In this complete guide, you’ll learn:

📌 What Is Postback or S2S Tracking?

Server-to-Server (S2S) tracking, also called Postback tracking, allows DreamAff to notify your system instantly when a conversion happens — using a secure callback URL.

Unlike cookie-based pixels, S2S tracking ensures accurate attribution without browser issues, ad blockers, or privacy interference.

🌐 How the S2S Flow Works

1. User clicks your ad → goes through your tracker → redirected to the DreamAff offer link.
2. Your tracker generates a unique Click ID and passes it to DreamAff via s1.
3. When the user converts, DreamAff fires your Postback URL with that Click ID and other data.
4. Your tracker matches the conversion with the original click — now you know what worked.

✅ **Typical Flow Example:** - Offer URL: `https://dreamaff.com/click?o=1234&s1={clickid}&s2=facebook&s3=campaign1` - Postback URL: `https://yourtracker.com/postback?cid=#trxid#&source=#s2#&campaign=#s3#&payout=#payout#` ---

🧠 Best Practice: Use s1 for Click ID and s2–s5 for Traffic Source Metadata

To keep tracking clean and accurate, follow this structure:

• s1 → Send your unique Click ID or user hash
• s2 → Use for traffic source (e.g., Facebook, Push, WhatsApp)
• s3 → Use for campaign or ad set ID
• s4 → Use for creative ID or angle
• s5 → Optional – device, landing page, or test group

DreamAff will store your Click ID from s1 and return it via the macro #trxid# in the Postback URL. This makes it easy to map leads in your tracker.
