"The click is in our numbers but Club shows nothing"

Symptom

The traffic dashboard shows the click, the redirect worked, the fan landed on OnlyFans — but Club's fan list, revenue dashboard, or source-attribution screen shows nothing for them.

Cause

This is not a bug in either product — it's the boundary working as designed. Link owns the click/impression event and the link it pointed at; it never decides whether that click turned into a sale, how much money moved, or which fan the payment belongs to. See Boundaries for the full split. Concretely:

• A click becoming a subscription, a tip, or a PPV sale is Club's OfConversion / OfTransaction machinery — Link's click row has no revenue field to populate.
• Which fan a source or campaign belongs to is resolved by Club, reading Link's raw click/link data as input, not by Link itself.
• Not every click converts. A visitor who clicks and never subscribes is a normal, expected outcome, not a missing-data bug.

How to check

• Confirm the click itself is real first: the traffic dashboard and the domain's own click report both draw from the same Click rows Link's redirect layer writes — if it's not there, the problem is upstream of Club entirely (redirect, bot filter, retention window; see Traffic troubleshooting).
• If the click is confirmed and the fan genuinely did subscribe, the gap is in Club's resolution, not Link's event — that's Club's attribution surface, not this product's.
• Telegram-gate traffic is the one path where Link writes a join key Club consumes directly (tg_bot_starts); if that specific path looks broken, check Telegram gate troubleshooting for the webhook/rule side first.

What's next

A traffic-source rule matches but the fan still isn't attributed — the same Link/Club split, for source rules specifically.
