2. Add a text field – PAPField (this is your PAP Custom field)
3. Apply the field for Orders
4. Use the form in your order page (navigate to Site manager> Module templates> Online Shop Layouts> Registration – Buy and using Toolbox> Modules> Web Forms apply the new form)

4. Add PAP Sale’s integration code into your BC panel

1. Navigate to Site Manager> Pages and click on your PAP Landing Page.
2. Use Toolbox> Modules> Web forms to insert the HTML form to your page.

You can find the PAP Custom field input there.
This is the original HTML code. The ID (CAT_CUSTOM_154728) of the HTML tags will be different in your case.
Do not forget to use CAT_CUSTOM ID that is shown in your HTML.

<td>   
<label form=”CAT_Custom_154728″>PAPfield2</label>
<input type=”hidden” maxlength=”1024″ name=”CAT_Custom_154728″ class=”cat_textbox” value=”” />
</td>

Convert it to this HTML code:

<td>
    <!--
    <label for="CAT_Custom_154728">PAPfield2</label>
    -->
    <input type="hidden" maxlength="1024" name="CAT_Custom_154728" id="CAT_Custom_154728" class="cat_textbox" value="" />

    <script id="pap_x2s6df8d" src="https://URL_TO_PostAffiliatePro/scripts/trackjs.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">PostAffTracker.setAccountId('Account_ID');
        PostAffTracker.writeCookieToCustomField('CAT_Custom_154728');
    </script>
</td>

2. Set your BC login values for BC API Login and BC API Password
3. Set your BC Catalyst Domain Name (e.g.: if your domain is: pap.businesscatalyst.com, your BC Catalyst Domain Name is “pap“), if you need secure requests insert here domain with protocol and worldsecuresystems.com e.g.: https://yourdomainname.worldsecuresystems.com
4. Set your BC Site Id – it is the one that you had to remember in in previous step 2.5.
5. Set PAP Custom Field number that you setup in the BC Panel (step no. 3.3.)

6. Add PAP Click Tracking scripts to BC’s pages

Add this code into every page in BC on which you want to track clicks.
Navigate to Site manager> Pages and edit pages from there.

<script id="pap_x2s6df8d" src="https://URL_TO_PostAffiliatePro/scripts/trackjs.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
try {
PostAffTracker.track();
} catch (err) { }
//-->
</script>

7. Create your sale’s page

When creating your sale’s page be aware of this:
Without fulfilling registration data in your CRM form the sale will not be tracked by PAP.

Before your customers make a sale they have to fill out the registration data in your CRM form. In our case it is PAP Landing Form.
Please, make your customers fill out this form before they checkout.
