# Dr. Cash

> The article provides an overview of the integration between Dr. Cash and AnyTrack, highlighting how it enables secure transfer of conversion data from Dr. Cash to AnyTrack for optimization on platforms like Google Ads, Facebook, and TikTok. It explains the process of tracking traffic, engagements, and conversions, and how AnyTrack uses this data to enhance ROI for advertisers and earnings for publishers.

## Dr. Cash Integration Overview

Dr. Cash is a CPA network specializing in Health and Beauty offers worldwide, supporting COD, Trial, and Straight Sale models across dozens of GEOs. The Dr. Cash and AnyTrack integration connects your affiliate conversion data to AnyTrack through a Global Postback URL, so every conversion from any offer you promote is automatically tracked and forwarded to ad platforms like Google Ads, Facebook `Conversion API`, and TikTok API.

### How does the Dr. Cash AnyTrack integration work:

1. **Traffic**: When visitors land on your website, AnyTrack collects traffic source data and First Party data.
2. **Engagements**: When visitors click on your Dr. Cash affiliate links, AnyTrack does a few things:
   1. Collects granular data tied to the `OutboundClick`.
   2. Triggers Event Tracking API requests to your Tracking Tags and analytics.
3. **Conversions:** When visitors convert on the merchant's website, AnyTrack receives real time conversion data through Postback URL.
4. **Attribution:** AnyTrack processes the conversion data and reports it across various reporting sections of the AnyTrack Dashboard.
5. **`Conversion API`:** AnyTrack then sends your conversions to your **Ad Platforms' `Conversion API`** so you can feed your ad platform's Machine Learning, AI and automatic optimization according to 100% of your conversion data.

## Validate your integration

<Callout icon="🔎" theme="default">
  ### Install the AnyTrack Pixel Helper Extension

  Install the [AnyTrack Pixel Helper](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/anytrack-pixel-helper/ojmhkmdpagjeopleoeihbhgejcfoijjn) Chrome extension to verify the AnyTrack Tag is installed on your website. It also shows connected ad platforms and browser-side events. [View the Pixel Helper guide](/docs/anytrack-chrome-extension).
</Callout>

This section will enable you to validate the main aspects of your setup.

### Link tracking

Since Tracking starts when visitors click on offer links, you verify that your links are tracked and AutoTagged.

### AutoTag Methods

<Callout icon="🔥" theme="default">
  ### Reminder about AutoTag:

  **AutoTag** is a function that is enabled by default through the AnyTrack Tracking Tag, and that appends `sub1` & `click_id` data to affiliate links. Learn [more about AutoTag](/docs/autotag).
</Callout>

* **Default**: By default, AnyTrack automatically identifies and AutoTags Dr. Cash links found on your website.
* **AutoScan**: AnyTrack scans links that are embedded in redirects plugins and AutoTags them accordingly.
* **Manual**:
  * **Tracking Group Attribute**: You add the tracking group attribute to links according to their tracking requirements. For example: `data-tracking-group="drcash"` or `rel="drcash"`. More about [Tracking Group](/docs/tgid).
  * **Click ID Token:** You Manually append the `subid`: `&sub1=--CLICK-ID--` to the offer link.

Once the links are set up, you can check in your Dr. Cash account reports and see whether the `sub1` parameters are passed to the offer links.

**Here is an example of how you would manually update links from `drcash`:**

```html
<a href="https://example.foo/goto/drcash" data-tracking-group="drcash">Hover on the Dr. Cash Demo
Link to see the AnyTrack `click_id`</a>
```

<HTMLBlock html={"\n<a href=\"https://example.foo/goto/drcash\" data-tracking-group=\"drcash\">Hover on the Dr. Cash Demo Link to see the AnyTrack <code>click_id</code></a>\n"} />

> 📘 **Tracking**
>
> Tracking Group refers to the integration technology. For example, Dr. Cash <Glossary>Tracking Group</Glossary> tracking group is `drcash` and ClickBank is `ClickBank`. <Glossary>The Tracking Group</Glossary>

### Conversion Tracking

To validate your setup, you wait for a conversion or trigger a test conversion yourself and inspect the conversion logs.

    {
      question: "Can I import past conversions into AnyTrack?",
      answer: "No. AnyTrack can only ingest conversions that have been triggered following a visitor session on your website. Conversions attributed to traffic generated before AnyTrack was installed will not be tracked."
    },
    {
      question: "Can I track direct linking campaigns?",
      answer: "Yes, but this requires a custom setup. Please refer to the <a href='/docs/deeplink'>direct link tracking article</a>."
    },
    {
      question: "Can I use a different <code>subid</code> parameter than the one predefined by AnyTrack?",
      answer: "No. The integration requires the <code>sub1</code> parameter specifically."
    },
    {
      question: "Can I track conversions without the <code>click_id</code>?",
      answer: "No. The <code>click_id</code> passed to the Dr. Cash links via the <code>sub1</code> parameter is required to track conversions."
    },
    {
      question: "What do the different conversion statuses mean?",
      answer: "Dr. Cash sends four status values: <code>hold</code> (mapped to Lead), <code>approved</code> (mapped to CompleteRegistration), <code>rejected</code> (ignored), and <code>trash</code> (ignored). You can customize the event mapping in the Integration page."
    },
    {
      question: "The Conversion Event Name is not what I am expecting, how can I change it?",
      answer: "You can update the Event Mapping in the Integration page. Go to the Dr. Cash integration settings and adjust the <a href='/docs/event-mapping'>Event Mapping</a> to match your desired conversion events."
