Can I use Google Tag Manager to trigger AnyTrack Event Snippets?

Yes! If you've already mapped the eCommerce dataLayer through Google Tag Manager , you can use these variables with the AnyTrack event snippets. This works with Shopware, BigCommerce, Adobe Commerce (Magento), and other platforms that support GTM dataLayer.

What are all the supported parameters I can pass to AnyTrack?

You can find all supported parameters in the Event Attributes documentation. This includes customer data , product data , and event metadata. All parameters are optional except click_id which is required for attribution.

How do I verify that my integration is properly implemented?

Check the Integration Event Log in your AnyTrack dashboard. You should see all event parameters appear in real-time after triggering an event (e.g., completing a test purchase). Verify that customer data, product details, and the click_id are present.

How does AnyTrack prevent duplicate conversions?

Use the transactionId parameter with a unique order ID for each purchase. AnyTrack automatically deduplicates conversions with matching transaction IDs. See the Event Attributes guide for implementation details.

Should I disconnect my direct Facebook pixel integration?

Yes. Once you've integrated AnyTrack, disconnect any other direct ad integrations to avoid sending duplicate data to your ad platforms. AnyTrack handles all pixel delivery and server-side event sync automatically.

Can I connect an ad platform that is not integrated with AnyTrack?

Yes. Follow the guidelines in the Other Ad Networks documentation to connect ad platforms that don't have pre-built integrations.

What if I can't access the click_id from my checkout page?

The click_id can be passed through your checkout flow in several ways: URL parameter, hidden form field, session storage, or cookie. The AnyTrack tag automatically generates and stores the click_id . See the Click ID guide for implementation methods. If your platform doesn't support passing the click_id , you can use the refId parameter with your own identifier.

How to Integrate AnyTrack with Your eCommerce Platform

This guide shows you how to integrate any eCommerce platform with AnyTrack and leverage comprehensive tracking and attribution features.

❗️
Developer Required
These guidelines require implementation by a skilled developer with access to your platform's codebase or API. Do not attempt to implement these guidelines without the appropriate knowledge and skillset.
If you don't have access to development resources, or if your developer is not up to the task, contact us for a referral to a vetted developer.

Requirements

Before starting, you'll need:

An AnyTrack account with a Personal or Advanced plan
Access to your platform back-end and API
Access to your website code
Recommended: Google Tag Manager

Integration Overview

Key Components

To integrate your eCommerce platform with AnyTrack, you'll need to implement:

1. AnyTrack Tracking Tag

The Tracking Tag must be installed on all pages of your shop to capture events, collect data, and enable attribution.

2. Click ID Parameter

The click_id is a unique identifier that AnyTrack auto-generates for every visitor. This enables AnyTrack to:

Attribute events to specific visitors
Identify customers across sessions
Tie first-party data collected through the customer journey
Connect conversions to marketing channels and campaigns

3. Customer Data

Collect and send customer attributes such as:

Email, name, phone number
Billing and shipping address
City, state, country, zipcode

4. Product Data

Capture product attributes including:

Product ID (SKU)
Product name
Price and currency
Quantity
Brand and category

5. Purchase Activity

Track purchase events with complete order details and transaction data.

👍
Good to know
All events sent to AnyTrack (via JS or server-side API) are automatically formatted and standardized according to ad pixel, API, and analytics requirements.

Tracking Methods: Client-Side vs Server-Side

AnyTrack supports two complementary tracking methods. Understanding when to use each ensures the highest attribution and data collection quality.

Client-Side Tracking (JavaScript Tag)

Use the AnyTrack Tag to track customer journey events:

🚧
Remember
The AnyTrack Tracking tag must be in the <head> section of the page for Event Snippets to work.

