Media buyer tool 3 · Postback URL Tester for CrakRevenue
Test your CrakRevenue postback URL before the next conversion goes missing.
CrakRevenue calls the postback URL you set in your account (your tracker's URL) when a conversion occurs, replacing the macros with conversion data. Below: CrakRevenue's postback format and macros as CrakRevenue's own docs give them, the ways a CrakRevenue postback usually breaks, and the tester, pre-filled with an example of the postback the network fires to your tracker. Edit it to match yours and run the check.

CrakRevenue's postback format
http(s)://your-tracking-endpoint?click_id={aff_click_id}&offer={offer_id}&payout={payout}CrakRevenue's click-ID macro: {aff_sub}. Source: How to setup a postback (CrakRevenue help) (read on November 9, 2026). Networks rename macros and some show them only inside your account; if your dashboard differs, it wins.

How a CrakRevenue postback usually breaks
Global postback needs support
The global postback article says to contact CrakRevenue support to set it and its variable list is an image; per-offer postbacks use the macro table.
Fix: Use the per-offer postback field, or ask support to enable the global one.
aff_sub vs aff_click_id
{aff_sub}..{aff_sub5} are sub IDs and {aff_click_id} as the click ID from the tracking link; putting the tracker click ID in one and reading the other returns empty.
Fix: Read back the same field you filled on the link.
transaction_id is not your ID
{transaction_id} is the network's transaction ID, different from any partner ID passed in aff_sub.
Fix: Do not use {transaction_id} as the click ID.
Protocol field
The setup asks you to choose http or https and then type the rest of the URL; entering the protocol twice gives a malformed URL.
Fix: Enter only host and path in the text field.
Test your CrakRevenue postback
Pre-filled with an example: CrakRevenue's macros in an example tracker postback (track.example.com stands for your tracker). Paste your own URL over it; the check runs in this page and fires nothing.
Want me to trace one real campaign?
This tool checks the postback URL and offer link you pasted from what you typed. It can't see your ad accounts, tracker, network or live traffic. If the result shows gaps, I'll look at one real campaign for free: I trace it from ad click to payout and back, and within 48 hours I send you a written report on where money or data leaks silently, the fix for each, and the tests that prove it's fixed.
In the review I fire a test conversion end to end on one real campaign and check it lands once, with the right payout, in your tracker and in your traffic source. You get the fix for every place it doesn't.
