Statistics and payouts

Performance tab

The statistics for each program are located in the Performance tab.

Statistics are displayed in the form of a diagram and a table.

The Table contains the following data:

  • Impressions — the number of times your affiliate widgets and banners were displayed to the audience. 
  • Clicks — the number of times your audience clicked on affiliate links or other tools placed on your channels. Only clicks on affiliate links and banners are displayed in this column. As for widgets, only impressions and bookings are counted.
  • Pending — the number of bookings that are processed by the brands.
  • Canceled — the number of bookings canceled by brands. Among possible causes are booking cancellation by travelers, program rules violation, or fraud.
  • Confirmed — the number of bookings confirmed by brands. You’ll receive earnings for these bookings with one of your next payouts.
  • ECPC — the average earnings from one click.
  • Earnings — the rewards you earned for bookings via your affiliate tools. This is what goes towards your balance and payouts.
  • Potential earnings— the earnings you will receive from pending bookings if brands confirm them.

To view summary statistics for all programs you're connected to, go to the Reports section in the main menu and make sure that grouping by program is applied.

Payouts

Earnings from bookings made using affiliate tools placed on your channels are credited to your account in the affiliate program and are automatically paid along with the basic payment according to this schedule.

How long is the customer assigned to the affiliate?

The user is assigned to the partner up to 30 days after clicking the link with the partner ID. The number of days is different for each program and it is called cookie lifetime. You can find information about cookie lifetime in the program's description.

It should be noted that if a user is assigned to one partner and follows the link of another, then they will be reassigned to the second partner.
