Overview

Understanding Domain Types in Everflow
Domains in Everflow can handle both tracking and conversion functions, but it's important to understand their primary purposes:
Tracking Domains
Used in Partner tracking links to track Clicks coming through to your Offers. When a Partner promotes your Offer, their tracking link uses your tracking domain to:

- Redirect users to the final destination
- Enable proper Attribution
Conversion Domains
Used in Conversion postbacks and pixels by Advertisers to fire Conversions into Everflow. These domains ensure:
- Reliable Conversion tracking
- Proper Attribution back to the original Click
