META CONVERSIONS API

Meta Conversions API Setup for Advertisers

We connect your site or store to the Meta Conversions API so key conversions reach Meta from your server as well as the browser. Every event carries an event ID for deduplication and the customer parameters Meta uses for matching. For advertisers who want Events Manager to reflect real orders and leads.

THE PROBLEM

Why Meta Is Not Seeing All of Your Conversions

A pixel-only setup depends on the browser. A rushed Conversions API setup often creates new problems, such as double counting or server events that carry almost no customer data.

Blocked Browser Events

Ad blockers and browser privacy features stop some pixel requests, so conversions happen but Meta never hears about them.

Double Counted Purchases

Server and browser events sent without a matching event_id and event_name are counted as two separate conversions.

Server Events With Little Data

CAPI events without hashed email, phone, fbp or fbc get low match quality and help Meta far less than they should.

WHAT WE IMPLEMENT

What We Build Into Your Conversions API Setup

The focus is on what Meta needs from each event: the right event name, a shared ID with the pixel, and enough customer information to match the conversion to an ad viewer.

01

Conversion Event Selection

We decide which events go through CAPI, usually Purchase, Lead and other events you optimize for.

02

Event ID Deduplication

A shared event_id generated once and sent with both the pixel and the server event.

03

Customer Information Parameters

Hashed em, ph, fn, ln and external_id, plus client IP address and user agent, sent where available.

04

fbp and fbc Forwarding

The browser ID cookie and click ID captured on site and passed with each server event.

05

Integration Method

Native partner integration, CAPI Gateway or server-side GTM chosen to suit your platform.

06

Event Match Quality Review

Match quality and deduplication checked per event in Events Manager after launch.

HOW IT WORKS

How a Conversion Reaches Meta Twice and Counts Once

The same conversion is sent from the browser and the server with one shared event ID. Meta keeps one and uses the richer customer data for matching.

01
Conversion

Order placed or lead submitted

02
Event ID Created

One ID shared by browser and server

03
Pixel Event

Browser sends event with fbp and fbc

04
Server Event

CAPI sends event with hashed customer data

05
Meta Deduplication

Matching event_name and event_id merged

06
Ads Optimization

One conversion attributed to the ad

How does Meta deduplicate pixel and CAPI events?

Meta compares the event_name and event_id of browser and server events. When both match within the deduplication window, it keeps one event. The key is generating the event ID once, on the page, and passing that same value to both the pixel and the server request.

It depends on your platform and your other tracking. Shopify and some other platforms have native partner integrations. CAPI Gateway suits advertisers who want a managed option. Server-side GTM suits businesses that also send server data to GA4 or Google Ads. We recommend one and explain why.

This service is about what Meta receives: which events, how they deduplicate and how well they match. Our server-side tracking category covers the infrastructure behind it, such as hosting and running a server-side GTM container. Many clients need only this service, others need both.

Yes. CAPI accepts events that happen outside the website, such as a lead marked qualified in your CRM or a sale closed by phone. We can send those with the customer data you hold so Meta can link them back to ad interactions.

Customer information such as email and phone is normalized and hashed with SHA-256 before it is sent, as Meta requires. We only send fields you collect with a lawful basis and connect sending to your consent setup where needed.

We cannot promise a score. Match quality depends on what data your visitors provide and what you are permitted to send. We make sure every available parameter is sent correctly and show you which remaining fields could be added.
