      Conversion tracking

        Article summary

        You can track conversion events through the scripts provided by ShopLive. When a purchase meets the conditions below, it would be counted as a conversion.

        • A user watches a live (or replay) or short-form video for at least 3 seconds

        • Purchased products were also displayed on a live (or replay) or short-form video

        • the purchase happened within a maximum of 28 days from the date the user watches the product listed in the video

        Conversion is based on the last video the user watched, and live (replay) and short-form are recorded separately. So, if a purchase occurs, it will be recorded as a purchase conversion in both live (replay) and short-form respectively If the user watched both.

        sendConversionEvent

        The sendConversionEvent() function used on the purchase completion page records the purchase event using the product identifier of the purchased item as the key information. It maps this information to viewing data to record the correlation between viewing and purchasing.

        For logged-in users, the function recognizes the user of viewing and purchasing through user authentication, similar to the viewing process. For users who are not logged in, it links viewing and purchasing using the user identifier stored in local storage.
