## Description

**Improve purchase conversion tracking accuracy for WooCommerce with native server-
side tracking.**

Browser-based tracking is blocked by modern privacy settings (ITP), ad blockers,
and consent choices. This leads to missing purchase conversions in GA4 and incomplete
ad reporting.

**TrackSharp** adds a reliable, first-party server-side tracking layer. It ensures
your most important event — **Purchase** — is recorded in GA4 even when browser 
tags fail.

No GTM server container. No Google Cloud costs. No complex coding.

> “We previously used Google Tag Manager, but browser blocking still caused us to
> miss up to 40% of our conversions. With TrackSharp, our data is finally 100% accurate
> without us needing to change a thing.”
> **Jordi** — Online Marketer at Hbeds.nl

#### What Problem We Solve

Most store owners don’t know _how much_ data they are losing. Setting up server-
side tracking usually requires complex Google Tag Manager (GTM) containers, monthly
cloud hosting fees (Stape/Google Cloud), and developer time.

**TrackSharp removes that complexity and cost.**
 It runs directly on your WordPress
server as a native plugin. You can complete the setup in 5 minutes and immediately
start auditing your data loss and fixing GA4 tracking.

#### Features & Capabilities

**1. Instant Attribution Audit (Free)**
 Unique to TrackSharp: we don’t just track,
we _diagnose_. The dashboard uses your real historical order data to highlight risks:***
Google Ads Blind Spots:** See how many orders have Google Click IDs (gclid) that
browser tracking might have missed. * **Meta Pixel Health:** Monitor if your browser
Pixel is firing correctly or being blocked.

**2. Reliable GA4 Server-Side Tracking**
 Sends purchase events via the Measurement
Protocol directly from your server. This bypasses ad blockers and iOS restrictions
to close the gap between WooCommerce orders and Analytics reports.

**3. Native WooCommerce Integration**
 Unlike generic GTM solutions, TrackSharp 
is purpose-built for WooCommerce. It listens to internal order hooks to ensure data
accuracy.

#### Supported WooCommerce Events

TrackSharp tracks the complete shopping journey server-side (GA4) to ensure full
funnel visibility:

 * **Shopper Activity:** `view_item` (product view), `add_to_cart`, `view_cart`
 * **Checkout Flow:** `begin_checkout`, `add_payment_info`
 * **Conversion:** `purchase` (Order Completed)

_Note: Non-purchase events are sent via the first-party collector endpoint included
in the free version._

#### Best Fit For Which Stores?

 * **Stores running Paid Ads:** If you spend budget on Google Ads or Meta (Facebook/
   Instagram) and suspect your ROAS is inaccurate due to tracking loss.
 * **Cost-Conscious Owners:** Stores that want reliable Server-Side tracking without
   paying €20-€100/month for external hosting (like Stape or Google Cloud).
 * **Agencies & Freelancers:** Professionals looking for a “set-and-forget” solution
   for clients that doesn’t require maintaining complex GTM server containers.
 * **Non-Technical Founders:** Anyone who wants to fix their data accuracy in 5 
   minutes without writing code or hiring a developer.

#### Pro Version: Advanced Attribution

For stores running paid ads on Google or Meta, TrackSharp Pro adds the missing attribution
layer:

 * **Google Ads Attribution:** Captures attribution parameters server-side so conversions
   are credited to the right campaign.
 * **Meta Conversions API (CAPI):** Full server-side backup for the Facebook Pixel.
 * **Enhanced Conversions:** Sends hashed user data (email/phone) to improve match
   rates on both platforms.
 * **Priority Support:** Direct access to the developers via email.

### How It Works

 1. **Install:** Activate the plugin on your WordPress site.
 2. **Connect:** Use the Setup Wizard to link your GA4 Measurement ID.
 3. **Audit:** Check the Dashboard to see your “Revenue Audit” and potential data loss.
 4. **Relax:** TrackSharp now runs in the background, securing your data.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate the plugin.
 2. Go to **TrackSharp  Setup Wizard**.
 3. Enter your GA4 Measurement ID and Measurement Protocol API Secret.
 4. (Recommended) Use a CMP that integrates with the WP Consent API.
 5. Place a test order and review **TrackSharp  Events**.

## FAQ

### Does this replace my GA4 browser tags?

No. TrackSharp adds server-side tracking as a safety net. If you use GTM for browser
tags, TrackSharp handles the deduplication (using `event_id`) to prevent double 
counting.

### Do I need a GTM server container (Stape / Google Cloud)?

No! That is the main benefit of TrackSharp. It runs directly on your WordPress server.
You save €20-€100/month on external server hosting costs compared to container-based
solutions like Conversios or Stape.

### Is it GDPR compliant?

TrackSharp integrates with the WP Consent API. It only sends data when the appropriate
consent (Statistics/Marketing) is granted. If no CMP is found, you can configure
the fallback behavior.
