Clickbank transaction is it instant?

As above.Does it reflect on the transaction page instantly when someome purchases it?

Normally you'll see the transaction go through pretty quickly but click (hop) reporting can be delayed by up to a few hours if things are running slow. CB click reporting really sucks.

I just asked someone to purchase a product via my affiliate link but it hasnt shown yet.Why cant they make it real time?
By the way is there any other way to check if a transaction has gone through.Let's say someone already purchase,is there any id or messages that proves that a transaction has gone through.Im currently asking someone to buy through my affiliate link via skype but Im not sure if he has made the transaction.

It usually takes about 3-5 minutes to appear in your transaction.
Remember to clear your internet cache just in case.

i think its instantly
