Postback (S2S)

Media buying

A server-to-server signal that tells your tracker a conversion happened, without relying on a browser pixel. When a user converts, the affiliate network fires your postback URL and passes back the click ID, so the sale is matched to the exact click that drove it. It's more reliable than pixels because it survives ad-blockers, cookie loss, and cross-device gaps.

Example

Your postback is https://track.me/pb?cid={click_id}&payout={sum}; the network calls it the moment a lead is approved, and the tracker logs the conversion.
