Your goal will usually be one of:

  • Connect Ads Platform properly
  • Set up my primary ad platform purchase tracking

Instead of connecting everything at once:

Enable purchase tracking

The purchase event is the most important signal.

  • Eliminate duplicate or missing purchase events
  • Ensure accurate revenue and transaction values
  • Strengthen optimization signals

Reliable purchase tracking foundation.

Validate

This step is where most merchants get stuck.
