Inaccurate Sales Tracking in Affiliate Programs

[Aditya46]

Have you ever experienced issues with inaccurate sales tracking in affiliate programs? This can be a major problem as it may result in lost commissions that should have been earned. Some factors that can cause this inaccuracy include:

1. Cookie Expiry: Have you ever felt that the cookie used for tracking expired too quickly, causing lost commissions?
2. Errors in Tracking URL: Have you had experiences where an incorrect or improperly applied tracking URL affected your earnings?
3. Order Cancellations or Returns: How do you handle situations when transactions are canceled or items are returned after you’ve successfully made a sale?
4. Issues with Tracking Platforms: Have you ever encountered problems with tracking platforms that resulted in missing or duplicate transactions?

Neglecting Tracking Processes by the Merchant: How much do you pay attention to how merchants manage tracking across different platforms (e.g., mobile apps)?
What steps do you think can be taken to minimize these tracking issues? Do you have any tips or personal experiences to share?

First of all without the actual server logs of all parties downstream to you referral target --you cannot know for certain.

This is the way to do it and not by suspicion, intuitively, or some other speculation. But you are a mushroom in the food chain they just feed you shit and hope you grow.

Do You have any hard data other than your own funnel to work with? NO
