What is the New Orders Data File?

The New Orders Data File is a batch-based method for submitting affiliate order data to CJ on a scheduled basis. Upload a CSV file containing your order records and CJ will process and attribute them to the correct publishers.

This is one of three methods in CJ's Data Import System, which also supports restatements and cancellations.

Why Use the Data File Import?

Batch Submission

Upload thousands of orders at once on a scheduled basis — purpose-built for advertisers with established order pipelines, delayed confirmation workflows, or back-office reconciliation processes.

Concurrent Tracking

Run the Data File Import alongside the Universal Tag or GraphQL API to provide redundant coverage and reconcile transactions without disrupting your existing tracking setup.

Situational Commissioning

Pass item-level SKU, price, and quantity data to power dynamic, rules-based commission structures and enable granular publisher payouts across your product catalog.

Open-Ended Lifecycle

Pair with other tracking methods to finalize pending Travel transactions — accepting or declining bookings once stay dates conclude and commissions become eligible for payout.
