Conversions are recording, so the click ID round trip is working. The amount attached to them is not.

​
Which symptom do you have?

​
Revenue is zero

The postback reached ClickFlare but carried no amount.
The postback needs a payout parameter filled with the network’s own payout macro, alongside the click ID:
Both halves must be present. A postback with only the click ID records the conversion and nothing else — which is exactly this symptom.See ClickFlare Parameters in Postback URLs.
Some networks do not include a payout value in their postback at all, and some only do so once you enable it in their interface.If the network genuinely cannot send it, set a fixed payout on the offer instead — that is what manual mode is for.

​
Revenue is always the same number

The offer is set to manual payout, so ClickFlare uses the fixed value you entered rather than what arrives.
Manual payout is a fallback, not an override. If the network does send a payout value in the postback, that value wins and your fixed amount is ignored. A figure that never changes therefore means no value is arriving — the network is silent, not overridden.
Switch the offer to automatic payout once the postback is confirmed to carry an amount. See Offers: What They Are and How Payout Works.

​
Revenue is close but not exact

If the network pays in one currency and your workspace reports in another, every figure is converted at the prevailing rate. Small persistent differences against the network’s dashboard are expected.See Multicurrency Support in ClickFlare.
Some networks send the gross payout and deduct fees later; others send the net. ClickFlare records what it is sent. Compare against the same figure the network’s postback carries, not against your final invoice.
If the offer pays different amounts by country, a single fixed payout will be wrong for most of your traffic. Configure the per-geo values on the offer, which requires manual payout mode.

​
Revenue arrives late or changes afterwards

Normal for many verticals. Conversions can be confirmed hours or days after the click, and networks reverse conversions that later fail validation. Judge a campaign on a settled range rather than on today. If you need revenue reported back to the ad platform after that delay, see Sending Delayed Revenue to Traffic Sources.
