Troubleshooting
My test conversion isn't appearing in impact.com
If your test conversion isn't appearing, check the following:
You accessed your SHOPLINE store using the test partner tracking link in Step 5. If you don't use this link, the conversion won't be credited to your test partner and may not appear.
You've waited at least 30 minutes since the test conversion occurred in your SHOPLINE store. Conversion reporting can take up to 2-4 hours during peak times — consider checking back later in a few hours.
Your Event Type ID in SHOPLINE exactly matches the Event Type ID in impact.com.
You can use the OrderId (OID) Lookup tool to search for the SHOPLINE Order ID of the test order.
Modifications & reversals
Important: Always make sure to modify and/or reverse orders in SHOPLINE first, then check it was modified/reversed in impact.com. Actions you modify or reverse in impact.com will not be sent to SHOPLINE.
Uninstall the plugin
Navigate to the impact.com Affiliate Marketing plugin on your apps list.
