Tracking & Analytics
Accurate affiliate tracking with direct link tracking (no referral URL needed), cookie-based attribution, first/last-click models, cross-subdomain support, campaign tracking, visit logging, and standalone conversion shortcodes for any checkout system.
Complete Tracking System
Royal Affiliate Pro gives you everything you need to track referrals accurately — from direct link tracking without referral URLs, to cookie management, cross-subdomain support, and standalone conversion tracking for any checkout flow.
Direct Link Tracking NEW
Affiliates share their own domain URL — no ?ref= parameter needed. Royal Affiliate Pro matches the visitor's HTTP Referer header against the affiliate's registered promotion domain and attributes the referral automatically.
Cookie-Based Tracking
Reliable referral tracking with customizable cookie duration (default 30 days). First-click and last-click attribution models. Cookie clearing after conversion option.
Cross-Subdomain Support
Share tracking cookies across subdomains. If your shop is on shop.example.com and blog is on blog.example.com, referral links work across both.
Campaign Tracking
Tag referral links with campaign slugs (?campaign=spring-sale). Track which campaigns drive the most conversions. Campaign-specific commission rates.
Visit Logging
Every click is logged with URL, referrer, IP, and timestamp. See exactly where traffic comes from and which pages affiliates drive visitors to.
Standalone Conversions
Track conversions on any page with [rafp_conversion]. Works with Stripe Checkout, PayPal, ThriveCart, Gumroad, SamCart — any checkout that redirects to a thank-you page.
Excluded Pages
Block tracking on specific URLs with pattern matching and regex support. Prevent commissions on support pages, documentation, or internal tools.
How Tracking Works
From click to conversion in four simple steps. Royal Affiliate Pro handles attribution automatically so you never miss a referral.
Visitor Clicks a Referral Link
A visitor clicks an affiliate's referral link containing their unique code, such as ?ref=affiliate_code.
Tracking Cookie Is Set
A tracking cookie is set with the affiliate ID and campaign (if any). The cookie persists for the configured duration — 30 days by default.
Visitor Browses Your Site
The visitor browses your site freely. The cookie persists across sessions and pages, tracking their journey from landing to checkout.
Referral Created on Conversion
On purchase or conversion, the cookie is read and a referral is created automatically. The affiliate gets credited with the sale.
Reliable, Accurate Attribution
Royal Affiliate Pro tracking is built for accuracy and flexibility, giving you complete control over how referrals are attributed and conversions are recorded.
Whether you use WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, MemberPress, or an external checkout like Stripe or ThriveCart, Royal Affiliate Pro tracks every conversion with precision.
