Handling untracked referrals

Referrals may take 24 to 48 hours to appear in your FirstPromoter account. However, technical issues like network problems, VPNs, proxies, DNS issues, or cookie managers can disrupt tracking.

If your referral hasn’t been recorded, we can manually add it to your FirstPromoter account. To request this, fill out the manual referral form. Since this process is manual, updates may take some time to reflect in your account. You’ll be notified once our team processes your request.

Understanding attribution differences

Understanding the differences between affiliate and remix link attribution is essential for ensuring you receive proper credit for referrals.

Affiliate links

Affiliate links on Framer are formatted as follows:

https://framer.com/?via=partner-tag

These links rely on cookies, which remain active for up to 90 days and use a “first-touch” attribution model. This means the affiliate partner who first refers the customer gets credit for the referral. However, affiliate links have some limitations:

  • Users must accept the privacy policy for tracking to work.

  • Ad or tracker blockers may prevent tracking.

  • Safari only stores client-side cookies for 7 days, reducing affiliate link effectiveness.

Remix links

Remix links are formatted like this:

Unlike affiliate links, remix links don’t rely on visible clicks and ensure referral visibility directly in your FirstPromoter account. These links provide a more reliable way to track project revenue, ensuring you receive credit for conversions.
