Conversion tracking and postback
How tracking link parameters, ad codes, payment postbacks, and reports fit together.
Conversion tracking attributes conversions within your account: tracking link → Adswds landing / filtering → checkout payment → payment result sent back → console reports.
It is a different chain from affiliate aff or upstream media callback_url — don’t mix the configuration entries.
Overview
Copy tracking link (optionally with sub1–sub5)
→ visitor enters the ad (system assigns a click ID)
→ landing / redirect to checkout
→ payment success / fail / refund events
→ checkout sends the payment result back
→ Adswds records the conversion
→ conversion reportsSwitch and permissions
- Your account needs conversion tracking enabled; when disabled, related menus and writes are unavailable
- Integration config (company code, secret, postback URL) is usually copied by the account admin on the integration page
- Report menus are controlled by the same switch
Tracking link parameters
The copied tracking link can carry these parameters to distinguish traffic:
| Parameter | Meaning (common mapping when tracking is enabled) |
|---|---|
sub1 | Affiliate / channel code |
sub2 | Ad code (entered when creating the ad, usually unchangeable) |
sub3 | Platform, etc. |
sub4 | Page / landing type related |
sub5 | Company code |
| click ID | Assigned automatically on entry; you usually don’t add it manually |
Tip: use the system ad code for sub2 — hand-typed random strings break report alignment.
Payment postback
The checkout sends a server-to-server request to the Adswds postback address on payment-related events. Amounts follow what the checkout actually charged.
The integration page lets you copy:
- Company code
- Postback secret (for request verification; generated by the system)
- Postback URL (varies by environment; see your integration page)
Integration details (request fields, signing) follow the integration page and the checkout-side documentation; the official docs don’t replace your joint integration checklist.
What the reports show
In the conversion tracking menus (paths follow the console) you can view:
- Link summary
- Operator summary
- Product sales
- Conversion details
The default window is a recent period (commonly about 45 business days, adjustable); older data may be cleaned by ops policy. Export support follows the page buttons.
Configuration checklist
- Conversion tracking is enabled for the account
- The secret and postback URL were handed to the checkout and verified
- The tracking link uses the correct operator code and ad code (
sub1/sub2) - Run one test payment and see the parameters in conversion details
- After disabling the switch, confirm menus and new writes stop (so you don’t think “the report is broken”)
