CrakRevenue postback setup
What CrakRevenue sends back when a sale is approved, which field carries your click id, and how UTMCAP joins the two.
- 01
Send the click id out with your offer link
CrakRevenue carries it in
aff_sub. Put the token on the offer URL and every conversion can be traced back to the click that paid for it.https://their-offer.com/?aff_sub={utmcap_id} - 02
Paste the postback into CrakRevenue
UTMCAP builds this for you on your own tracking domain — the example below uses a placeholder. CrakRevenue fills in the braces when it calls it.
https://track.example.com/postback?cid={aff_sub}&payout={payout}&transaction_id={conversion_id}
What each field carries
| Field | CrakRevenue calls it | And fills it with |
|---|---|---|
| Click id | cid | {aff_sub} |
| Payout | payout | {payout} |
| Their conversion id | transaction_id | not published |
Worth knowing: Put your click id in Sub ID 1 when you customise the offer link — it returns as {aff_sub}. A global postback has to be switched on by your affiliate manager; without it you set the postback per offer.

Questions
About CrakRevenue and tracking.
- How do I set up a CrakRevenue postback?
- Paste the postback URL from your UTMCAP campaign into CrakRevenue, on your own tracking domain rather than the example one, and send the click id out in the aff_sub field on your offer link. The parameters are filled in for you; the table above shows what each one carries.
- Does UTMCAP already know CrakRevenue?
- Yes. CrakRevenue is in the catalogue with its parameters and macros taken from its own documentation, so the postback works without you mapping anything by hand.
- What happens if a conversion arrives days later?
- It still finds its click. The postback carries the click id, so a sale approved a week after the click attaches to that click and is dated when it happened. A status change updates the same conversion rather than adding a second one.
- Do conversions count against my plan?
- Conversions and postbacks are never billable here — only the click the redirect answered. Free for 100,000 clicks a month, then $29 for a million.
