Attribution

See every partner that touched a conversion,
not just the last one.

Last-click makes the closer look like a hero and hides every partner that drove awareness upstream. Trcker runs three multi-touch attribution models nightly — side-by-side with your last-click baseline — so you can see the full picture without changing how anyone gets paid.

Three models. Three perspectives. One dashboard.

Each conversion gets every preceding click from the same visitor in the prior 30 days stitched into a path. Each model distributes revenue across that path differently. You compare them side-by-side in Reports → Attribution.

L

Linear

Every partner in the path gets an equal share of the credit. Simple, neutral, and the best default for comparing across partners. Works great when you want to answer 'who was involved at all?'

P

Position-based (40/40/20)

First touch gets 40%, last touch gets 40%, middle touches split 20% evenly. GA4's default — it reflects the product narrative that the awareness moment and the closing moment matter most.

T

Time-decay (7-day half-life)

Each touch's weight decays exponentially with age. A touch from 7 days before the conversion is worth half a touch today; 14 days ago is worth a quarter. Best for short purchase cycles where recency matters more than order.

What you'll see that last-click hides

Every row in the attribution dashboard shows a delta chip — green if multi-touch credits the partner more than last-click does, red if less. That chip is the actionable signal.

The awareness partner who never closes but introduces every buyer a week earlier
The coupon affiliate who sits at the bottom of the funnel grabbing every last-click
The review site whose traffic shows up in 80% of successful paths but 0% of last-click credit
The paid-social publisher whose conversions look strong at last-click but shrink under linear
The partner whose first-touch count is 10x their last-touch count — pure awareness driver
The partner whose last-touch count is 10x their first-touch count — pure closer
Revenue reallocation vs. your current payout — who's being over- or under-paid relative to contribution
Path length distribution — how many touches does a typical converting journey include

Frequently asked questions

Will multi-touch attribution change how my partners get paid?

No. Last-click is still the payout truth. Partner commissions are computed the same way they always were — captured at the moment of conversion. Multi-touch attribution is purely a reporting overlay so you can see the full picture without changing the invoices. Separate trust thresholds.

How far back does the attribution window look?

30 days by default. For every approved conversion, Trcker walks back 30 days of clicks by the same visitor (fingerprinted on IP + user-agent), dedupes by partner, and runs each model against the resulting path.

Why these three models specifically?

Linear, position, and time-decay are closed-form — no ML pipeline needed. They give you about 80% of what operators actually want from multi-touch attribution. Shapley and Markov-chain removal-effect attribution are on the roadmap as follow-ups; they require a trained path-to-conversion probability model, which is a heavier build.

Does this replace my MMP (AppsFlyer / Adjust / Kochava)?

For the affiliate / partner channel, yes — most programs don't need to pay MMP rates for it. For mobile-app attribution with SDK integrations, keep your MMP; Trcker focuses on web + creator + affiliate traffic.

How does Trcker stitch the path without cross-device tracking?

Within a single device, IP + user-agent fingerprint. For cross-device, Trcker uses hashed email when available (same signal sent to Meta/LinkedIn CAPI). Full cross-device stitching via stable identity graphs is a follow-up.

Can I query attribution data programmatically?

Yes. The get_attribution_lift MCP tool returns per-partner credit across all three models plus the last-click baseline, in structured form. Scope to a single offer with the offerId parameter.
