titleWhy is both frontend and backend tracking recommended for the purchase event?

Because of the following situations, both frontend and backend purchase are recommended:

  • The frontend purchase is not always triggered because the thank you page is not loaded

  • Because of some Adblockers the cookies are not accepted and therefore no frontend events are sent to Squeezely

In the example below the advantage of sending both is shown:

Frontend purchase only

Frontend & Backend purchase

  1. Profile A does a purchase

  2. Profile A clicks away the thank you page before it is loaded = no frontend purchase, so no purchase

  1. Profile B will make a purchase

  2. Profile B clicks away the thank you page before it loads = no frontend purchase

  3. Information from the order system that Profile B has made a purchase = backend purchase


Content

In the backend purchase event, the following fields will be sent as a minimum:

Field label

Field content

event

Purchase

email

Email address of the profile

orderid

Id of the order

products

id

Id of the purchased product

quantity

Note: the product id in the event should match the SKU of the product in Squeezely!

In the following circumstances more fields are required:

  1. Are multiple languages used? → Then also send language into the product array

  2. Are multiple currencies used? → add currency to the event

Extra
