ref code).Plain English: they do not need to re-click your link every day. If they clicked once and purchase within the cookie window, attribution can still work.

Use this quick guide when choosing Canonical, Product deep link, or Product purchase, or Campaign links and QR codes.
Canonical link / QR
Best for broad traffic when you want people to discover the full site first. Example use: profile bio, general posters, broad awareness posts.
Product deep link / QR
Best when one post, one video, or one flyer promotes one specific destination page. This avoids extra clicks and keeps conversion intent focused.
Product purchase link / QR
Best when your audience is ready to buy now and you want direct checkout for one specific product. This is the fastest path to conversion.
Campaign link / QR
Best when you want channel-level reporting (for example: youtube-launch, meetup-q2, twitter-thread-1). Campaign links add a campaign tag for cleaner performance comparison.
QR export checklist
Why do I see clicks but no sales?
Clicks show traffic. Sales appear only after a completed paid order that is attributed to your link.
Where can I change payout details?
In your affiliate dashboard under Payout Account. You can set PayPal or Stripe Connect details.
How can I track campaigns?
Use the campaign link generator in your dashboard to add campaign tags to referral URLs.
Should I use canonical, product, or campaign links?
Use canonical for broad homepage traffic, product links for one specific landing page, product purchase links for direct checkout, and campaign links when you want to compare traffic/sales by campaign name.
How should I choose the QR code target?
Canonical QR is best for general awareness. Product QR is best when print/event traffic should land on one product page. Campaign QR is best when you want that QR traffic tracked under one campaign name.
When are payouts sent?
Payouts are processed after commissions become due and your request is approved/processed.
