Please note that you need to insert your actual aid and tid; otherwise, your conversions will not be tracked correctly.
Step #3 - Retrieve the Global Post-back on Thrive
To get notified about conversions from the affiliate network, there are two steps:
1) Pass the Thrive click ID using {subid} to the affiliate offer URL in the appropriate parameter.
Example: http://your-offer.com/?s2={subid}
2) Grab the global post-back URL from Thrive's Tracking section:
You'll need to send back the converted sub ID from the same parameter to which you sent the Thrive sub ID.
Example: the post-back you place at the network may be formatted as:
http://your-thrive-domain.com/path/postback.php?tid=&offerid=&amount=&subid=#s2#
