The Problem

The Flaws of Last Click

The last-click model only rewards the final touchpoint. Here’s why this holds your program back.

Unfair Commission Share

The most commonly used "last click" model only rewards the publisher who completes the transaction. It ignores all publishers who initiated or assisted along the sales path.

Limited Publisher Activity

Without a reward for initiating and assisting sales, publishers at the top and middle of the funnel lose motivation to actively promote your program.

Affiliate Program Stagnation

As a result, your partner program grows slower than it could. You absorb the cost of driving upper-funnel activity your publishers no longer have incentive to support.

The Solution

Incentivize Every Partner

Along the Sales Path

Conversion Path Attribution allows you to incentivize all involved partners along the sales path, leading to higher volumes of sales with no additional costs.

The Solution

Once You Activate Conversion Path Attribution, You Will Have

Fair Attribution

See and understand the value of all touchpoints on the sales path. Every publisher’s contribution is measured and rewarded.

More Publisher Activity

Decide how to share commission between all involved partners. Publishers across the entire funnel are motivated to participate.

Faster Growth

Activate publishers from the top of the funnel (content sites, influencers) who were previously unwilling to partner on a last-click CPS model.

What Our Partners Say

Brands across fintech and e-commerce trust Circlewise to deliver the data clarity and tracking reliability that makes attribution work.

Choose Your Model

Attribution Models Ready to Use

Choose the model that fits your business. Each one distributes commission differently across the publishers involved in the customer journey.

Time Decay

When you have already invested in multi-channel awareness campaigns and need an affiliate program to boost sales in the lower funnel. Publishers closer to the conversion receive a larger share of the commission.

Best For

Brands running awareness campaigns alongside performance marketing.

Position Based

The best option for most e-commerce businesses with a relatively short sales path (fintech, financial services, e-commerce). The first and last touchpoints receive the largest share, with the remainder split between middle interactions.

Best For

E-commerce brands with short to medium purchase journeys.

Linear

For offers with an extended buying decision, where nurturing is as important as initiation and closure (luxury goods, real estate, cars, financial services). Every touchpoint receives an equal share of the commission.

Best For

High-value products with long consideration periods.

First Click

When your main goal is awareness and you want to know the direct sales impact of your campaign. The publisher who initiates the customer journey receives the largest share of the commission. You configure the exact split. Use the data for optimization.

Best For

Brand awareness campaigns and top-of-funnel publisher recruitment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about getting started with Circlewise

Conversion Path Attribution is a feature that distributes commission across all publishers who contribute to a conversion, not just the last one who closed the sale. It rewards the full customer journey.

Last-click attribution gives 100% of the commission to the publisher who completed the final transaction. Conversion Path Attribution splits the commission across all touchpoints, so publishers who initiate and assist sales are also rewarded fairly.

We support four models: Time Decay, Position Based, Linear, and First Click. Each distributes commission differently depending on your business goals and sales path length.

No. Conversion Path Attribution redistributes your existing commission budget more fairly. It does not add extra costs. It reallocates the same commission across more touchpoints.

No technical changes are needed from publishers. Once activated, commission sharing happens automatically. We recommend communicating the change to your publishers so they understand the benefits.

Your dedicated account manager will help you choose the right model, configure it on the platform, and communicate the change to your publishers. Most setups are completed within days.
