How to use the Reports section on ConvertSocial

The Reports section registers the number of actions, clicks, and earnings for orders made via your referral links. You can also learn more about non-affiliated clicks in this section.

These insights let you analyze your advertising performance.

Statistical data for earlier periods may change, for example, when brands decline actions or customers only partially redeem their orders. Learn more

The Reports section contains three tabs with data:

  • Summary. Go to this tab to get statistics on:

    • A specific period of time, brands and social media account(s)
    • Approved, pending, and declined earnings
    • Clicks amount and conversion.

    There are a lot of metrics in this type of report, so you can customize it according to your needs.

  • Actions (former orders). Go to this tab to check detailed data about actions made via referral links for a specific period of time.

  • Non-affiliated clicks. Go to this tab to get statistics about clicks with errors, which will not be rewarded by ConvertSocial. It will help you to save time and money. If you know about errors and the reasons for non-affiliation, you can fix it in time.

In each tab, you can:

  • Filter information by date.
    By default, reports show data for the today.
    The filter allows you to select the period for which you want to see the report.
    Example:

    • Select one of the preset values: today, yesterday, current month, or previous month.
    • Or specify a period in the Select dates filter.

    After you filter by date, only data for the selected period will be shown in the charts.

  • Export report in CVS format.

    To do so, click  export-icon.png  on the right side of the page near the Apply button.

Report chart

A report is a chart that displays the number of actions, clicks, and earnings for actions made via your referral links.

This chart contains the following columns:

  • Clicks. The number of clicks on your referral links made by potential clients on a selected date.

  • Actions. The number of orders clients made through your referral links on a selected date.

  • CR. The conversion rate of clicks to actions, i.e., % of clients who made an order after following your referral link(s) on your social media account(s).

  • Pending earnings are earnings for actions being verified by brands. Sometime after a client places an order via your referral link, your provisional earnings will appear in this column and the On hold part of the Balance section.
    After that, the brand will verify the action. This verification process may take an average of 1 to 3 months. Learn more about action verification

    • If the action complies with all rules, the brand will confirm it, and your earnings for it will appear in the Approved earnings column.

    • If a brand declines an order, your earnings for it will appear in the Declined earnings column. Brands don't pay for declined actions.
  • Approved earnings are your earnings for actions that were verified and confirmed by brands. Once the earnings for an action move to this column, the reward in the Balance section moves from the On hold section to the Ready for withdrawal section.
    You can withdraw funds once your earnings reach the minimum withdrawable amount (€20). How to withdraw funds

  • Declined earnings are the earnings for actions that were declined by brands. The rewards for such orders will disappear from the On hold section or will be deducted from earnings in the Ready for withdrawal part of the Balance section since brands don't pay for declined orders.
