Someone, with who I will have an affiliate link partnership, has put a link to my e-shop: http://www.example.com/?source=userA
. I'd like to track my sales that happen thanks to his link.
What happens if someone:
- comes to my website thanks to the affiliate link, with his phone (mobile data IP)
- buys my product a few hours later, but with his computer (home internet IP) ; let's say he came to my website, directly by writing the URL that he remembered from his first visit
Then this purchase won't be tracked as a "purchase made thanks to the affiliate link". This is not fair for my affiliate partner!
Is there a solution for this well-known problem?
