I am starting an ad campaign that's a banner ad campaign and it's being run through the banner campaign part of PriceGrabber which is called P3.

The issue is I want to be able to track how many sales I'm making through banner ads. In order to do this I need to insert tracking code into the order confirmation page. I have already inserted it into a file that's part of CRE Loaded 6.4 that is the order confirmation file. That way when a sale is completed it notifies PriceGrabber. We already have the regular tracking code inserted there that PriceGrabber uses for their standard system so we can tell how many sales we're making off of our clicks. That is installed and appears to be working correctly so I don't think we need help there.

Here is the issue. As part of this tracking code I need to have a unique/random number inserted into part of the code. Now without this being done I will still be able to run my campaign but the issue is I can't find out how many clicks are converting to sales. I was told I can input a static number in the field and it may still work but the idea of a random number is it decreases the chances of errors such as two different sales on my website being shown on PriceGrabber's side as one sale.

They are asking for an OrderID and I believe I can use any number. It does not have to be the actual order number but the order number would be a good one. The code is below and also the instructions. What can I put in place of OrderID in those brackets that will pull a number in from my website?

Here is the code:

2. In order to defeat caching and ensure accurate counts, it is required that a number be inserted into the ord= key-value of the tag. This value cannot contain semicolons or special characters and should be random.

Thank you for your help with the above.

I left this out but I don't necessarily have to use the Order number. I can use any number that's a random number.
