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 browserfbq()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.
