A shop owner recently wrote to our support while switching from PixelYourSite to the Pixel Manager for WooCommerce:

"We had the Advanced Marketing Events active and made audiences based on them, and after that, lookalikes. These audiences were dynamically populated based on the advanced event. Now our ads environment remains without these audiences and events. Can we somehow replicate or migrate them over?"

Short answer: yes, all of them, with one small code snippet. And you don't even have to write it yourself, because our chatbot will write it for you.

Tracking subscriptions is harder than tracking one-off purchases, and not because of the code. It is hard because the ad platforms themselves disagree about what a subscription even is. Meta has a full lifecycle event model. Google Ads has nothing. GA4 sits somewhere in the middle. A real WooCommerce store that runs subscriptions needs an implementation that respects what each platform actually accepts, and reports value in a way that reflects the customer lifetime value (CLV), not just the first month's charge.

This post explains exactly how the Pixel Manager for WooCommerce handles WooCommerce Subscriptions, what fires where, and which knobs you can turn.

On the surface, every WooCommerce plugin that talks about the Conversions API does the same thing: take an order, hash an email, POST a payload to an ad platform. In practice, the gap between "POSTs a payload" and "actually delivers reliable, deduplicated, attributable conversions across every payment gateway and edge case a real store throws at it" is enormous. This post is about that gap.

How to configure the Pixel Manager so Facebook (Meta) conversions are recorded only when WooCommerce confirms the order is in a paid state, using the Conversions API as the single source of truth.

TLDR​

• SweetCode Cloud (SSP) integration with Purchase Proxy and multi-domain support
• New CrazyEgg pixel integration
• WooCommerce Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) support for profit margin calculations
• Tracking Accuracy Analysis dashboard with automatic backfill
• Account Created event tracking, unified IP exclusion filter, and more new settings
• Numerous Google Tag Gateway Proxy improvements and stability fixes
• 50+ tweaks and 15+ bug fixes across 13 releases

If you're using Google Ads Conversion Adjustments with the Pixel Manager, you've likely noticed error messages in your Google Ads upload reports. Recently, Google has also started sending email notifications and displaying warnings on campaigns about these errors, even though the feature is working exactly as intended.

"Facebook says I had 150 conversions last week, but WooCommerce only shows 95 orders. What's going on?" This is one of the most common questions we receive in support. If you've ever stared at your Facebook Ads Manager numbers and wondered why they don't match your WooCommerce order count, you're not alone.

TLDR​

• Major codebase refactor: wpm renamed to pmw — developers using custom filters should update their code
• Two new Consent Management Platform integrations: Cookie Confirm & Beautiful and Responsive Cookie Consent
• Enhanced Opportunities dashboard with impact-level breakdown and statistics
• Improved Google Tag Gateway Proxy with better race condition protection

You're running paid ads on Facebook, TikTok, or LinkedIn. You check Google Analytics expecting to see your campaigns driving traffic. Instead, you find m.facebook.com / referral or l.instagram.com / referral cluttering your reports.

Sound familiar? You're not alone — and the fix is simpler than you might think.

✅ TL;DR

• Google Ads auto-tags for GA4. Most other platforms (Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest) do not.
• Without UTM parameters, GA4 sees your paid traffic as generic referral traffic.
• Add UTM parameters to every ad — copy-paste templates below.
• Each platform uses different macro syntax — don't mix them up.

Version 1.54.0 is here! We're expanding the Pixel Manager ecosystem with three new advertising and analytics integrations: Adroll, Outbrain, and Contentsquare.

✅ TL;DR

• New Adroll pixel for retargeting campaigns
• New Outbrain pixel for native advertising tracking
• New Contentsquare pixel for digital experience analytics
• Enhanced LinkedIn event tracking with conversion types and values
• TikTok Events API improvements
• Admin UX improvements and enhanced reliability
