This is coming in very late but i am sure you already have this resolved. I am leaving this just incase someone else has this issue. There are some things to check when this happens. i.e(The cookies not getting set properly in the browse)
- check if the tracking scripts are added correctly on y our production website.
- check if the referral id you added to the link exists as a promoter.
- FirstPromoter sets its cookies on the primary domain so if you are using a sub domain of vercel,ngrok, azure etc that would not work as expected.
