¶ Hosted Endpoint
The beginning URL for all RevCent hosted solutions is https://securehost.revcent.com/
The hosted endpoint is the initial path after the url. Example: https://securehost.revcent.com/hosted_endpoint_id/
The secondary path, after the endpoint path, can be either a hosted page or hosted link.

¶ Customer Accounts
When editing a hosted endpoint you have the option to enable customer accounts for the endpoint. Customer accounts are useful when you wish to give customers the ability to view their sales, renewals, update payment methods and more.
¶ URLs
If customer accounts is enabled, RevCent automatically creates the login, register and account pages for your customers to visit. These URLs are static and the HTML of each page cannot be modified.
¶ Login URL
The url for your customers to login. A customer must first register an account using the Register URL before being able to login.
¶ Register URL
The url for customer registration. A customer is required to enter an email associated with previous purchases within your account. If an email is matched, the customer will receive a verification code to complete registration.
¶ Account URL
The URL for the customer to view their account. Customers can view their sales, track shipments, view subscription renewals and more.
¶ Item Filters
Item filters are useful when you are running multiple businesses and wish for cross business customers to only see entities for a particular business. We have three item filters to help you narrow down a particular business.
Only sales, renewals, shipping, etc. related to selected filters below will be displayed for customers that register an account with this specific endpoint. Useful when separating businesses or purchase of specific items by endpoints.
¶ Campaign Filter

¶ URL Param To Cookie
You can specify URL parameters to be automatically pulled from the URL of any page attached to the endpoint. The URL parameter value will be added with the Cookie Name as a browser cookie for any visitor to a Hosted Page.
Note: RevCent's Track.js is automatically included in all hosted pages.
¶ URL Param
The URL parameter to search for in the URL.
¶ Cookie Name
If the URL parameter is present and a value is provided, this is the cookie name assigned to the value.
¶ Days
The number of days to save the cookie.
¶ Default Value
Advanced use. If you wish to assign a default value instead of retrieving the actual value. This is useful when instead of searching the URL for a parameter, you would like to have a cookie automatically created with a fixed value as if the parameter existed.
¶ Example
Example Settings: We will use the settings from the image above with URL Param: affiliate_id and Cookie Name: affiliate
Example URL: https://securehost.revcent.com/MyCompanyName/MyPage?affiliate_id=12345
- You specify affiliate_id as the URL Param in the settings and affiliate as the Cookie Name.
- The affiliate_id parameter is found in the Example URL with 12345 as the value.
- A cookie is automatically created for the visitor to the page, and the cookie name of affiliate is assigned a cookie value of 12345.
- The cookie persists across all RevCent hosted pages and independent domains with Track.js installed.
- If a sale is made using a hosted page, or independent domain, the sale will have an attached metadata of affiliate:12345
Remember: You can add multiple URL params to the list. So you can have a url with parameters ?affiliate_id=12345&button_id=888 to save both affiliate_id and button_id values.
