Frequently Asked Questions
Does LinkJolt work with the Next.js App Router?
Yes. LinkJolt fully supports Next.js 13+ App Router. Add the tracking script to your root layout.tsx using the Next.js Script component with strategy="afterInteractive". The script handles click tracking automatically via cookies and localStorage. No changes to your routing or page structure are needed.
Does it work with Server Components?
Yes. The LinkJolt tracking script is added to your root layout and runs client-side without causing hydration issues. It is fully compatible with React Server Components. Conversion tracking happens server-side through Stripe or Paddle webhooks, so no client component wrappers are required for tracking purchases.
How are conversions tracked?
Conversions are tracked server-side via Stripe or Paddle webhooks (recommended). When a customer clicks an affiliate link, the tracking script stores attribution in cookies. At checkout, the attribution data is passed to Stripe via client_reference_id. Stripe then sends a webhook to LinkJolt with the conversion details. No client-side conversion code is needed for this flow.
Does affiliate tracking affect Next.js performance?
No. The LinkJolt script loads asynchronously after the page is interactive using the Next.js Script component. It does not block rendering or affect Lighthouse scores. The script is lightweight, uses passive event listeners, and has zero impact on Core Web Vitals.
Can I use this with both Stripe and Paddle?
Yes. LinkJolt supports both Stripe and Paddle as payment processors. Add the tracking script to your layout.tsx for click attribution, then connect whichever payment processor you use. Webhook-based conversion tracking works with both providers out of the box.
