They claim realtime - not accurate though. Being both AFF and vendor i see this all usually within 2-20 min Vendor: Get an email from CB notifying a sale has been made - doesn't show if it's from an aff or in-house. *Login to CB - analytics and check transactions - see who/how the sale came in. If I view from affiliates, there is a delay in displaying which affiliate made the sale however my transaction table already shows that... conclusion - my aff finds out about a sale 2-20 min. after I do. Affiliate: You don't know if you've made a sale unless you log in to CB (perhaps to retain visitors longer/better), so you check often, analyze your hops/sales. You can get plugins that notify you from your desktop that you've made a sale, cool little ap but does nothing for you really... sorry for over-detailing this, info may be useful for you/others though.
