Why is an affiliate conversion not showing up?

The usual causes are a missing or misconfigured payment webhook, the tracking script not installed, no tracking reference reaching checkout, or a rejected affiliate. Work through these in order to find the gap.

A conversion that does not appear almost always traces back to one of a few gaps. Check them in this order.

1. Is the payment webhook connected?

LinkJolt records sales from your processor's webhook. If the webhook was never added, or its signing secret is wrong, no conversions arrive at all. Confirm the endpoint in your processor matches the URL shown in the Integration Hub.

2. Did a tracking reference reach checkout?

For link based sales, the tracking script must be installed so the reference is stored and passed to checkout. If the order has no tracking reference and no registered coupon, there is nothing to attribute.

3. Is the affiliate active on the campaign?

A rejected affiliate will not earn commissions. Confirm the affiliate is approved or pending, not rejected.

4. Are you testing through the Developer API?

Conversions created with a test-mode API key (the lj_pk_test_ prefix) are tagged as test data and kept out of your live reports on purpose. If you are validating an integration, make sure production traffic uses your live key.

If all four check out and the sale still does not appear, contact support with the order id and we will trace it.

How do I set up affiliate tracking with Stripe?

Add your LinkJolt Stripe webhook endpoint in the Stripe dashboard, then add the LinkJolt tracking script to your site. LinkJolt then records each Stripe sale and attributes it to the referring affiliate automatically.

An affiliate's coupon code is not being attributed. What should I check?

Confirm the exact code is registered in LinkJolt against the affiliate, that the code on the order matches it, and that the affiliate is not rejected on the campaign. Codes are matched by id, promotion code, then text.

My Stripe webhook shows 200 but no conversions are recorded. Why?

Almost always because your Stripe checkouts are not carrying tracking data. The webhook is connected (that is the 200), but if a checkout completes with no tracking reference and no registered coupon, there is nothing to attribute, so no conversion is created.

My team member cannot sign in or is stuck choosing a role. How do I fix it?

They need to accept their team invitation before signing in. Until the invite is accepted, their account is not linked to your merchant, so they land on the role screen with nowhere to go.
