What is cref on signup links, and how do I see people who joined Apiway from my storefront?

When you share your public Studio storefront or a listing, Apiway can add cref (your creator user id) to the registration URL. If a visitor registers a new account within 30 days of first landing on your published profile, that signup is attributed to you for creator-only statistics. Open **Creators → Affiliate** (next to Earnings) while signed in to review masked-email referrals; publishing your profile is still required for a public storefront URL and for first-touch attribution on your own link. Attribution is first-touch to a published creator within the window; it is for reporting only unless Apiway publishes separate payout rules. Technical detail: a first-party cookie plus a short-lived signed browser token help complete attribution even when cookies are blocked during part of the signup flow.
