How Cashback Tracking Works
Cashback tracking is the process by which a cashback platform records that a shopper's purchase was referred through it, so the partner store credits the right party. It depends on a click-through from the cashback platform to the partner store at the start of the session. Without that click-through, the platform cannot prove it referred the sale, and no cashback is recorded for that purchase.How Long Does Cashback Take to Clear?
Cashback typically appears as Pending shortly after a purchase, then becomes Confirmed once the partner store's claim time is fulfilled and the order meets the store's terms. Claim time varies by partner store. Travel bookings often only confirm after the trip has been completed. The specific timing for any retailer is listed on its page on the cashback platform.What Is Pending Cashback and Why Is Mine Pending?
Pending cashback is cashback that has been recorded against a purchase but is not yet ready to withdraw. It waits until the partner store's claim time has passed and the order has met the store's terms. Once that happens, the cashback becomes Confirmed and the shopper can withdraw it. Specific claim times vary by partner store and are listed on each store's page.What Is Cashback and How Does It Work?
Cashback is real money returned to a shopper after a qualifying purchase, paid as a percentage of what they spent. It is funded by the retailer's affiliate marketing budget, not by adding cost to the shopper. A cashback platform sits between shopper and retailer, tracks the purchase, and credits the cashback to the shopper's account.
