I’ve released WooCommerce Conversion Tracking a while back because I needed a way to track conversion for my own need. Surprisingly there weren’t any good plugins available, so I created one like I always do ?
So I put it up in WordPress.org and I forgot about it. One day I surprisingly noticed it has 10k active installs, holy crap!
Didn’t expect that much for this simple plugin. Also it doesn’t do that much in terms of functionality, but with some love it could really get some amazing features that could help businesses that depends on WooCommerce and sells something. Tracking the campaigns could be much more tightly integrated with the Ad services, such as Facebook, Twitter, Google Adwords, Perfect Audience, AdRoll and others.
So I want to improve the plugin!
Current Workflow
Right now, here’s what you get when you install the plugin.
You insert the tracking pixel code snippets you get from the services into the boxes, replace the order_id, currency, order_total etc. in the script and the plugin prints out the script tags in order success page, or registration page and that way the external services count that event as a conversion. Pretty simple, right?
But this could be improved!
The Plan
I want to tightly integrate the plugin with external services and track events as much as possible which the particular service supports. So with the deep integration you don’t have to do a thing, you just have to put the Tracking ID there. For example, if you are using Facebook, just enter the Pixel ID and it’ll do the rest. No more pulling out you hair with different services to integrate!
But, I don’t know all of the services you use.
So in the updated version, the interface will move from WooCommerce Integration Settings to a new submenu with a simple updated UI. You can enable/disable individual services/integrations and configure them. If any integration isn’t available there, the Custom integration can be used as it is available now.
Your Feedback Needed
Again, I don’t know all the services you guys/gals use. As I want to improve the plugin, I would really appreciate your feedback and suggestions on how it can be helpful for you, what you would like, or dislike about the plugin. Please let me know.
Are you planning on making this new enhancements PRO version? or will remain free?
Firstly, the free version will get this feature bump and it’ll have few integrations available, like Facebook, Twitter, etc. But I’m not sure yet how many will be provided in the free version. I know few services I want to integrate, but there is a long list of integrations that could be done. So a PRO version will be there to unlock those integrations. I hope you got the idea 🙂
I get the Idea. I am particularly keen on Google and Facebook integration.
Hey Tareq,
That’s a nice plugin you have there. I would be interested in the Facebook integration. I haven’t yet used your plugin since our store is based on Easy Digital Downloads, but it definitely looks very useful.
Hi Tareq
I am new to this, can you have more information. My understand is you only count conversion with the codes you put on sale page. Can it also give me sales, net profits, when I use paid traffic, how much I have spent for that traffic. In one program It will show me everything, traffic to my pages, sales, cost on that campain and the most important PROFIT, then I will know it the campaign is working or not. Is this posiable
Thanks for sharing.
