID and an Auth Token (Read-Only is enough for ChaffChing) into the matching fields.

The Account SID is the same value impact.com uses in API paths like /Mediapartners/{AccountSID}/. If you ever need a modern scoped token instead, the same API page has Create Access Token in the upper right.

Troubleshooting

I can't see an Account SID or Auth Token

Click Enable Legacy Tokens on the API page. If the option is gone, your account is past the legacy cutoff — reach out to impact.com support about API access.

"Could not authenticate"

You likely copied the SID/Token from the wrong account, or the Auth Token was reset. Re-open Settings → Technical → API for the correct account and copy both values again.
