๐ก What is a Postback?
A postback (also called "server-to-server tracking" or "S2S") is a way for affiliate networks to notify AdsFurry when a conversion happens. This ensures accurate tracking even when cookies are blocked.
Why use postbacks? Cookie-based tracking can be unreliable due to ad blockers and browser restrictions. Postbacks provide 100% accurate conversion data directly from the network's servers.
๐ Your Organization's Postback URL
Copy this URL and paste it in your affiliate network's postback settings:
Important: The URL above includes placeholders like
{payout} and {transaction_id}. Your affiliate network will
replace these with actual values when sending the postback.
