The Problem
What Meta Pixel solves.
Meta events are missing, incomplete, or duplicated
Browser-only tracking misses iOS-blocked events
Product feed setup for Meta Catalog is confusing
Hard to verify whether Pixel is firing correctly
Features
Everything included in Meta Pixel.
Meta Pixel
Meta Conversion API
Meta Conversion API helps Shopify merchants send server-side events to Meta, supporting more reliable event tracking alongside browser pixel events.
Conversion API (CAPI) sends events directly from Shopify servers to Meta, bypassing browser restrictions like iOS privacy changes and ad blockers. Used alongside the browser pixel, CAPI significantly improves event coverage and match quality.
Benefits
- Server-side event delivery not affected by browser limits
- Complements browser Pixel for combined coverage
- Improves event match quality score in Meta Events Manager
- Supports standard events: PageView, ViewContent, AddToCart, Purchase, and more
- Configurable deduplication to avoid double-counting
How It Works
- 01
Install Ego Facebook Pixel and connect your Meta Pixel ID
- 02
Enable Conversion API from the tracking settings
- 03
Select which events to send via CAPI
- 04
Configure deduplication with your browser Pixel events
- 05
Verify in Meta Events Manager
Use Cases
- Stores targeting iOS users where browser events are blocked
- Merchants seeing declining Meta ad performance after iOS 14
- Advertisers wanting to improve ROAS measurement accuracy
Meta Pixel
Event Deduplication
Event deduplication ensures that when both browser Pixel and Conversion API send the same event, Meta only counts it once, preventing inflated event counts and inaccurate attribution.
When browser Pixel and CAPI both fire the same event, deduplication logic assigns matching event IDs so Meta knows to count only one. Ego handles this automatically.
Benefits
- Automatic deduplication via event ID matching
- Prevents inflated purchase event counts
- Supports all standard Meta events
- No manual configuration required
- Visible in Meta Events Manager deduplication report
How It Works
- 01
Enable both browser Pixel and CAPI in Ego settings
- 02
Ego automatically assigns matching event IDs
- 03
Both channels fire the same event with the same ID
- 04
Meta deduplicates using the event ID
- 05
Check deduplication status in Meta Events Manager
Use Cases
- Any store using both browser Pixel and CAPI simultaneously
- Merchants who see more Purchase events in Meta than actual orders
Meta Pixel
Event Match Quality
Event match quality measures how well Meta can match your tracked events to real Meta user accounts. Higher match quality improves ad attribution, audience building, and ROAS measurement.
Ego sends enriched customer data with each event — email, phone, name, location, and order data — hashed before transmission to protect privacy. This gives Meta more data to match events to users.
Benefits
- Sends all available customer parameters with each event
- Data hashed before sending to Meta
- Improves EMQ score in Meta Events Manager
- Better audience match for retargeting
- Stronger lookalike audience quality
How It Works
- 01
Connect your Pixel and enable CAPI in Ego
- 02
Ego automatically includes available customer parameters
- 03
All PII is SHA-256 hashed before transmission
- 04
Check your EMQ score in Meta Events Manager
- 05
Higher-quality events improve ad optimization
Use Cases
- Merchants with poor Meta attribution wanting to improve ROAS tracking
- Stores rebuilding audiences after iOS 14 impact
