Global Support - Stitch Integrations Troubleshooting Guide
If a user has stated that their ad costs are not showing in reporting you may use this as a first step to try to diagnose the issue.
Go to the GS audit pinboard (linked above) and filter to the source/promo codes in question (and make sure to adjust the correct date range) by using the ‘Promo Code’ filter at the top of the board & date range filter.
Once you’ve filtered on the source/promo codes you should refer to the column ‘Is Error?’. If the value = ‘True’ then look to the ‘Invalid Fields’ column to see the invalid reason code.
If there the ‘Is Error’ field says ‘False’ and there are ad costs in there please inform the user that they will populate in ad cost reporting (e.g. Marketing Performance data set or Lead Gen data set) later on.
REMINDER: It takes about 2 days for ad costs to catch up, but if the costs in the stitch audit board match the costs that the affiliate has provided, they will make it into the ad cost reports mentioned in section 3a.
