AJAX fallback for ad-blocker bypass when force tracking is enabled

URL Email Capture When enabled, the URL Email Capture integration allows you to:

Track referrals from thank you pages where the email is passed as a URL query parameter

Useful when your checkout, funnel, or external platform redirects to a confirmation page with the customer’s email in the URL (e.g. /[email protected])

Configure the URL parameter key for the email (e.g. email)

Optionally configure a second parameter key for the user ID (e.g. uid)

No plugin dependency required — works on any WordPress page

Payment Links When enabled, the Payment Links integration allows you to:

Automatically append the FirstPromoter tracking ID to payment links on your pages as the client_reference_id parameter

Works with Stripe buy.stripe.com links, custom Stripe checkout domains, or any direct payment URL

Uses MutationObserver to handle dynamically added links (popups, AJAX-injected content)
