# Welcome to TrackRev

> Track any link, attribute every sale to the channel that earned it, and run an affiliate programme — three products on one data model and one definition of a sale.

TrackRev tells you **which acquisition channel actually pays your MRR** — then gives you
the tools to scale it. It is three products sharing one data model and one definition of
a sale, so every number in every dashboard reconciles to the same Stripe (or Paddle, Polar,
Lemon Squeezy) charge.

## Why one platform

Most teams stitch together a link shortener, an attribution cron and an affiliate tool.
That is three bills, three dashboards, and three different definitions of a "conversion"
that never reconcile. TrackRev is all three on **one data model** — a click, a visitor and
a sale mean the same thing everywhere — so the channel report, the visitor journey and the
affiliate commission all trace back to the same charge.

<Note>
  New to TrackRev? The fastest path to a live dashboard is the
  [5-minute Quickstart](/getting-started/quickstart). It walks you from sign-up to your
  first tracked, attributed click.

## The core loop

Everything TrackRev does follows one loop. Understanding it makes every feature obvious.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Generate a tracking link">
    Paste a destination URL and TrackRev mints a short link — one per channel, with UTMs
    baked in — on your own branded domain.
  </Step>

  <Step title="A visitor clicks">
    TrackRev logs the click **server-side**, drops a first-party `vid` cookie, and 302s to
    your destination. Because the click is recorded on the server, it survives ad-blockers
    and Safari's tracking prevention.
  </Step>

  <Step title="The pixel ties the session to the visitor">
    A lightweight pixel (`p.js`) on your site connects the browser session to that `vid`,
    records pageviews, and — when you know who the visitor is — an `identify(email)` call.
  </Step>

  <Step title="A payment arrives">
    TrackRev pulls new charges from your payment processor and joins each one back to the
    visitor via the checkout reference (or email as a fallback).
  </Step>

  <Step title="The channel gets the credit">
    The attribution engine credits the winning channel under the model you choose, and the
    revenue shows up ranked by channel — and, if the sale came through a partner, as a
    commission on the affiliate ledger.
  </Step>
</Steps>
