0 sats \ 3 replies \ @ek 27 Aug \ on: WooCommerce Referral Links Only Trigger on 2nd Visit Fix (25k sats bounty) devs
Does the referral logic depend on cookies present? Are your cookies using SameSite=Lax?
Is there a way for us to reproduce the issue?
The SameSite column is empty on all cookies, so from what I understand: Blank SameSite = defaults to SameSite=Lax
I recently launched another website and installed the Referral Codes plugin again to test the behavior. The same issue persists. Initially I was certain that the issue was related to the LongWatchStudio plugins themselves, so I was in a lengthy correspondence with them, they claimed they weren't able to reproduce the issue on their end. I am thinking of emailing them again due to the fact that the same problem is present on a new site, but nevertheless, the fact that another plugin behaved the same way (at least on the older site, haven't tested on the new one yet), seems to indicate that it's not just a plugin issue.
The way the referral codes work does not seem to be dependent on whether the cookies are present from the get-go or not. I tested this yesterday:
On the new site, the plugin's cookie lwsadmsession... was present on the first visit, however the referral logic didn't trigger until the 2nd visit.
On the older site, the cookie wasn't present on the first visit, referral logic acted the same (only triggered on the 2nd visit)

The referrals worked at some point when the original site (satosh.ee) was a WIP... can't tell you the exact time when I tested the system, but based on my notes it seems initial tests were done already back in October 2023. But by the time I launched it, more than a year later in November 2024, the links weren't working properly and I haven't gotten them to work since.
