Attribute partners. Settle externally.

Attach a private affiliate program to a LinkCode, issue unique partner links, report conversions, calculate immutable commissions and record settlements completed outside LinkCode.

What LinkCode does — and does not do

LinkCode provides attribution, commission calculation, reporting and an external settlement register. It never holds, sends or transfers funds.

✓One private program attaches to an existing LinkCode.
✓Affiliates are partner identities, never workspace members.
✓Every partner receives a non-sequential via token.
✓Commission snapshots never change when a future rule changes.
✓Ledger entries are append-only; reversals create a new entry.

Click attribution

The resolver validates the program, affiliate and link. Eligible human clicks receive a UUID click_id. LinkCode appends only lc_click_id to the selected destination and preserves existing query parameters.

✓Bots and previews stay visible in analytics but are ineligible for commission.
✓No private profile data is added to the destination URL.
✓Codes without an affiliate program keep their current resolution behavior.
✓click_id is explicit financial attribution; visitor hashes are analytics signals only.

GET/pixel/v1.jsControlled rollout

The dependency-free script reads lc_click_id, stores it first-party for the attribution window, can clean the visible URL and exposes window.LinkCode.track and window.LinkCode.conversion.

PropertyTypeDescription

eventstringrequired

Configured rewarded event, such as purchase.

orderIdstringrequired

Durable merchant-side ID used for deduplication.

amountMinorintegerrequired

Financial amount in currency minor units. Never a floating-point value.

currencyISO 4217required

Three-letter uppercase currency.

testboolean

Test events never generate real statistics or commission.

window.LinkCode?.conversion({
  event: "purchase",
  orderId: "ORDER-123",
  amountMinor: 14900,
  currency: "CAD",
  test: false
});

Consent, storage and CSP

When data-consent="required", the pixel waits until window.LinkCodeConsent is true or window.LinkCode.setConsent(true) is called. Do not load or activate tracking before consent where applicable.

✓lc_click_id may be stored in localStorage and a SameSite=Lax Secure first-party cookie.
✓No complete IP or raw customer email is collected by the conversion API.
✓Use a merchant-side customer hash only if a future approved integration requires one.
✓Configure retention per program and document the merchant's own privacy notice.

Conversion source and trust levels

Trust describes how the event arrived. Financial status separately describes whether commission is payable, included in a settlement or marked settled externally.

PropertyTypeDescription

browser_reportedunverified

Client-side signal. Pending by default and never payment proof.

server_reportedmerchant_asserted

Authenticated merchant server assertion.

provider_verifiedprovider_verified

Verified payment-provider integration event.

manually_importedmanual

Owner-imported record with an audit trail.

Attribution and anti-fraud

Explicit click_id takes priority by default, with promotion code as fallback. Attribution must be inside the program window and tied to an active human-eligible click.

✓No probabilistic or fingerprint-based financial attribution.
✓Flags include duplicate order, bot click, missing/expired attribution, unusual amount, rapid repeat, suspected self-referral, country mismatch, refund rate, invalid signature, timestamp replay and test event.
✓A probabilistic signal creates review context; it never proves fraud on its own.
✓First-click and last-click policies are program-level and auditable.

External settlement lifecycle

Owners select available ledger entries for one program, affiliate and currency. LinkCode locks them into a draft, records each transition and exports an auditable CSV; it does not execute the payment.

✓draft → ready → marked paid requires an external method and reference.
✓draft, ready or disputed records can be voided; their ledger entries become available again without deleting history.
✓Marked-paid settlements are terminal. A later correction uses an explicit adjustment, never a rewritten ledger row.
✓CSV exports use integer minor units and neutralize spreadsheet-formula prefixes.
