About Enhanced Conversions for Affiliate Marketers

Enhanced Conversions require customer data not provided by most affiliate networks. If your network does send this data, AnyTrack will forward it to Google Ads, where you can then activate Enhanced Conversions. However, this is not a common scenario in affiliate marketing, and Enhanced Conversions should be disabled if this data is not available.
