External services

This plugin facilitates connections to third-party analytics and marketing platforms to help you track user behavior and conversions. Depending on your configuration, the plugin may load scripts from and send data to the following services:

  • Meta (Facebook): When a Meta Pixel ID or Conversion API token is configured, the plugin connects to Meta to send page views, product interactions, and purchase events.

    • What is sent: Browser cookies (_fbc, _fbp), client IP address, HTTP user agent, current page URL, event metadata (value, currency, content IDs, content name, order ID). Under Advanced Matching, SHA256 hashed customer details (email, first name, last name, phone, external user ID) are also transmitted.
    • When is sent: Instantly upon user interaction (page load, search, click, add to cart, checkout start, purchase completion).
    • Service: Meta for Business
    • Terms of Use: Meta Business Tools Terms
    • Privacy Policy: Meta Privacy Policy
  • Google Analytics 4 (GA4): When configured, the plugin loads the gtag.js script from Google and sends ecommerce and page view data to Google Analytics.

    • What is sent: Page view details, screen resolution, user agent, client IP (processed by Google), and enhanced ecommerce data (item names, item IDs, price, quantity, category, total transaction values).
    • When is sent: Automatically when page loads, user searches, adds items to cart, or completes a purchase.
    • Service: Google Analytics
    • Terms of Use: Google Analytics Terms of Service
    • Privacy Policy: Google Privacy Policy
  • Google Tag Manager (GTM): When configured, the plugin injects the GTM container and pushes data to the browser’s dataLayer array.

  • Google Ads: When configured, the plugin loads Google Ads tracking scripts for conversion tracking, dynamic remarketing, and enhanced conversions.

    • What is sent: Conversion values, transaction IDs, currency, and unhashed customer data (email, phone number, address details) for Google Ads Enhanced Conversions if Advanced Matching is active.
    • When is sent: On page load for remarketing, and specifically upon checkout or purchase completion for conversions.
    • Service: Google Ads
    • Terms of Use: Google Ads Terms & Conditions
    • Privacy Policy: Google Privacy Policy

The plugin only connects to these services if you explicitly enable them and provide your specific tracking IDs or API tokens in the plugin settings. It does not send data to any hidden or undocumented third-party services.

FAQ

Does this work with WooCommerce?

Yes — install WooCommerce and all tracking fires automatically for the full customer journey.

How does CAPI deduplication work?

Each event generates a unique event_id. The same ID is sent with both the browser fbq() call and the server-side CAPI call. Meta automatically deduplicates them.

Is this GDPR compliant?

Yes — enable Consent Mode V2 in the settings and select your CMP provider. All tracking defaults to denied until the user consents.
