What is the purpose of the “Advanced Settings” > “Record Verified Affiliate Clicks Only” setting?
Thank you
I have the same question
It verifies the affiliate ID before recording the click.
By default it doesn’t check the affiliate ID when recording a click (this saves a query). It assumes that your affiliates have used their correct Affiliate ID to refer the user. So if an affiliate makes a mistake in their affiliate ID, it will record that mistaken ID instead of ignoring it. Recording the click when an affiliate has a made a mistake is good because the admin can see it and notify the referrer. However, some admins don’t want it so we introduced that option.
Ah, ok. Thank you for the explanation!
