What gets imported
The connector imports transaction and performance data at daily granularity in the Awin account currency, covering clicks, transactions, and commission across pending, approved, and declined states, with breakdowns such as advertiser, publisher, region, and product. For the complete list of metrics, breakdowns, refresh cadence, and limits, see the Awin data reference.Troubleshooting
API token rejected
API token rejected
Awin tokens can be regenerated from the API portal. If validation fails, regenerate the token and confirm it has access to the advertiser or publisher account being connected.
Commission values change after the fact
Commission values change after the fact
Awin transactions move through pending, approved, and declined states. Earlier values may update as advertisers validate transactions. This reflects expected Awin behavior rather than an import issue.
