If you have any orders you wish to have re-attributed, impact.com can correct attribution to ensure that orders not yet locked are still eligible for crediting with the use of re-processing. If you need assistance with re-processing or reattributing any orders, contact support.
If you don’t want to process your reversals manually, there are a few ways to automate the process. You can set up an event type and specify your preferred option of automated returns processing.
To do so, follow these steps:
From the left navigation menu, select [Menu] → Settings.
Under Tracking, select Event Types.
Hover your cursor over the event type for which you want to automate returns processing and select [More] → View / Edit.
Select [Edit] on the right-hand end of the Returns Processing row.
