Bypass POS or Referrer

When a user completes a purchase through a POS (Point of Sale) or external payment page (Stripe, PayPal, Redsys…), they temporarily leave your site.
When they return to your thank-you page, SealMetrics may detect this as a new session and attribute the referrer incorrectly.

This causes conversions to appear as coming from: ❌ payment instead of
✔️ the original source (Google Ads, Facebook, Email, etc.)

How Bypass POS / Referrer Works​

You can configure SealMetrics to ignore specific referrers, ensuring that once users return from a payment domain, the system keeps the original traffic source instead of overwriting it.

How to Set It Up​

  1. Go to Accounts
  2. Click Edit
  3. Scroll to Referral Exclusion List
  4. Add domains you want to exclude (e.g. payment providers)
  5. Click Update

Why This Matters​

This avoids:

  • Incorrect attribution to payment
  • Lost ROAS visibility
  • Broken marketing funnels

You keep the real traffic source intact.
