  "conditions": {
    "devices": ["mobile"]
  },

Step 3: Track Conversions

Add our tracking pixel to your destination page: 
<!-- Add to your thank-you or conversion page -->
<script src="https://cdn.linquid.io/pixel.js"></script>
<script>
  linquid.track('conversion', {
    value: 99.99,
    currency: 'USD'
  });
</script>
Or use server-to-server postback: 
curl -X POST https://api.linquid.io/conversions/s2s \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "click_id": "{{click_id}}",
    "event": "purchase",
    "value": 99.99
  }'

​
Step 4: View Analytics

Go to the Analytics tab to see:
  • Total clicks and unique visitors
  • Geographic distribution
  • Device breakdown
  • Conversion rates and revenue
  • Top performing links

​
