Rakuten
Affiliate conversion tracking for Rakuten Advertising.
Datafly Signal delivers first-party events to Rakuten server-to-server from infrastructure you control, using a pre-built blueprint that maps your event schema to the payload Rakuten expects.
Why route Rakuten through Datafly Signal
Conversions survive ad blockers and tracking prevention
A browser tag served from an advertising domain is blocked outright for part of your traffic, and Safari's ITP shortens the cookies it can set. Signal sends the event from your own server, so the conversions Rakuten optimises against are not filtered by the browser.
Client IP and user agent are carried in the payload
Both are taken from the original visitor request rather than your server, which is what Rakuten needs to attribute the event to the right session.
One consent decision governs every destination
Rakuten is gated by the same consent state as the rest of your stack, so a withdrawal applies everywhere at once.
What ships in the blueprint
Mapped events
purchaseVertical presets
Retail. Each preset starts from a working configuration for that vertical rather than a blank field map.
Full field mappings, configuration fields, and troubleshooting are in the Rakuten documentation.
Frequently asked questions
Does Datafly Signal integrate with Rakuten?
Yes. Datafly Signal delivers first-party events to Rakuten server-to-server from infrastructure you control, using a pre-built blueprint that maps your event schema to the payload Rakuten expects. The integration is included in every deployment at no additional cost.
How is server-side Rakuten tracking different from the Rakuten tag?
The Rakuten tag runs in the visitor's browser, so it is subject to ad blockers, tracking prevention, and page-unload races. Signal collects the event through a first-party endpoint on your own domain and delivers it to Rakuten from your server, so delivery does not depend on browser conditions.
Which events can Signal send to Rakuten?
The blueprint ships with mappings for purchase. Any event in your schema can be mapped to Rakuten through pipeline configuration without a code change.
Do I need to keep the Rakuten tag on my site?
No. Server-side delivery is designed to replace the tag. Most teams run both briefly during migration, using shared event IDs so Rakuten deduplicates, then remove the tag once server-side volume matches.
