Objective:
Wonkybox, a subscription box service in New Zealand, faced challenges with inaccurate data reporting due to reliance on browser-based tracking alone. This led to inconsistencies in their Meta Ads Conversion API and GA4 tracking. The client wanted a robust tracking solution that integrated server-side tracking for both platforms, ensuring better data accuracy and improved ROI on their Meta advertising campaigns.
Strategy:
To address these challenges, we implemented the following solutions:
- Meta Conversion API & GA4 Integration:
- Deployed Google Tag Manager (GTM) Web and Server containers to handle tracking for both platforms.
- Set up accurate server-side event tracking to mitigate browser limitations.
- Cross-Domain Checkout Tracking:
- Configured tracking to handle their unique checkout flow, where users were redirected from a third-party Stripe Checkout domain back to Wonkybox’s main site.
- Captured and passed all required event parameters during the redirection process.
- Key Event Tracking for Funnel Visualization:
- Mapped and tracked critical steps in the customer journey for GA4 Funnel reports, including:
address_checker
your_first_box
account_details
delivery_details
payment_details
purchase_complete

- Mapped and tracked critical steps in the customer journey for GA4 Funnel reports, including:
- DataLayers Implementation:
- Built a dataLayer guide to capture and pass dynamic event parameters seamlessly between platforms.
Results:
- Improved Tracking Accuracy: Significantly reduced data loss and ensured precise reporting for Meta Ads and GA4.
- Reduced CPA: The accurate data enabled Meta campaigns to achieve better targeting and lower acquisition costs.
- Enhanced Funnel Insights: Created actionable GA4 Funnel Visualizations to monitor user behavior at every step of the checkout process.
- Scalable Setup: The server-side tracking solution provided a robust foundation for long-term analytics.
