Affiliate Transactions Not Working in Mobile/Some Browsers

—

We’re using Affiliate Enterprise on starfishproject.com and we’re using the Affiliates by username add-on as well. All of the plug-ins are up to date.

What seems to be happening is when going through an advocate link like www.starfishproject.com/?advocate=bterui is that after adding an item to the cart and then checking out the referral is not being recorded. This is happening on both mobile and desktop. I was able to get a transaction to go through and record a referral when using https://starfishproject.com/?advocate=509, which is the same referral above just not using the username, in Chrome.

In addition we are using a short code to show the Affiliate’s name in the header, if you follow the above link you’ll see your advocate of hope is Brittany Terui, and in Chrome this is working fine or seems to be. But if you do the same is safari it’ll show up on the homepage and then after adding something to your cart and then going to the cart it disappears so it seems something is happening and not recording the referral.

It seems no transactions are recording referrals on mobile and some on desktop.

I look forward to your reply and I appreciate your time.

All the best

It also seems like following an affiliate link on mobile is not tracking referrals in any browser.

    Thanks, Antonio.

    This has been solved.

    It was a caching issue. We added the cookie to the cache exclusion list and everything seems to be working fine now.

    I appreciate your time and effort on this.

    All the best,

    Josh

    Hey, Antonio,

    I tried to send you an email at the antonio[at]itthinx[dot]com (replacing the [at] and [dot] but I received an error message. Can you confirm that the email address is correct? The error I received was Delivery Incomplete.

    I tried again a few moments ago just to try. If you received that please confirm.

    I appreciate your time.

    All the best,

    Hi Josh,
    I have visited your affiliate link, but the cookie is not created, something is not working well.
    If you send me dashboard admin access to antonio[at]itthinx[dot]com indicating this topic, I’ll have a look at your settings.
    Kind Regards,
    Antonio B.
