​
Setting Up a Campaign

Setting up a campaign with FirstPromoter is seamless and can be done in just a few clicks. During the onboarding process, you will create your first campaign. Each campaign generates a unique signup link that can be shared with your affiliates. When they sign up, FirstPromoter creates a unique referral link using the website URL you provide. Affiliates can then share their referral link with potential customers.

​
Click Tracking

Click tracking on FirstPromoter works after adding the main tracking script to your website. It works only once when a user visits a referral link by sending a click event to FirstPromoter.

​
Referral Tracking

Referral tracking occurs when a lead is captured on your website and sent to FirstPromoter after they sign up or fill out a form. This is achieved via the referral tracking script or API, which requires you to send the referral email address or UID to FirstPromoter. When a lead visits with a referral link, two cookies, _fprom_tid and _fprom_refare set in their browser. These cookies have a default lifespan of 60 days (adjustable in the Admin panel) and are essential for the referral tracking script to function.

​
Sales Tracking

Sales tracking is crucial for calculating commissions for affiliates. By default, FirstPromoter automatically tracks sales from providers like Stripe,Chargebee,Braintree (subscriptions),Recurly, Paddle by listening to and cross-referencing events sent from the billing provider. For other billing providers or custom setups, we provide an API to send sales events to FirstPromoter.
