FAQ & Troubleshooting

FAQ was last reviewed on 2026-06-10

What happens if the click ID is missing from the conversion?

Without a click ID, AnyTrack cannot attribute the conversion to the original traffic source. Ensure the click_id parameter is appended to all Transparent Ads affiliate links.

How long does it take for conversions to appear in AnyTrack?

Conversions typically appear in your AnyTrack dashboard within minutes of being tracked. Check the attribution delays guide for platform-specific timing.

Can I track different commission types (CPA, percentage, hybrid)?

Yes. Map the conversion value to the actual commission amount earned, regardless of the commission structure. AnyTrack records each conversion's value for accurate ROI calculation.

Do I need to use AutoTag or can I configure links manually?

You can use either method. AutoTag automatically appends click IDs to Transparent Ads links, while manual configuration gives you more control over parameter placement.
