Troubleshooting
A sale is missing from my dashboard. What do I check?

My sales suddenly stopped being tracked
My team member cannot sign in or is stuck choosing a role. How do I fix it?
Why is an affiliate conversion not showing up?
Why is my coupon code not tracking sales?
Why is my dashboard showing the wrong currency?
Make sure the script is in your site head and loads on every page, including where checkout begins. Some website builders only inject custom scripts on certain pages or defer them, which stops LinkJolt from storing the affiliate reference.
The tracking script has to load on every page a visitor might land on, including your checkout entry point. If it only loads on some pages, clicks that land elsewhere are missed.
?tc=TEST&aff=TEST on the URL, open the browser console, and type window.linkjolt. If it is undefined, the script is not loading there.Your exact snippet is in the Integration Hub in your dashboard. Coupon code attribution needs no script at all, so it is a reliable fallback on locked-down builders.
Is My Affiliate Tracking Working? How to Check in a Minute (1:40)
Plumquote is a demo account made for this tutorial.
Watch on YouTubeYou've added the LinkJolt tracking script to your site. Here's how to check it works in about a minute, before a real affiliate sends you a customer.
In LinkJolt, open Integrations, and on your payment tab, scroll down to Check it works. It's worth doing once, right after setup.
The first step gives you a test link: your own site, with a test affiliate added to the address. Copy it.
Open it in your browser. The page looks the same, but the script is reading the test affiliate from the address.
To see it, open your browser's console on that page. First, check that the script loaded.
True. Next, ask for the referral: the string your checkout passes to Stripe.
It reads tc_test123_aff_test456. That's the test affiliate. A real affiliate link gives the same shape, with their own codes.
Back in LinkJolt, reload the page. The tracking script now shows as detected, on your site.
If something's off, open Still not showing up. window.linkjolt is undefined means the script isn't on the page: check that it sits in your head.
Referral is null means the visitor didn't arrive through an affiliate link. Try the test link again.
And a purchase made in Stripe test mode is recorded as a test sale, under Test sales on Commissions, apart from your live ones.
Then make one real purchase through an affiliate's link, and you'll see it on Commissions. Try LinkJolt free for seven days at linkjolt.io.
How long does an affiliate stay credited after someone clicks their link?
30 days. A click stores that affiliate's details in the visitor's browser for 30 days, and a purchase made in that period is credited to them. The window is fixed: there is no setting to change it per campaign or per plan.
Where do I put the script when my landing page and checkout are on different platforms?
Put the script on every page a visitor sees before they pay, starting with the landing page. It only rewrites Stripe Payment Link, Polar checkout, Gumroad and Lemon Squeezy links for you, so for any other jump to a different domain you have to carry the tc, aff and cid parameters across yourself.
How do I install the LinkJolt tracking script?
Copy the one line script tag from the Integration Hub in your dashboard and paste it into the head of every page a visitor can land on. Copy it rather than typing it, because the tag carries your own merchant ID and a wrong ID never raises an error.
An affiliate's coupon code is not being attributed. What should I check?
Confirm the exact code is registered against the affiliate, that you filled in the ID field your processor actually sends, and that the affiliate is not rejected or suspended. Stripe promotion codes need their promo_ ID.
