Do you have two websites for your eCommerce business? One where you promote your business, the Marketing Site, and the other one where you actually sell your products, memberships or services, the eCommerce Site.
If this is your setup, you will most probably want affiliates to refer users to your Marketing Site, instead of your eCommerce Site.
If that’s the case, you may notice that referred users to the Marketing Site will not result in visits and conversions of the eCommerce Site.
Why is that?
Simply because there are two websites and they are not connected. SliceWP, being installed on the eCommerce site, cannot communicate with the Marketing Site.
This is where the Cross-site Tracking add-on comes into play.
How does the add-on work?
This add-on is a bridge between your Marketing Site and your eCommerce Site. Even though it’s an add-on for SliceWP, it won’t be installed on the eCommerce Site as the other add-ons, but on the Marketing Site.
Once the add-on is installed and configured, it will modify any links leading to your eCommerce Site into referral links.
This will of course only happen when a visitor reaches your website through one of your affiliate’s referral links. If someone reaches your website directly, the add-on will not modify the leading links.
