1. Create your postback URL
Once you’re in the campaign settings, Choose Voluum as your tracking solution in the Conversion Tracking section.
Your SelfAdvertiser postback URL is created automatically and contains subid, price and unique ref id parameter.
Copy and implement the Postback URL in your tracker (after setting up Step 2).
2. Add Self-Advertiser as your traffic source on Voluum
Log in to your Voluum account, choose the Traffic sources tab and then click the New traffic source green button.
Select SelfAdvertiser from the list and click Load Template.
Voluum will pre-populate all the necessary traffic source settings.
Don’t forget to change “REPLACE” to your actual ref id from the SelfAdvertiser postback URL or just copy-paste your postback URL you created on Step 1. Otherwise, your conversions will not be tracked correctly!
You can also add a price parameter to your postback (recommended) to pass dynamic payout price in USD for each conversion according to its value.
If you choose the ‘Auto’ option in the SelfAdvertiser Conversion payout section the price parameter will be added automatically to the SelfAdvertiser postback URL.
After completing all replacements click Save to store your Self Advertiser settings in Voluum (if you want to make any changes - select your traffic source from the list and click the Edit button).
