ClickFlare appends cid={cf_click_id} to your CartPanda promolink. CartPanda stores the click ID and returns it in an S2S postback with the order value and optional product and customer fields, so each sale lands on the right click.
Redirect or direct campaigns, with or without a lander
Good to know
No cid on the promolink means no conversions are tracked.
