​
Step 2: Get Postback URLs

  1. Go to Settings → Integrations → Affiliate Networks
  2. Find Buygoods and click “Activate” or “Manage”
  3. Copy the Conversion URL and Refund URL provided
  4. These URLs will be used in your Buygoods backoffice

  2. Navigate to the postback/tracking section
  3. Add the conversion URL for successful purchases
  4. Add the refund URL for processing refunds

The postback URLs are unique to your ElasticFunnels account and will automatically receive postbacks from Buygoods when orders are placed.

​
Transaction Types

The integration supports multiple transaction types:
When a customer completes a purchase, Buygoods automatically sends a postback. This creates a purchase conversion in ElasticFunnels.
When a refund is processed, Buygoods automatically sends a postback. This creates a refund conversion linked to the original purchase.
When an order is cancelled, Buygoods automatically sends a postback. This creates a cancel conversion.
When a chargeback occurs, Buygoods automatically sends a postback. This creates a chargeback conversion.
When a commission is voided, Buygoods automatically sends a postback. This is processed separately from order conversions.
Commission notifications are processed separately from order conversions. Only actual order postbacks create conversion records.

​
Click ID Tracking

​
How Click IDs Work

Buygoods uses click tracking to identify which affiliate links led to conversions:
  • Automatic Tracking: Click information is automatically captured from Buygoods postbacks
  • Validation: System validates click tracking data and handles any formatting issues
  • Attribution: Conversions are automatically attributed to the affiliate link that generated the click

​
Malformed Click ID Handling

If a click ID contains placeholder characters or is malformed:
  • The system automatically detects invalid click IDs
  • Conversion is still processed and tracked
  • Issues are logged for review
The system automatically handles malformed click IDs to ensure conversions are still tracked even if the click ID format is incorrect.

​
Conversion Updates

If you need to update an existing conversion (for example, to correct order amounts or customer information), you can configure Buygoods to send an update postback. The system will automatically update the existing conversion instead of creating a new one.
Contact support if you need to update existing conversions. The system handles this automatically when configured properly.

​
Payment Gateway & Fulfillment Provider

Payment Gateway Configuration

Buygoods can be configured as a payment gateway:

Fulfillment Provider Configuration

You can use Buygoods as both a payment gateway and fulfillment provider, or use it for just one function depending on your needs.

  • Tracking pixels are automatically created

Best Practices

1

Verify Postback URLs

Double-check that postback URLs are copied correctly into Buygoods backoffice. Any typos will prevent postbacks from working.
2

Test with Small Purchase

Test the integration with a small purchase first to verify tracking works before running large campaigns.
3

Monitor Click IDs

Check your conversion data regularly. While the system handles malformed click IDs automatically, it’s better to ensure Buygoods links are formatted correctly.
4

Verify Tracking Pixels

Tracking pixels are created automatically when you configure Buygoods as a merchant. Verify they’re working by checking your conversion attribution.
5

Handle All Transaction Types

Ensure your Buygoods configuration handles all transaction types (purchases, refunds, cancellations, chargebacks) appropriately.

​
Security & Privacy

  • Postback URLs are unique to your account
  • Click IDs are validated before processing
  • Customer data is handled securely
  • All transactions are logged for audit purposes
Allow up to 15 minutes for data to appear after a purchase. Postbacks are processed in real-time, but there may be a slight delay.
