https://ACCOUNT_NAME.pay.clickbank.net/?cbitems=1234&ef-transaction-id={transaction_id}
Note: While it isn't necessary, you can pass the Everflow Transaction ID as the 'vtid' parameter as well, which will make it easier to locate it in your ClickBank reporting. In this case, the Base Destination URL would look something like this:
https://ACCOUNT_NAME.pay.clickbank.net/?cbitems=1234&ef-transaction-id={transaction_id}&vtid={transaction_id}

IMPORTANT NOTES for ClickBank Integration
Everflow will only process INS that have a "transaction_type" of SALE or BILL, both of which will result in a base conversion on your offer. The 'sale_amount' in Everflow is based on the "totalOrderAmount" field in the ClickBank INS.
If you would prefer to populate 'sale_amount' with "totalAccountAmount" rather than "totalOrderAmount," please reach out to our Customer Success team. They can assist with switching the tag value to pull through the "totalAccountAmount" macro instead of the default "totalOrderAmount".
TEST, TEST_BILL and TEST_SALE events will also be processed, but will result in base Conversions for which we will force a Payout & Revenue of $0. We will add an 'adv1' value of "clickbank_test" to make it easier to understand why the Payout & Revenue are $0.
