As a new partner, effectively managing and tracking your referrals is crucial for your success.

In your PartnerStack dashboard, you have access to detailed insights about your referrals and their progress. Here's what you can track:

1. Clicks and Sign-Ups

• • 1. • View the number of clicks your referral links have generated.

       • Track sign-ups, including detailed information such as:

         • Location of the lead.

         • How and when they used your referral link.

         • The exact date and time of their sign-up.

This data helps you understand how your referral efforts are performing and where your leads are coming from.
