Thanks to ClickFlare's API integration with Sedo RSOC, you can automatically pull conversions and revenue into ClickFlare with accuracy.
The revenue and conversions are retrieved every hour for up to 3 days from the moment the conversion happens, ensuring you always have the most up-to-date revenue data. Additionally, a final pull is performed after 7 days to account for any revenue adjustments or updates made by Sedo RSOC.