Event Name	When to Track	Code Example
`ViewContent`	Customer views a product	`AnyTrack('trigger', 'ViewContent');`
`AddToCart`	Customer adds a product to cart	`AnyTrack('trigger', 'AddToCart');`
`InitiateCheckout`	Customer starts checkout	`AnyTrack('trigger', 'InitiateCheckout');`
`Purchase`	Customer completes purchase	`AnyTrack('trigger', 'Purchase');`

Server-Side Tracking (Webhooks)

Use server-side tracking for events triggered on your back-end:

When to Use Server-Side:

Purchase events from your order processing system
Customer creation in your platform
Newsletter subscription confirmations

How Server-Side Works:

Visitor adds product to cart → AnyTrack Tag triggers event and generates click_id
Your cart stores the click_id parameter
Purchase triggers on your server → Platform calls AnyTrack webhook with purchase data INCLUDING THE click_id
AnyTrack ingests the data and sends conversion to ad platforms

🚧
Critical
The click_id parameter generated during website events must be passed back to AnyTrack in the webhook payload. Without the click_id, AnyTrack cannot attribute the conversion to the correct campaign.

Learn more in the Server-Side Tracking guide.

Implementation Guide

Step 1: Install AnyTrack Tracking Tag

Install the AnyTrack Tag in the <head> section of all pages:

<!-- AnyTrack Tracking Code -->
<script>!function(e,t,n,s,a){(a=t.createElement(n)).async=!0,a.src="https://assets.anytrack.io/:PROPERTYID.js",(t=t.getElementsByTagName(n)[0]).parentNode.insertBefore(a,t),e[s]=e[s]||function(){(e[s].q=e[s].q||[]).push(arguments)}}(window,document,"script","AnyTrack");</script>
<!-- End AnyTrack Tracking Code -->

Replace :PROPERTYID with your actual Property ID from the AnyTrack dashboard.

Step 2: Track Customer Journey Events

Implement JavaScript event tracking for customer journey milestones.

ViewContent Event

Track when customers view product pages:

AnyTrack('trigger', 'ViewContent', {
  items: [{
    id: '20291',
    name: 'Sony MDRZX110/BLK ZX Series Stereo Headphones',
    price: 19.9,
    currency: 'USD',
    brand: 'Sony',
    quantity: 1
  }]
});

AddToCart Event

Track when customers add products to their cart:

AnyTrack('trigger', 'AddToCart', {
  items: [{
    id: '20291',
    name: 'Sony MDRZX110/BLK ZX Series Stereo Headphones',
    price: 19.9,
    currency: 'USD',
    brand: 'Sony',
    quantity: 1
  }]
});

InitiateCheckout Event

Track when customers start the checkout process:

AnyTrack('trigger', 'InitiateCheckout', {
  cartId: 'cart_abc123',
  quantity: 3,
  cartSubTotal: 30.00,
  currency: 'USD',
  orderTotal: 30.00,
  items: [{
    id: '20291',
    name: 'Sony MDRZX110/BLK',
    price: 10.00,
    currency: 'USD',
    brand: 'Sony',
    quantity: 1
  }, {
    id: '20292',
    name: 'Beats Headphones',
    price: 10.00,
    currency: 'USD',
    brand: 'Beats',
    quantity: 2
  }]
});

AddPaymentInfo Event

Track when customers enter payment information:

AnyTrack('trigger', 'AddPaymentInfo', {
  customerId: 'cus12389',
  email: '[email protected]',
  fullName: 'John Smith',
  paymentMethod: {
    type: 'card',
    gateway: 'stripe',
    provider: 'visa',
    digits: '1984',
    expiry: '01/24',
    zipcode: '91908'
  },
  billingAddress: {
    address: 'Sunset Blvd 1',
    city: 'Los Angeles',
    zipcode: '91908',
    country: 'US'
  },
  shippingAddress: {
    address: 'Via Milano 1',
    city: 'Roma',
    zipcode: '829876',
    country: 'Italy'
  },
  cartId: 'cart_abc123',
  quantity: 3,
  cartTotal: 30.00,
  currency: 'USD',
  tax: 5.00,
  shipping: 37.00,
  orderTotal: 72.00,
  items: [{
    id: '20291',
    name: 'Sony MDRZX110/BLK',
    price: 10.00,
    currency: 'USD',
    brand: 'Sony',
    quantity: 1
  }, {
    id: '20292',
    name: 'Beats Headphones',
    price: 10.00,
    currency: 'USD',
    brand: 'Beats',
    quantity: 2
  }]
});

Step 3: Track Purchase Events (Server-Side)

Purchase events should be sent via server-side tracking from your back-end.

