Track Server-Side Facebook Ad Conversions

What is it & why you need it


You can now track exact conversions from your Facebook ad campaigns with our Facebook Server-Side Conversion.


With this feature, you’ll be able to track every purchase made through facebook ads. This will not only make Facebook show your ads to more people, but also to people more likely to convert.


So, if you're running Facebook Ads to sell courses, coaching, or digital products — this feature will significantly boost your ability to scale profitably and track real business results.



How it works


All you have to do is provide the Pixel ID and the Access Token of the pixel. And then you can track purchases made through your facebook ads.


With every purchase, EzyCourse will automatically send a purchase event to Facebook using your Pixel ID and Access Token. The information sent will typically be product ID, name, price, payment gateway used, etc.


You can view the tracking and get all the analytics from your facebook business account.



How to get started using it


First, log in to your Meta Business Account or create one if you do not have any. From there, go to the Settings menu from the left sidebar.

Here, you can add a new Pixel. If you wish to use an existing Pixel, then simply select the pixel and copy the Pixel ID.

Before we see where you have to paste the Pixel ID on your EzyCourse dashboard, let’s first see where to get the Access Token from.


Go to the events manager page. You can go from right where you copied the Pixel ID.
