Affiliate Link goes invalid

[Foerd]

Im sure there have to be a solution for my problem but i didnt found it yet. The problem is:

somebody visits my homepage via affiliate link – but as soon as the user continues to an other side the affilatelink disappears. Means if they click around for a bit before they buye or choose an other product the link looses it’s attached sign for the affiliates and they won’t get paid.

Hope you can help me. thanks so far 😉

Hi, do you have a cache plugin running in your site? I am wondering if this might be the cause of your issue.

@Foerd, Are you saying that the “wpam_id” parameter disappears from the URL when the user goes to another page on your site?

Yes I’m running autoptimize vor caching. I tried again with deactivated cashing pluginn. still same issue

yes, thats exactly it.

@foerd, That’s normal. The cookie gets tracked as soon as the user lands on your site via an affiliate link. So it doesn’t matter if they go to a different page afterward. As long as they purchase something within the cookie validity period, the affiliate will be rewarded a commission for it.

Thanks for your help, It works. I just failed in testing it correctly. Sorry for that.
