JavaScript pixel tracking is a method of tracking and reporting online sale conversions to impact.com. It consists of a few JavaScript code snippets placed on your site, usually with a tag manager, or manually within the HTML documents of your site. These tags work together to identify customers across your site, track conversions, and report order (and item) data.

How it works

  • The Universal Tracking Tag (UTT) is a minified script placed within the global <head> HTML element of your site, and runs on every page.

  • The identify function is placed within the <body> HTML element on every page of your site. It uses dynamic identifiers and cookies on your site to identify visitors.

  • The trackConversion function is a small JavaScript image pixel placed in the <body> HTML element of your site's confirmation page (i.e, "Order Confirmed" or "Thank You" page) that is dynamically populated with the customer's identifiers and information about their order, which is then sent to impact.com

The UTT needs to load first globally across your site before calling one of the other functions. The functions should be prioritized to load as soon as possible on your site for the most accurate tracking.

⚠️
