Testing the Postback URL Settings in Dashboard
This option was developed so that the client could check immediately whether he had set everything up correctly both on his own and on our side. During the check, clicks are not counted, money is not debited, and the verification data is not included in statistics. To check the correctness of an advertising campaign and its integration settings, there is an opportunity to check the operation of Postback.
To do this, switch to the “Advertisers" section” in Dashboard.
Follow the link indicated under the teaser:
Perform the target action (Order, Subscribe, Register, etc.). In this case, it is To confirm the order (See paragraph 5). Within 15 minutes, a test conversion will be displayed in total statistics of the client’s account (test transactions are displayed in brackets):
You can see the statistics of the clicks by going to the Statistics tab.
