ClickFlare

ClickFlare is a click-id-based ad attribution tracker. TagadaPay’s integration fires a server-side postback to ClickFlare every time an order is paid — no thank-you-page pixel required.
You do NOT need to install the ClickFlare client-side pixel (/cf/cv?click_id=…&ct=sale) on your TagadaPay checkout or thank-you page. TagadaPay’s integration replaces it with a server-side postback that’s more reliable (no adblockers, no Safari ITP, no cleared caches).

How It Works

[Ad click]                          [Lander]                          [TagadaPay checkout]               [Order paid]

    └──────────────────────────────────►└──────────────────────────────────►└────────────────────────────────► [POST] /cf/postback
                                                                                                              GET https://{trackingDomain}/cf/postback
                                                                                                                  ?cid={click_id}
                                                                                                                  &payout={amount}
                                                                                                                  &txid={orderId}
Every paid order triggers exactly one HTTP GET to ClickFlare. Refunds, refresh, double-clicks — none of them produce duplicate conversions.

Setup

1

Find your ClickFlare tracking domain

In ClickFlare: Settings (gear icon, top-left) → Tracking URLs → Tracking domains.Copy your custom tracking domain (e.g. cft.dentixor.com). It is not clickflare.io — that won’t resolve to your workspace.
2

Enable ClickFlare in TagadaPay

In the TagadaPay dashboard, go to Settings → Integrations, find the ClickFlare card, click Connect, paste your tracking domain (no https:// prefix), and save.There’s no API key — ClickFlare’s S2S postback authenticates via the click_id itself.
3

Make sure your offer URLs forward the click_id

On your lander or affiliate offer URL, the click_id needs to reach the TagadaPay checkout. ClickFlare’s docs recommend appending ?cf_click_id={click_id} to your offer URL using their {click_id} token.Example offer URL inside ClickFlare:
https://yourstore.com/checkout?cf_click_id={click_id}
TagadaPay also reads the standard click_id URL parameter and the cf_click_id / cfclid cookies as fallbacks, so as long as one of those is present at checkout creation, attribution works.
4

Place a test order and verify in ClickFlare

After the next paid order, open the ClickFlare Conversions report. You should see the conversion within a minute, with the correct payout and transaction id matching your TagadaPay order id.

What TagadaPay Fires

For every paid order, exactly this URL is rendered and fired (HTTP GET, all values URL-encoded):
https://{trackingDomain}/cf/postback?cid={clickId}&payout={payout}&txid={orderId}
Parameter mapping (per ClickFlare’s S2S docs):
ClickFlare paramSourceNotes
cidClick_id captured on landerRequired. ClickFlare’s receiving-side parameter name (the value is the same click_id you tagged the lander with).
payoutOrder’s paid amount in major units (e.g. 49.99)Optional payoutValue override available in the integration form.
txidTagadaPay order id (ord_…)Distinguishes upsell / multi-step conversions for the same visitor.

Optional Settings

The CRM form exposes two optional fields:
  • Conversion type — leave blank. The S2S endpoint doesn’t accept a ct parameter; this field is reserved for trackers in the same family that do (Binom, RedTrack).
  • Fixed payout — if set, this number is sent as payout instead of the order’s paid amount. Useful when you want to attribute a fixed CPA value to ClickFlare regardless of cart total. Leave blank to use the actual amount paid.

How TagadaPay Identifies the Click

TagadaPay reads (in priority order, first non-empty wins):
  1. URL parameter cf_click_id
  2. URL parameter click_id
  3. Cookie cf_click_id
  4. Cookie cfclid
URL params win over cookies because they’re the freshest signal — a cookie can persist from a prior visit, but the URL reflects this session.

Troubleshooting

  1. Verify the tracking domain in TagadaPay matches the one in ClickFlare exactly (no https://, no trailing slash).
  2. Check the order’s customer record in TagadaPay’s CRM — metadata.queryParams and metadata.cookies should show one of the click_id signals (cf_click_id, click_id, etc.).
  3. If metadata is empty: the offer URL didn’t carry the click_id. Re-check ClickFlare’s offer URL setup and confirm the {click_id} token resolves on click.
  4. If metadata has the click_id but ClickFlare shows nothing: the click_id is stale or expired (ClickFlare’s default click TTL is 30 days). Try a fresh click.
Check the integration form’s Fixed payout field — if it’s set to 0, every conversion is reported with zero revenue. Either clear the field (defaults to the order’s paid amount) or set the correct fixed CPA.
You don’t need to. The server-side path is more reliable. If you really must (e.g., you’re testing without a TagadaPay-hosted checkout), use the merchant snippet from Script Injection Examples — it points to the client-side pixel (/cf/cv?click_id=…&ct=sale) which is a different endpoint than the S2S one this integration uses.
