    The design of the Rakuten affiliate dashboard makes this a little screwy.

    Did you get your affiliate ID correctly? Or is it the Merchant ID?

    In my case I have these merchant ID’s, and enter them in the box this way:

    @reikiman I had no problem getting the affiliate ID. It was the merchant IDs I got confused on. But it looks like I got it now…

    Turns out that the merchant ID’s are available simply by hovering over the merchant description.

    Question for you: Will it help to include this sample config in the help text of the plugin?

    “Turns out that the merchant ID’s are available simply by hovering over the merchant description.“

    So I just found out as I was doing it…

    “Question for you: Will it help to include this sample config in the help text of the plugin?“

    I think that will be best. That way, nobody’s confused.

    Thank you for your help. I just updated the internal documentation, and also tested on WP 4.4
