Overview

Referral tracking uses a 30-day cookie (vanta_ref) set when someone visits with your ?ref= code. The last referred click before checkout usually receives attribution if the cookie is intact.

What you should check

  1. 1Ensure visitors use your full referral URL with the ref parameter.
  2. 2Know the cookie lasts 30 days — late purchases within that window can still attribute.
  3. 3Ad blockers and strict privacy modes can prevent cookie storage and break tracking.
  4. 4Compare click count vs successful referrals on your dashboard to spot tracking issues.
  5. 5Contact support if a verified referred order did not attribute with invoice ID.

What not to do
