Postbacks Documentation

A postback is a sales transaction notification from payment processors to a merchant's affiliate system. For more information about the general concept, see Wikipedia.

KinkyDollars can send a postback in the form of a customized GET request given a base URL and template.

Postbacks are currently administered by KinkyDollars staff; if you are interested in participating, please contact affiliates@kinkydollars.com.
