Recover Lost Shopify Sales with CAPI Shield Tracking

CAPI Shield provides server-side Shopify conversion data restoration — giving you accurate reporting, improved ad performance, and more revenue without requiring any coding.

Why Shopify Stores Lose Conversions
- iOS 14+ Privacy Changes: These limit client-side pixel tracking and reduce the accuracy of Facebook/Meta Ads reporting.
- Ad Blockers: These prevent browser-based tracking scripts from firing, creating blind spots in analytics.
- Pixel & Integration Errors: Shopify’s native tracking doesn’t always capture checkout events accurately.
How CAPI Shield Fixes Lost Conversions
CAPI Shield uses server-side tracking to bypass these common issues. Here’s how it works:
- Server-Side Event Capture: Sends purchase and lead events directly to Meta/Facebook servers.
- Seamless Shopify Integration: Automatically tracks checkout and cart data without extra scripts.
- Data Accuracy & Reconciliation: Matches conversion data with ad campaigns to restore lost attribution.
- Privacy-Compliant: Fully compatible with iOS restrictions and GDPR/CCPA.