Create Custom Integration

Navigate to AnyTrack Dashboard → Integrations → Create Custom Integration
Enter required fields (you can use placeholder values initially)
Save the integration to generate your postback URL
Copy the postback URL (format: https://t1.anytrack.io/:ACCOUNTID/collect/custom-integration)
Remove query parameters from the URL (keep only up to /custom-integration)

Server-Side Purchase Event

Send purchase data from your server to AnyTrack:

Method 1: Direct HTTP POST

Send a POST request to your postback URL with this JSON payload:

{
  "event_name": "Purchase",
  "click_id": "f8e3bf8dfba8b51ce3340",
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "fullName": "John Smith",
  "phone": "+1919875666",
  "country": "US",
  "city": "Los Angeles",
  "state": "CA",
  "zipcode": "91908",
  "address": "Sunset Blvd 1",
  "items": [{
    "id": "20291",
    "name": "Sony MDRZX110/BLK",
    "quantity": 1,
    "price": 20.00,
    "brand": "Sony"
  }, {
    "id": "49292",
    "name": "Beats Headphones",
    "quantity": 1,
    "price": 100.00,
    "brand": "Beats"
  }],
  "currency": "USD",
  "value": 120.00,
  "taxPrice": 10.00,
  "shippingPrice": 0.00,
  "transactionId": "order_24356562534585",
  "timestamp": 1689982766
}

Method 2: JavaScript Postback (Client-Side)

If you need to send purchase data from the browser:

<script>
  AnyTrack('postback', 'https://t1.anytrack.io/:ACCOUNTID/collect/custom-integration?click_id=--CLICK-ID--', {
    event_name: "Purchase",
    cartId: "cart_abc123",
    timestamp: 1689982766,
    customerId: "cus12389",
    email: "[email protected]",
    fullName: "John Smith",
    order_id: "oid1763",
    transactionId: "order_as8d7f8asd7fa8sdf7", // Required for deduplication
    billingAddress: {
      address: "Sunset Blvd 1",
      city: "Los Angeles",
      zipcode: "91908",
      country: "US"
    },
    shippingAddress: {
      address: "Via Milano 1",
      city: "Roma",
      zipcode: "829876",
      country: "Italy"
    },
    quantity: 3,
    cartTotal: 30.00,
    currency: "USD",
    orderTotal: 72.00,
    tax: 5.00,
    shipping: 37.00,
    items: [{
      id: "20291",
      name: "Sony MDRZX110/BLK",
      price: 10.00,
      currency: "USD",
      brand: "Sony",
      quantity: 1
    }, {
      id: "20292",
      name: "Beats Headphones",
      price: 10.00,
      currency: "USD",
      brand: "Beats",
      quantity: 2
    }]
  });
</script>

❗️
Important Notes

Remove attributes you don't have access to (e.g., if you don't have a cartId, remove it from the payload)

The snippet will not work unless the AnyTrack tracking tag fires first

If using Google Tag Manager, add sequential trigger ordering to ensure AnyTrack tag fires before the postback

Event Attributes Reference

For complete details on all supported parameters, see the Event Attributes documentation.

Key attribute categories:

Customer Data - Email, phone, name, location
Product Data - SKU, price, quantity, brand
Event Data - Transaction ID, timestamp, currency

Verification

After implementing tracking, verify your integration is working:

1. Check Event Log

Go to AnyTrack Dashboard → Integrations → Your Custom Integration → Event Log

You should see events flowing in real-time with all event parameters.

2. Test Purchase Flow

Complete a test purchase on your site
Check the Event Log for the Purchase event
Verify all parameters are present (email, revenue, products, click_id)
Confirm event appears in Conversions Report

3. Verify Ad Platform Sync

Wait 15-20 minutes after test purchase
Check Facebook Events Manager or Google Ads for the conversion
Verify Event Match Quality shows high match rate
