## Description

Adds the OpenAI Ads Measurement Pixel to your site and sends the same conversions

from your server through the Conversions API (CAPI), so a conversion measured in
both places is counted once rather than twice.

OpenAI Ads are the ads that run in ChatGPT. If you buy them, this is how your
 site
tells OpenAI which visits turned into leads, orders or registrations – in the browser,
on the server, or both.

**This is an independent community integration.** It is not created, certified,

endorsed or supported by OpenAI. “OpenAI” and “ChatGPT” are trademarks of OpenAI.

#### What it does

 * Loads the official OpenAI Ads Pixel, once, in your site head.
 * Sends server-side conversions through the Conversions API, deduplicated against
   
   the browser half by a shared event id.
 * Hashes email addresses, phone numbers and names with SHA-256 before they leave
   
   your server, using the normalization OpenAI documents.
 * Strips query strings from the page address, so search terms and password-reset
   
   tokens do not reach an ad platform.
 * Defers to your existing consent mechanism, so GDPR and ePrivacy choices your
   
   site already collects are the ones that decide. It ships no cookie banner.
 * Never makes the visitor wait: conversions go out after the page does, handed 
   to
    Action Scheduler where the site has it.

#### Integrations

Contact Form 7, Elementor Forms, Gravity Forms, WPForms, Fluent Forms and Ninja

Forms are detected automatically. A lead is recorded when the submission is accepted,
never when the button is clicked. Contact Form 7 and Elementor also fire the matching
browser event, sharing one event id.

For ecommerce, **WooCommerce** measures product views, add to cart, checkout
 start
and paid orders. A purchase is reported only once payment is confirmed – never for
a pending, failed or cancelled order – and never twice, however many times the gateway
or a webhook triggers it. Amounts use the currency’s own minor unit.

**Easy Digital Downloads** reports a purchase once payment completes.
 **WooCommerce
Subscriptions** reports trial_started or subscription_created. **WordPress registration**
reports registration_completed, off by default because user_register also fires 
for an administrator adding a colleague.

Each can be switched off under OpenAI Ads -> Integrations.

#### Tag manager endpoint

Optional, off by default. Lets Google Tag Manager hand a conversion to your site,

which forwards it to OpenAI – server-side measurement without a paid GTM server 
container. Protected by a generated secret.

#### For developers

Record a conversion at a confirmed boundary:

    ```
    openai_ads_track( 'lead_created', [], [ 'event_id' => $lead_id, 'user' => [ 'email' => $email ] ] );
    ```

Also `openai_ads_event_id()`, `openai_ads_pixel_event()`, `openai_ads_hash_user()`,

openai_ads_image_tag() and `openai_ads_is_configured()`, plus filters and actions
for consent, event data, identity and integrations. Every event OpenAI documents
for the web is supported, plus custom.

### External services

This plugin connects to OpenAI in order to measure advertising conversions. That

is its entire purpose, and nothing happens until you enter a Pixel ID or an API 
key.

#### Which services, and only which

Three addresses, all of them OpenAI’s:

 * https://bzrcdn.openai.com/sdk/oaiq.min.js – the browser SDK, when the Pixel is
   on
 * https://bzr.openai.com/v1/events – the Conversions API, from your server
 * https://bzr.openai.com/v1/sdk/events – the image tag, only if you call it

There is no fourth. The plugin sends nothing to its author or to any analytics,

telemetry or licensing service.

#### 1. The OpenAI Ads Measurement Pixel

When the Pixel is on, the plugin loads https://bzrcdn.openai.com/sdk/oaiq.min.js

into your pages and initializes it with your public Pixel ID. That script is written
and hosted by OpenAI. It sets first-party cookies named __oppref and __obref to 
remember which advertisement a visitor arrived from.

WHAT IS SENT: the event name, a deduplication id, the page address, the amount and

currency where the event carries one, and – only when your site supplies it – identity
as irreversible SHA-256 hashes. It runs in the visitor’s browser, so their IP address
and user agent reach OpenAI as part of the request. A commerce event also carries
the basket: each item’s SKU or product id, name, quantity, line price and variation
attributes. Product names are not hashed: hashing identifies a person.

WHEN: on any page view, once you have enabled the Pixel.

#### 2. The OpenAI Ads Conversions API

When server-side events are on, your server sends conversions to
 https://bzr.openai.
com/v1/events using the API key you provide.

WHAT IS SENT: the same event data as above, including the basket detail, plus the

visitor’s IP address and user agent, the two attribution values read from the __oppref
and __obref cookies, and the page address the conversion happened on. Email addresses,
phone numbers, names and customer ids are hashed with SHA-256 on your server before
they leave it – the raw values are never transmitted.

