5. What is Facebook Conversion API?

The Facebook conversions API (CAPI), it was formerly known as the server-side API. It allows you to track conversions through your online store’s server (which is EasyStore), rather than through your customer’s browser (online store front).

a. So what's the different between Facebook Pixel vs Conversion API?

Instead of tracking “ browser pixel events”, it tracks “ server events”. So it means that the conversions API does not rely on cookies, online store visitors’ browser settings and performance don’t affect its tracking capabilities.

b. Why Conversion API introduced?

In general, this is to help reduce the cost per action of your Facebook ads by sending better data to the Facebook algorithm. in additional to overcome IOS 14 updates that happens to provide it's users the ability to turn off browser-side tracking and Ilimits the data advertisers can collect from iOS 14 users.

c. Does this mean the pixel is no longer useful?

No, It’s just useful in a different way. In fact, you should have Facebook pixel running together with Facebook conversions API that have being set in EasyStore automatically when you have connect with Facebook channels. Want to know how to setting up Facebook Channels? This article might help you.

When you connect the conversions API and your Facebook pixel, you maximize your chances of registering a conversion. If you choose to track the same events using both tools, you might even register some conversions twice. Fortunately, Facebook can correct the double-tracking through a process called “ deduplication”.

It compares the pixel event parameter to the conversion API’s event_name parameter, and the pixel’s eventID parameter to the conversion API’s event_ID parameter.

Deduplication might sounds complicated. But in simple term, it really just means keeping one conversion event and discarding its duplicate. These tools work together to provide you the most accurate Facebook tracking data and insights.

d. What event can Facebook Conversion API tracks in EasyStore?

It can track: AddToCart, InitiateCheckout, AddPaymentInfo, OrderPaid, OrderPlaced, and Search. (Do take note that manual payment order need to have paid status in order the OrderPaid event to track)

📌 Note: Remember to verify your domain for it to work effectively. Add your online store domain from Facebook Business Manager > Business Settings > Brand Safety and add new domain. Use either domain DNS TXT record or insert meta-tag to Online Store source code to verify domain

6. What is 'Page access token expired. Please login and authorize again' error?

For this issue, may try to disconnect Facebook & proceed to log in with Facebook page once again.

These tokens are refreshed once per day when you make a request to Facebook's servers. If no requests are made, the token will expire after about 60 days and you will have to go through the login flow again to get a new token.

7. Why is my product in Facebook Shop rejected?
