# STEP 1
First, you need to generate a unique Postback URL.
Log in to your TrafficStars account and open the tab Media Buying Tools
Here you can choose between Simple and Advanced modes.
Simple - this postback type will allow you to track conversions through click_id parameter. For CPA campaigns the conversion cost will be taken from the price field in campaign settings.
Advanced - this postback type will allow you to set up dynamic conversion tracking.
Check the right boxes, depending on what conversion parameters you want to pass.
Track earnings and ROI - report your revenue from conversion in the Value parameter.
Report conversion cost - report your cost for conversion in CPA campaigns in the Price parameter. This is a digital value.
Track post-conversion events - report multiple conversions for the same click id in the lead_code parameter.
Allow duplicates - all reporting duplicates conversions in the allow_duplicates parameter.
Choose one of integrated tracking services or create a custom one.
Name it and click Generate.
{click_id}, {value}, {price}, {lead_code} - these are tokens unique for each affiliate network or tacker.
Here is your S2S postback URL:

Let's take a deeper look at what parameters it passes:
