# Conversion Registration Time Reporting Guide

> Configuring your conversions registration time reporting

When comparing what you see in your **traffic source** with what ClickFlare has recorded, it’s important to understand how **conversion timestamps** are reported

### Key Point

Events in ClickFlare are **stored in Logs and displayed based on visit time by default**. This can affect how you see conversions when filtering by date in the Logs section.

**Example:**
If you’re using Visit Timestamp and checking the campaign on the dashboard

* A user visits your campaign on **December 2, 2024, at 10:44:32 AM**.
* The conversion happens later, on **December 5, 2024, at 11:11:11 AM**.
* If your report is filtered for **December 5 only**, this conversion will **not appear** because it is attributed to the visit date (**December 2**).
* To see this conversion, you would need to include **December 2** in your report. (or you can switch the reporting to **Postback Timestamp**)

### Postback Timestamp

If you switch to **Postback Timestamp**, conversions are reported based on the **time the event was sent back to ClickFlare**, not the visit time.

**Example:**

Using the same scenario above, the conversion would now appear on **December 5, 2024, at 11:11:11 AM**, making it easier to correlate with your traffic source reports.

## How to Switch Timestamp Settings

1. Go to the **Settings Menu** (gear icon, top right).
2. Under **General Settings**, find the **Conversion Registration Time Reporting** section.
3. Choose either:

   * **Visit Timestamp** – conversion tied to the visit time.
   * **Postback Timestamp** – conversion tied to when it was sent back.
4. Click **Save**.

### Tip for Comparing Traffic Source Data

* When comparing conversions with your traffic source, ensure you’re looking at the **Postback Timestamp in the dashboard** to match what was sent.
* Use the dashboard to **filter and check specific conversion events**.
* If a visit occurred yesterday but was converted today, check **yesterday’s visit date** if using Visit Timestamp.
