The Post Back URL configuration allows you to select posting back an order type and/or order actions. The order type selection will allow the Platform to perform a server side posting of your pixels directly to your third party affiliate tracking software such as Linktrust, HasOffers, HitPath, DirectTrack, Cake Marketing, or your own in house solution. If post back URL is enabled, there will be no need to host a pixel on your confirmation page since pixel firing will automatically be done by the Platform. The Post Back URL will allow you to configure what gets posted to your affiliate tracking system from the additional fields that are populated.

To add a new Post Back URL profile, you will need to navigate to Settings > Post Backs, and select 'Create' from the Actions drop-down menu. From there, a new page will populate where you can build out your Post Back URL and add any necessary tokens. You will need to just need to click "VIEW TOKENS / BUILD URL" next to the 'tokens' field as shown below, and you will be navigated to the Post Back builder.

Post Back Builder:

This is where you will build out your Post Back URL and add any additional tokens. Within the "Base URL" field, you will need to just enter in the URL, and then select any of the check boxes to select the tokens that you would like to add to the URL. Click on "SAVE", and the URL will then be automatically populated within the add Post Back URL section, where you can then complete your setup.
