An affiliate can drive the first visit and still lose the commission. With last touch attribution, the affiliate who sends the final eligible referral before conversion receives the credit. That rule is simple on paper. It becomes harder when you add cookie windows, coupon codes, Stripe subscriptions, refund events, and users switching devices. Rewardful can
A referral program can pay the wrong partner even when your checkout works perfectly. The problem is usually the attribution rule, not the commission rate. Rewardful attribution decides who owns the customer when more than one affiliate sends that person to your site. Last-touch attribution gives credit to the most recent eligible affiliate link before
Affiliate tracking breaks when the referral is not present at checkout. The visitor clicked. Your affiliate sent qualified traffic. The commission still disappears.

The setup is simple when your marketing site, app, and payment flow share one domain.
Affiliate credit disputes usually start before a customer pays. One partner introduces the product. Another shares a coupon later. Your first touch attribution rule decides who earns the commission. Rewardful lets you set that rule at the campaign level. The change takes minutes, but you should test the full referral path before you announce it
A referral link can receive real clicks and still produce no usable commission record. The break usually happens between the landing page, the browser cookie, and your checkout flow. Rewardful cookie tracking stores an affiliate referral after a visitor arrives through a tracked link. If that visitor signs up within your campaign window, Rewardful can
A referral program stalls when partners can’t find the right banner, message, or product screenshot. They either publish old material or publish nothing. A referral asset library gives every approved affiliate one place to get current assets, campaign guidance, disclosures, and tracked links. Rewardful handles campaign tracking and commissions.
