Introduction

Due to an increase in the use of adblockers, browsers with tracking prevention and cookie legislation, e-commerce websites miss up to 30% of their marketing attribution data. TraceDock is a first-party data collection service working in parallel to Google Analytics and connecting your conversions to the Facebook Conversion API to improve the data that you measure from your website visitors.

The goal of this package is to simplify the configuration of our Server-side Transaction Tracking service for customers with Magento2.

The package includes a Magento2 module and will:

1. Set up the identify event based on the quoteId of the checkout.
2. Forward invoice data to the TraceDock endpoint to connect serverside transactions.

See https://docs.tracedock.com/configuration/server-side-transaction-tracking/ for documentation about the Server-side Transaction Tracking.

Note: we assume that customers have implemented the basic setup of TraceDock, including adding a DNS record and adding the TraceDock code to the template of the website, as found in https://docs.tracedock.com//installation/start.

This readme contains a step-by-step description of how you can install the module in your Magneto2 environment.

Installation

To install this modules using composer run:

composer require tracedock/module-transaction-tracking

When the package is installed run the Magento 2 command:

bin/magento setup:upgrade

Configuration

In the backend of Magento2, the TraceDock configurations can be found under: Stores > Configuration > Tracedock > General

• Enable Module - With this function you can (temporarily) disable this tab.
• Enable Production - If this tab is enabled, the variable env will be populated with production, which allows you to filter it out in TraceDock using the conditions.
• API endpoint - The endpoint as found in the serverside_events tab of the TraceDock user portal.
• Included Attribution - Attributions that will be included in forwarding data to TraceDock.

Extendability

This module uses the decorator pattern to allow for better maintainability and extension on the data that is being sent to TraceDock.

To add or change existing data a custom decorator can be added in the di.xml of another module.

<type name="Tracedock\TransactionTracking\Model\Mapper">
    <arguments>
        <argument name="mapperDecorators" xsi:type="array">
            <item name="standard" xsi:type="object">Tracedock\TransactionTracking\Model\Mapper\CustomDecorator</item>
        </argument>
    </arguments>
</type>

Ensure the decorator is implementing the interface: Tracedock\TransactionTracking\Api\MapperDecoratorInterface

Test events in the portal

After the module is installed and configured, all orders with the status will be automatically forwarded to TraceDock.

You can debug these events within the TraceDock user portal. Go to serverside_events tab in the TraceDock user portal. Press on the three dots (...) after the event, and you will automatically filter the transactions in the live event view.
