Clickbank Instant Notification

February 28, 2008

Clickbank is strange that way. Everyone else would have called it an API. But it seems now that you can have sales notifications sent to a url specified by you. It uses a POST function.

Here is how it works:

  1. An action occurs in the ClickBank system (ex sale, rebill, refund, etc)
  2. ClickBank posts FORM parameters to a URL you specify
  3. ClickBank observes the server response
  4. A program you build processes the variables

This works right into my idea for a tag based contextual Clickbank widget. It would have to adjust itself based on sales and click through rate. Instant sales notifications would make that possible.

Here are more details.
