Rakuten Linkshare module

This guide will help you configure the Rakuten LinkShare module in the Content Egg plugin.

You can also use the Feed module to import Rakuten product feeds, as an alternative to the Rakuten API module.

Getting Your SID

1. Register or Log In: Go to rakutenadvertising.com and sign up, or log in with your existing publisher account.

2. Find Your SID: After logging in, navigate to your Rakuten Publisher Dashboard. Your SID is a numerical value listed as your account ID.

Getting Your Client ID and Client Secret

1. Go to the Developer Portal: Visit developers.rakutenadvertising.com and log in using your Rakuten credentials.

2. Create a New Application:

   • Click on the “Add Application” button.

   • Enter a name for your app (you can use any name).

   • Complete the form and submit it to create the application.

3. Copy Your Credentials: Once your app is created, you’ll be shown a Client ID and Client Secret. Copy both and paste them into the Rakuten LinkShare module settings in Content Egg.

Important Notes

The Rakuten API will only return product results if your advertisers have product feeds uploaded into the Rakuten database. Make sure the advertisers you are approved for have active product feeds.
