Testing Your Tracking

Ten minutes of testing before launch saves you an awkward conversation with a creator later. This walk-through follows one click from a creator's link to a credited order, so you know every piece is connected.

1. A shopper taps the creator's tracked link.
2. Spark! records the click and sends the shopper to your store with a czzn value added to the address.
3. The Chargezen Affiliates app embed in your theme saves that value in the browser and adds it to the shopper's cart.
4. When the order is placed, Spark! reads it from the order, checks it's within your attribution window, and credits the creator.

If any step is missing, the order isn't credited. The test below checks each one.

No czzn in the address

The link may be a draft or archived, scheduled for later, expired or past its click limit. A password-protected link asks for the password first. Open it from the creator's partner page and check its settings, and check the link's destination is a page on your store.

No fingerprint_id in the cart

The Chargezen Affiliates app embed is off, or it's on in a theme that isn't published. Turn it on in your live theme.

You bought in a different browser

The click is saved in the browser that tapped the link. Clicking on your phone and ordering on your laptop won't be credited.

You only used the discount code

A code with no click isn't credited. See Discount codes.

You created the order in Shopify admin

Draft orders don't go through your store's cart, so they carry no click.
