What is the Demo Connection?

The Demo connection is a built-in testing environment that comes pre-loaded with realistic sample affiliate data. It lets you explore AffZero’s full feature set — building automations, testing variables, sending emails — without needing access to a real tracking platform. The Demo connection does not count toward your connection limit.

What Data Does It Include?

The Demo connection returns a realistic dataset including:
  • A set of sample affiliates with names, clicks, conversions, revenue, and payouts
  • Offer-level data
  • Date-range-based breakdowns
The data is static (it doesn’t change day to day), but it’s structured exactly like real tracker data, so anything you build with it will work the same way with a live connection.

How to Add the Demo Connection

  1. Go to Connections in the left sidebar
  2. Click Add Connection
  3. Select Demo from the platform list
  4. Enter any name you like (e.g. Demo)
  5. Click Save
No API key or base URL is required.

When to Use the Demo Connection

Learning the platform

Build your first automation and understand how variables work without touching real data.

Testing email templates

Make sure variable substitution and formatting look right before sending real emails.

Showing the platform to teammates

Demo the automation builder without exposing live affiliate data.

Building invoice templates

Test invoice generation and variable mapping with predictable sample data.

When you’re ready to work with real data, add a live connection to Affise, CAKE, or Binom. Your automations can then be updated to use the new connection with a few clicks.
