# Do you support mobile tracking?

> Learn more about tracking both iOS and Android installs as well as in-app conversions

November 9, 2026

It’s technically possible to use Tapfiliate to set up an affiliate program that rewards affiliates for driving installs and in-app purchases. Here’s a high-level overview of how it works.

## Tracking Installs

If you would like to track installations and issue rewards based on the install of your application, do as follows:

1. Follow step 2 of the [Rest API integration guide](https://support.tapfiliate.com/integrations/supported-integrations/how-to-integrate-with-tapfiliate-via-the-rest-api.md#h_4b36e83023) (Create a click) to generate a click\_id before the visitor installs your app
2. Tie this click\_id to the visitor using your favorite install-tracking platform or service.
3. When the user installs your app, grab the click\_id and use it to **track a conversion** as shown in step 3 of the [Rest API Integration guide](https://support.tapfiliate.com/integrations/supported-integrations/how-to-integrate-with-tapfiliate-via-the-rest-api.md#h_ab3d184993).

## In-app purchase tracking:

If you would like to track purchases taking place inside the app, you will follow a logic that very closely resembles that of [our lifetime/recurring commissions guide](https://support.tapfiliate.com/advanced-configurations-automation/how-to-set-up-the-recurring-lifetime-commissions-via-rest-api-zapier-or-make.md), whereby you first track the customer and then attach conversions to that customer when purchases are made.

To achieve this, you would:

1. Follow step 2 of the [Rest API integration guide](https://support.tapfiliate.com/integrations/supported-integrations/how-to-integrate-with-tapfiliate-via-the-rest-api.md#h_4b36e83023) (Create a click) to generate a click\_id before the visitor installs your app.
2. Tie this click\_id to the visitor using your favorite install-tracking platform or service.
3. When the user installs your app, grab the click\_id and use it to **track a customer** as shown in the Create a customer section of the [Rest API Integration guide](https://support.tapfiliate.com/integrations/supported-integrations/how-to-integrate-with-tapfiliate-via-the-rest-api.md#h_a4aa5593c9), passing the click\_id.
4. Whenever a recurring or new payment takes place for the customer, you can create a new [conversion through the REST API](https://developers.tapfiliate.com/api-reference/conversions/create-a-conversion). In this call, you indicate the customer\_id.

Mobile tracking involves cross-domain tracking, as users are redirected to app stores (where our tracking codes can’t be applied). To bridge this gap, the click\_id must be tied to the user, which typically requires an external service like AppsFlyer.

If your affiliates use coupons instead of links, you can **[implement coupon tracking](https://support.tapfiliate.com/core-program-functions/reporting-and-tracking/how-to-use-and-track-coupon-codes.md)**. In this setup, conversions are tracked whenever a coupon is redeemed, offering a straightforward alternative.

To implement this effectively, you’ll either need a Mobile Measurement Partner (MMP) to tie the click\_id to the user or set up coupon tracking for a simpler integration.
