Facebook Custom Conversions For Purchase

[BarneyBarnes]

Hi 

I've set up a Facebook Pixel on my Shopify Store and Purchases are coming in and tracking fine.

I've added a straightforward Purchases pixel to the store as I only have one Collection on there, so I don't need to differentiate between Purchases.

However, tomorrow I need to add a different Collection on there, so need purchases ringfenced on Facebook via the different ad sets.

I've experimented with getting a Custom Conversion for Purchases on specific items OR collections set up and they aren't tracking.

Using the following events and rules:

Rule: Include Purchase events where content_type equals product_group

I get every Purchase on the store.

Rule: Include Purchase events where URL contains - (then I add the list of URL suffixes). 

I get nothing

Include Purchase events where content_ids equals 1905000710214 or 1909068365894 or 1911144382534 or 1909274312774

I get nothing.

I believe that the Purchase pixel fires off on a page after checkout. How do I Create a Custom Conversion so that it relays Purchase information for specific Product / Products? 

If this is not possible, would you recommend I use the Add To Cart event linked to content_ids? That's far from ideal, as I need Purchases, but I'm running out of time.

Thanks

Hi,

I have had success by doing the following: 

Instead of - Include Purchase events where content_ids equals 1905000710214 or 1909068365894 or 1911144382534 or 1909274312774

Do - Include Purchase events where content_ids contains  1905000710214 or 1909068365894 or 1911144382534 or 1909274312774

Thank you my friend -- seems to do the trick!!!

Use the Facebook Pixel to help see what the actual content_ids is.

Looking at one store, I don't see the viewcontent event firing on collections. Going to product pages, the value is [65901461517]. You probably need to include the opening and closing brackets if you're using equals? I know it's basic logic for an array, but maybe Facebook's logic is otherwise.

@BarneyBarnes 

Can you explain to me how you found the content IDs?

Thanks!!

Hi Dan

Download Facebook Pixel Helper on Chrome.

Go to the Product Page.

Click the Helper.

Under View Content you'll see the content ID.

"content_ids: [4479601410163]"

Set up a Custom Conversion and Conversion Event 'Purchase".

This custom conversion must meet all of these rules:

Event Paramenters > Content ID > Contains.

Bang in your content IDs.

Jobs a good'un!
