Troubleshooting

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.

A 200 response means Stripe reached LinkJolt and the webhook itself is wired correctly. The gap is upstream: the checkout is not carrying the affiliate reference.

What is happening

LinkJolt attributes a Stripe sale from the tracking reference on the Checkout Session, or from a registered coupon. If a checkout completes with neither, there is nothing to credit, so no conversion is recorded. Everything looks healthy on Stripe's side, but affiliates go uncredited.

How to fix it

  1. Confirm the LinkJolt tracking script is installed on the page where customers begin checkout, so a click is stored and passed to Stripe Checkout as the client reference id.
  2. If you create Checkout Sessions yourself in code, set client_reference_id to the visitor's LinkJolt reference.
  3. For coupon based sales, make sure the affiliate's code is registered in LinkJolt.

LinkJolt watches for exactly this pattern (affiliate clicks happening and Stripe checkouts completing, but arriving with no tracking reference) and flags it in your dashboard so you can fix the setup.

If checkouts are carrying a reference and conversions still do not appear, contact support with a recent order id.

Which payment platforms does LinkJolt support for tracking?

LinkJolt tracks conversions from Stripe, Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, Gumroad, GoPay, Apple In-App Purchases, and WooCommerce. You keep your own processor account and LinkJolt records sales through its webhooks.

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.

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.

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.
