Full-Funnel Affiliate Attribution + First-Party Tracking

1

Future-Proof with First-Party Tracking

By relying on first-party data (not third-party cookies), you capture every conversion. And you can keep doing so even if browser and privacy rules change.

2

Maximize Conversions with Less Friction

Referral links stay on your store’s domain and send customers straight to product or checkout so you get better conversions and clearer attribution.

3

Ensure Timely and Fair Payments

Every affiliate-driven sale is correctly attributed so that you pay the right commissions and can measure campaign ROI effectively.

What is First Party Tracking?

How our first-party attribution engine works

We don’t rely on third-party cookies or redirects. Instead, we capture the click, session and sale using first-party data to give you accurate affiliate attribution in a privacy-first world.

When a customer visits your site with an affiliate link here’s what happens:

  1. Refersion records that click for the affiliate and assigns a unique cart ID that relates to the customer’s shopping session.
  2. When the customer completes a purchase, the session/cart ID is matched to the order.
  3. The converted sale is instantly attributed to the correct partner.

FAQ

Affiliate attribution is the process of assigning credit for a sale or conversion to the correct partner who generated a referral click. Accurate attribution lets you pay the right people and measure your affiliate ROI. Reliable and accurate affiliate marketing attribution is essential for brands and merchants to grow their programs.

Unlike traditional third-party cookie tracking, Refersion uses first-party data and session identifiers to match clicks to orders which improves data accuracy and leads to fewer missed conversions.

In most cases yes. However, if your checkout redirects to a different subdomain or uses an external gateway, you’ll want to check compatibility. We provide full technical guidance to ensure your cart-ID matching works seamlessly.

Most brands and merchants have affiliate programs running alongside their own digital marketing efforts. Within their affiliate partnerships they also work with different types of affiliates that meet users throughout their journey - upper funnel, mid-funnel and bottom of the funnel. Accurate attribution ensures you are paying the appropriate commissions for the appropriate stage of the partner.

Refersion's cookieless, first-party tracking provides reliable visibility into performance for traditional affiliates, content marketers, publishers, browser extensions, coupon sites and sub-networks like Skimlinks.