WHEN: after a conversion your site confirms – a paid order, an accepted form
 submission–
and never on a page view.

#### 3. The image tag

Only if you call openai_ads_image_tag() yourself. It requests a 1×1 image from
 
https://bzr.openai.com/v1/sdk/events, carrying the event name, the deduplication
id and the amount – and no personal data of any kind, by design.

#### Terms and privacy

OpenAI’s terms: https://openai.com/policies/
 OpenAI’s privacy policy: https://openai.
com/policies/privacy-policy/ Advertising documentation: https://developers.openai.
com/ads/

#### Your responsibilities

Sending a visitor’s data to OpenAI is a disclosure to a third party. You are
 responsible
for saying so in your own privacy policy and for obtaining consent where the law
requires it. The plugin adds suggested wording under Tools -> Privacy for you to
adapt.

The plugin helps rather than decides. It detects a consent plugin – the WP Consent

API and Complianz are read directly – and when consent for the “marketing” category
is refused, no Pixel is loaded and no event is constructed. If it finds no consent
mechanism at all it measures everybody, and says so on its settings screen. That
default is deliberate: a plugin that silently measured nothing would leave you hunting
for the fault.

#### What is NOT sent

 * No raw email address, phone number or name. Ever. Only SHA-256 hashes.
 * No query strings from your page addresses by default.
 * No data at all until you enter credentials, and none for a visitor who has
    refused
   marketing consent.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate the plugin.
 2. Go to OpenAI Ads in the admin menu and enter your Pixel ID and Conversions API 
    key.
 3. Open Integrations and read what the Consent section reports. If it found none, 
    decide what you want before going further.
 4. Use “Send a test event” on the General screen. It uses the API’s validation mode,
    so no fake conversion is recorded.

Nothing requires editing a file. To keep credentials out of the database, define
them as constants in wp-config.php instead.

## FAQ

### What does deduplication actually do?

A purchase measured in the browser and again on the server is one purchase, but

two reports. Both halves send one event id, so OpenAI counts one conversion.

### Do I need the Conversions API key, or is the Pixel enough?

The Pixel alone works, and needs only a Pixel ID. It is also the half an ad
 blocker
or a failed script can remove. The API key adds the server-side half, which nothing
in the browser can block – and because the two are deduplicated, adding it inflates
nothing.

### I have no cookie banner. What happens?

Everything is measured, and the settings screen tells you so in as many words.
 
That default is deliberate: the alternative is a plugin that silently measures nothing
while you hunt for the fault. Install a banner supporting the WP Consent API and
it is used automatically.

### Can I use this with Google Tag Manager?

Yes, and without a paid server-side container. Switch on the collection endpoint

and point a tag at it; the API key never leaves your server.

### Does this slow down my site? Do I need WooCommerce?

No, and no. Conversions are never sent while the visitor is waiting, and
 WooCommerce
is optional – where it is installed, the plugin reuses its queue.

### Will a measurement failure break my checkout?

No. If reporting fails the plugin logs it and moves on. The order, form submission

or registration still completes.

### Is my API key exposed?

No. It is used only server-side and is never printed into a page. The plugin’s test

suite asserts this.

## Changelog

#### 0.3.0

 * Renamed to Webaround Pixel and Conversions API for OpenAI Ads. Your settings,
   
   and anything built on the openai_ads_* functions and hooks, are unaffected – 
   but the address of the settings screen changed, so update a bookmark.
 * Scripts are now registered with WordPress rather than printed into the page,
   
   which lets caching and optimisation plugins see them.
 * Translations now come from translate.wordpress.org instead of being bundled.

#### 0.2.1

 * Fixed: the three consent-mode labels on the settings screen were never
    translatable,
   so they stayed English in every language.
 * Clean pass of the official Plugin Check tool.

#### 0.2.0

 * Translated into Bulgarian, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Polish,
    
   Portuguese, Romanian and Spanish.
 * Suggested privacy policy wording now appears under Tools -> Privacy.
 * Corrected this readme: with no consent mechanism installed the plugin measures
   
   everybody and says so on its settings screen. A section claimed otherwise.

#### 0.1.2

 * The settings moved into their own menu: General, Integrations, Tag manager.
 * Fixed: saving one settings screen could blank the settings on another.

#### 0.1.1

 * No change to this plugin.

#### 0.1.0

 * First release: Pixel, Conversions API, deduplication and the first three
    integrations.
