Performance Data Adjustments (Clicks, Conversions, Revenue, & Payout)

Whether you need to correct tracking discrepancies, account for refunds, or update Conversion values, Adjustments gives you the flexibility to maintain accurate top-level reporting and fair Partner compensation.

Changes can be applied at the Click and/or Conversion-level, Revenue and Payout levels, and even Impressions and Media Buying Costs. Adjustments are reflected in Partner Platform reporting, as well as in any Network-level top-line reporting.

Real-Life Examples

Let's look at some common scenarios you might encounter and how to handle them. These examples will show you exactly how to make adjustments when dealing with refunds or tracking differences.

Example 1: Shopify Store Refund

Scenario: Your Shopify store had a $100 order that was later refunded. You need to adjust the Partner's statistics.

Solution:

Create new Adjustment for the order date

Disable auto-adjust

Reduce conversion count by 1

Adjust Revenue and Payout to remove the refunded amount

Save the adjustment

Example 2: Tracking Discrepancy Correction

Scenario: Your internal analytics show 500 Clicks but Everflow tracked 450. You want both stats to match.

Solution:

Create new adjustment for the affected date

Enable auto-adjust

Modify Click count to match your internal data

Let system recalculate Revenue and Payout

Save the adjustment

Making these adjustments helps maintain trust with your Partners and keeps your reporting accurate.

While the process might seem technical at first, these step-by-step solutions make it manageable.

Creating Adjustments via the API

If you create reporting adjustments programmatically through the Everflow API, it helps to understand how adjustments are processed. Each reporting adjustment is actually three operations carried out asynchronously:

A snapshot is taken of reporting as it stands before the adjustment
The adjustment is created
Reporting is updated to reflect the adjustment created in step 2

Because reporting-related API calls run asynchronously, making multiple adjustment calls in quick succession can lead to inaccurate results — including negative Click counts.

Heads Up! When creating adjustments via the API, wait at least 1 second between calls. This gives each adjustment time to fully process and helps prevent negative Clicks or other reporting discrepancies.

Note

If you end up with negative Clicks after an adjustment, do not delete the reporting adjustment — this creates the opposite problem rather than fixing it. Contact Everflow support to have the data corrected.
