Server-side tracking for WooCommerce.

Send your store’s events through a tracking server on your own domain, then on to Meta, Google Ads and GA4. Less data lost to ad blockers and browser limits, and one place to manage it all.

Is it worth it?

When server-side tracking makes sense

It isn’t for every store. It usually pays off when ad spend is meaningful and data loss is costing you.

  • You spend real money on Meta or Google ads every month
  • Your ad platforms report far fewer sales than WooCommerce
  • Many of your customers use iPhones and Safari
  • Several plugins each send their own tracking, and nothing matches
  • You want one setup that feeds Meta, Google Ads and GA4 together

If your spend is small, a clean browser setup is often enough. The free check will tell you honestly.

How it works

From audit to a working server setup

Audit

I review your plugins, tags and consent banner, and compare platform numbers with your orders.

Data layer

WooCommerce sends clean e-commerce events to Google Tag Manager, with order details and IDs.

Tracking server

A server-side GTM container on your own subdomain, such as data.yourstore.com, hosted on Stape or Google Cloud.

Connect and test

Meta Conversions API, Google Ads and GA4 are connected, deduplicated and tested with real orders.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is there an ongoing cost?

Yes, a small one. The tracking server needs hosting, and the cost depends on your traffic. I’ll recommend the right plan for your store before anything is set up.

Does server-side tracking get around cookie consent?

No. It should follow the same consent choices as your website, and I set it up that way.

Will it slow down my site?

It often helps, because fewer tracking scripts run in the visitor’s browser. Any plugins it replaces can be removed.

How long does it take?

Usually a few days once I have access, depending on your plugins and how many platforms you advertise on.

Do you work with Shopify too?

Yes. See Meta Conversions API for Shopify and GA4 e-commerce tracking.
