Server-side postback setup (HMAC)

For brands that can call our HMAC-verified server-side postback endpoint, sales attribute with zero browser-side dependency, works even when ad blockers strip cookies.

When postback applies to you

You don’t configure postback, the brand does. Postback is the brand’s server calling Keepface’s server when a sale clears. As an influencer you just take the link and share; if attribution comes back via postback, it’s invisible to you.

Why postback matters

It’s the most reliable method:

  • Works when ad blockers strip cookies
  • Works for purchases via apps (not just browsers)
  • Survives same-device + cross-device attribution

For brands that have this set up, your commission rate is typically the same as JS pixel; the difference is reliability.

Verification

Postback events arrive at Keepface with HMAC signature for authenticity. We reject unsigned or tampered events. Brand-side replay attacks fail.

How to know if a brand uses postback

Check the offer card, methods listed include “S2S postback” if enabled. Multiple methods can be active simultaneously; we pick the most reliable signal per sale.
