👉 Integration Checklist

AnyTrack account:

• Do you see the conversions in AnyTrack? Check the integration Event Log.
• In your campaign report, do you see UTM parameters and associated values?
• Did you enable the Facebook Conversion API?
• Is your conversion event mapping set to send the conversions you want to the Facebook API?

Shopify Account:

• Did you disable/disconnect Facebook and Google pixels from your store?
• Did you add the webhooks (with the "latest" api version)
• Did you add the AnyTrack tag to your header script?

Facebook Ads account:

• Did you connect with the correct pixel ID?
• Are you using the Facebook Tracking URL template provided by AnyTrack? (how to verify your ads)
• Did you verify your domain with Facebook Business Manager
• Do you have a domain allow list? Are you seeing domains that shouldn't be there?
• Did you select your 8 conversion events?

• Make sure you have selected the latest webhook version.

Client Side Tracking Settings

• Client side tracking relates to website events that can be tracked via the AnyTrack Tag. For example:  AddToCart, or OutboundClick, or FormSubmit.
• Client Side Tracking gives you more control over the Checkout Flow events and lets you enrich your ad pixel with more data points that will be later used for server-side tracking and attribution. 

✅ URL parameter - allows AnyTrack to pass and read unique tracking parameters through your funnel

✅ Hidden parameter - AnyTrack passes a unique tracking parameter into the cart's standard hidden fields. This option enables you to guarantee maximum tracking accuracy.

Client Side Integration Events

• Client Side Tracking has proven to be faulty due to ad blockers and other privacy-focused browsers. AnyTrack uses Server Side integration to receive and send events, so you can guarantee 100% tracked conversions. 
• Each method has its benefits, but since every shop is different, you have the ability to modify these settings to accommodate your business needs and requirements.

Disconnect the direct Shopify Integration with Facebook

• If your Facebook Event Manager shows an alert that you are sending duplicate conversions or that you're not using the right parameters to deduplicate conversions, it means that more than one system is sending conversions to the Facebook Pixel - through the JS tag or conversion API.

• Since AnyTrack and Shopify use a different deduplication event_id, Facebook will not be able to deduplicate the conversions.
• You should 👉 disable the Facebook Conversion API from within your Shopify App

I disconnected Facebook tracking, and I still see duplications in the event manager.

• If you have no Facebook tracking and you still see duplication, check if the "Track events automatically without code" feature is turned on in Facebook.
  1.  Go to event manager on the Facebook platform
  2. Click on the relevant pixel
  3. Go to settings
  4. Scroll down and make sure that the next option is OFF:

eCommerce conversions are not showing up in Google Analytics

In Google Analytics:

• Make sure you've enabled both eCommerce and enhanced eCommerce
• 👉 Admin > View Settings > eCommerce

In AnyTrack:

• Make sure you have enabled the Server-Side Tracking from the Google Analytics Integration.
• Make sure you have enabled the enhanced eCommerce option

Why should I also connect to Google Analytics?

• If you run campaigns on Google Ads
• If you want to see your conversions in Google Analytics (faster than in Facebook Ads)
• If you want to see a lifetime value of your campaigns - regardless of the traffic sources.
• If you want to create custom audiences out of any traffic sources and retarget on Google Ads Display, youtube, or Gmail.

I use a custom Shopify App for my checkout. Does AnyTrack support custom Shopify Apps?

• Yes, in most cases.
• If you see some discrepancies, please contact support so we can make the necessary adjustments.

I am using email marketing software. Does AnyTrack track email campaigns?

• Yes. You will be able to see the conversions triggered by your email campaigns in Anytrack.
• You must append standard UTM parameters to your email campaigns.

Why do I have a low Click ID (fbc) match rate?

• AnyTrack sends ALL conversion data to the Facebook Conversion API (including organic, google etc…).
• When it’s from Facebook traffic it will be sent with the fbc parameter - if not, then only the fbp parameter is sent.
• It's likely that most of your traffic doesn’t come from Facebook - hence there’s no fbclid parameter to capture.

• Refer to Google Analytics attribution reports to uncover which other traffic sources might be responsible for your conversions
