Why connect Shopify and Meta Ads

Shopify orders sit beside your Stripe payments, GA4 visits and ad clicks in one report. It fits into our conversion rate optimization work.

matching the records

How Shopify and Meta Ads records line up

Meta appends an fbclid parameter to ad clicks, and Shopify and Meta Ads can both keep it. A click in one tool can then be found again in the other.

Shopify and Meta Ads both store the customer's email address. askotter lowercases and trims it on both sides before matching, so the same person shows up as one customer across the two tools.

Shared between the two: the Meta click ID (fbclid), the customer email address and the UTM campaign tags.

What each tool sees on its ownShow less

Shopify on its own

Shopify sees the order and the landing page. It has no view of the ad impressions, emails or searches that came before that session.

Timing. Shopify writes each order the moment it is placed, including the landing page and referring site of the session that bought.

Access. Read-only access through the Shopify Admin API, approved from the store admin.

Meta Ads on its own

Meta sees who saw and clicked an ad. It cannot see a sale its pixel missed, and lead-form contacts stop being visible to it once they leave Facebook or Instagram.

Timing. Meta reports conversions under its own attribution setting, seven days after a click and one day after a view by default.

Access. The Meta Marketing API with read access to the ad account.
