Your Meta Ads might be generating sales that your tracking setup isn't reporting correctly.
For Shopify brands, using Meta Pixel and Conversions API (CAPI) together doesn't automatically guarantee accurate tracking.
Common issues include:
Duplicate purchase events due to incorrect deduplication
Missing purchase events
Incorrect purchase values or currency
Poor event matching
Before changing campaigns or increasing budgets, I'd check:
1/ Test browser and server events in Meta Events Manager.
2/ Verify event IDs and deduplication.
3/ Compare Meta-reported purchases with Shopify orders, accounting for attribution differences.
4/ Check purchase values and currency parameters.
Meta and Shopify numbers won't always match exactly. The goal is reliable tracking, not identical reports.
Before scaling Meta Ads, make sure your conversion data is reliable enough to guide your decisions.
The yellow sticky note ("Biscuit deserves better than gas station treats") stops me first: a human voice and one colour pop on a quiet layout. The $1,209 back math ad is a close second, the number does the selling.
