Tracking

⚠️ A commission is simply a rule that defines when and how a transaction should be created from a conversion.

In PalDock, commissions define when and how a transaction with a payout is created from a conversion. While conversions are tracked performance metrics, they only become transactions (with a payout and result) when a commission applies.
Tracking in PalDock allows you to record and manage conversions such as clicks, leads, prospeccts, sales or custom ones and control how they are turned into transactions with payouts.
There are several ways to track conversions, each with its own use case:
  • Pixel – browser based tracking triggered on a confirmation page
  • S2S Postback – server to server tracking, secure and cookie less
  • Tracking API – structured exchange of conversion data between systems
  • Manual upload – importing conversions manually if no automated method is available
These methods can be bined. PalDock automatically deduplicates requests so that only valid, unique conversions are processed.
You can find the full guide for setting up tracking in the Offer editor, under the Tracking tab.
