Overview
This guide provides the steps to set up server-to-server (S2S) conversion tracking between Rakuten and Everflow. The process involves two key steps: configuring your Offer landing page URL to pass a transaction ID to Rakuten, and then using a Rakuten API request to set up your Everflow postback URL.
Audience: This guide is intended for users familiar with making API requests, such as a Developer or technical marketer.

Step 2: Advertiser Postback Setup via API
Next, you will configure your postback in Rakuten. This allows Rakuten to automatically notify Everflow when a conversion occurs. This is done by making a POST API request to the Rakuten endpoint.
