With our Clickbank integration, you can sync your Clickbank product buyers' email addresses to ConvertKit and add specific Tags to them.

The integration works by placing a PHP script on your server. To configure it, you will need to access your Clickbank vendor settings, edit a PHP script (or several, if you have multiple Clickbank accounts), and then add this script to your site via FTP.

INS stands for Instant Notification Service. If you have already enabled this for a previous integration, you can replace your previous integration (if it was for another email service) or add a second INS URL. You can have up to two.

To set your INS settings, go to Accounts in the Clickbank dashboard's left sidebar and click your sales account nickname.

Select Vendor Settings > My Site at the top of the page that opens in a new tab:

Scroll down to the Advanced Tools section and click Edit.

Then, enter a secret key and save your changes. The secret key can be any string of numbers or letters. It just has to match what you put in your PHP script later.

The next step is to set your Instant Notification URL. Click request access to request access to this setting if needed.

Once you have access, you'll be able to fill out your URL:

This URL will be your script's destination on your server. We recommend creating a "Clickbank" folder first and then adding all Clickbank scripts there. If you do that, your URL will look like this: http://yoursite.com/clickbank/clickbank-hook.php

Leave the version set to 6.0, and don't click Test IPN yet. Save your changes.

Download the PHP script using the relevant link:

We'll be editing the following values in the script:

Open the script in a text editor, making sure to edit it in plain text mode. Editing it in rich text mode can add curly quotes that will break the script.

Replace your-convertkit-api-key in the script with your ConvertKit API Key. Be careful not to delete the quotes surrounding your-convertkit-api-key.

To find your API Key, click your account name at the top right of the navigation in ConvertKit, followed by Settings.

On the lefthand navigation, you'll see the Developers tab. Click it to copy your V3 API Key.

Now, you'll map your Clickbank product IDs to ConvertKit Tag IDs.

Here's how to find your Clickbank product's ID:

Your product's ID corresponds to its Item Number.

If you haven't created your ConvertKit Tags already, do this first. Then, get their Tag ID:

Click your Tag in ConvertKit and look for the number after subscribable_ids= in your browser's address bar:

This number is the ConvertKit Tag's ID.

Now, go back to your script and:

Feel free to duplicate the lines if you need to map more than three Clickbank products to ConvertKit Tags, or delete unnecessary lines if you're mapping fewer than three products.

You will also need to replace tag-to-use-if-product-is-not-in-list with the ID for a default Tag that will be mapped to products that haven't been mapped to any ConvertKit Tag IDs. The default Tag can be a new Tag or one of the same Tags you're using for other products.

This part of your script should look something like this:

Finally, replace your-clickbank-username with your Clickbank sales account nickname and your-clickbank-INS-key with the secret key you set up when configuring your INS earlier.

Save the changes to your script.

This step requires that you use FTP to add the script to your server.

We recommend creating a "Clickbank" folder in your server to keep all your Clickbank scripts together. This is especially true if you have multiple Clickbank accounts.

Use your preferred FTP application to upload the script to your server. The script's destination should be the same as the URL you provided in your INS settings in step 1.

Once you've uploaded your script, this integration is live and will work right away!

The best way to ensure everything is working is to do a test purchase.

Clickbank lets you create a test credit card number for the purchase. To do this, go to Accounts in the Clickbank dashboard's left sidebar and click your sales account.

Then, select Vendor Settings > My Site at the top of the page that opens in a new tab.

Scroll down to the Testing Your Products section and click Edit to generate a test credit card number.

Once you've generated a test credit card number, open a new browser tab and type the direct link to purchase your Clickbank product.

The link's structure is [product ID].[your Clickbank sales account nickname].pay.clickbank.net. For example, 1.nbarry.pay.clickbank.net.

Purchase your product using the test credit card number and your email address.

After that, check whether your email address has been added to your ConvertKit account and tagged with the right Tag for your product.
