Conversion Tracking: From First Visit to Payment

Track every step of your conversion funnel. See where visitors drop off and which paths lead to paying customers. Real conversion data, not estimates.

Conversion Tracking That Shows the Full Picture

The question every business needs answered:

"Of the 10,000 visitors this month, how many became paying customers, and where did the others drop off?"

TrackFox answers this with real data—not estimates.


What is Conversion Tracking?

Conversion tracking measures how many visitors complete desired actions:

  • Micro-conversions: Newsletter signups, downloads, account creation
  • Macro-conversions: Purchases, subscriptions, demo requests

TrackFox tracks both—and connects them to revenue.


The Problem With Basic Conversion Tracking

Google Analytics Approach

GA4 tells you: "You had 500 goal completions this month."

Questions it doesn't answer:

  • Which traffic sources drove those conversions?
  • How much revenue did each conversion generate?
  • What was the path from landing to conversion?
  • Where did the other 9,500 visitors drop off?

TrackFox Approach

TrackFox shows you:

10,000 visitors → 2,000 viewed pricing → 500 started signup → 250 completed signup → 75 paid → $22,500 revenue

Drop-off points:
- 80% leave before pricing (content issue?)
- 75% leave pricing without signup (pricing issue?)
- 50% abandon signup (form friction?)
- 70% don't convert to paid (onboarding issue?)

Now you know exactly what to fix.


Setting Up Conversion Tracking

Step 1: Define Your Conversion Goals

Common goals for SaaS:

  1. Viewed pricing page
  2. Started free trial
  3. Completed onboarding
  4. Upgraded to paid

Common goals for e-commerce:

  1. Added to cart
  2. Started checkout
  3. Completed purchase

Common goals for lead gen:

  1. Downloaded resource
  2. Submitted contact form
  3. Booked demo call

Step 2: Track Conversions With TrackFox

Automatic pageview tracking:

TrackFox automatically tracks visits to key pages like /pricing, /checkout, /thank-you.

Custom event tracking:

// Track when user starts trial
window?.trackfox("trial_started", {
  plan: "pro",
  source: "pricing_page",
});

// Track when user completes purchase
window?.trackfox("purchase_completed", {
  plan: "pro",
  amount: 29,
  currency: "usd",
});

Step 3: Build Conversion Funnels

Create visual funnels in TrackFox:

  1. Dashboard → Funnels → Create New
  2. Add funnel steps:
    • Step 1: Landing page visit
    • Step 2: Pricing page view
    • Step 3: Signup started
    • Step 4: Signup completed
    • Step 5: Payment completed
  3. Save and track

TrackFox shows:

  • Conversion rate at each step
  • Drop-off percentages
  • Time between steps
  • Revenue at final step

Revenue Attribution

Connect conversions to dollars:

  • See revenue per conversion
  • Calculate average order value
  • Track customer lifetime value by source

Example:

Conversion Source Conversions Revenue Avg Value
Google Organic 45 $13,500 $300
Google Ads 15 $4,500 $300
Twitter 12 $4,800 $400
Direct 3 $600 $200

Insight: Twitter visitors convert at higher value.


Real-Time Conversion Data

See conversions as they happen:

  • Live conversion feed
  • Instant revenue updates
  • No 24-48 hour delays like GA4

React immediately to conversion spikes or drops.


Conversion by Traffic Source

Break down conversions by source:

  • Organic search conversions
  • Paid advertising conversions
  • Social media conversions
  • Referral conversions
  • Direct traffic conversions

Know which channels drive actual customers—not just visitors.


Advanced Conversion Tracking

Track Authenticated Users

Filter out logged-in users:

TrackFox lets you exclude authenticated users from conversion tracking. See true conversion rates for new visitors.

Why this matters:

Your team members, existing customers, and logged-in users don't represent your real conversion funnel. Filter them out for accurate data.


Segment Conversions

Analyze conversions by:

  • Device type (mobile vs desktop)
  • Geography (country, region)
  • Time of day
  • Day of week
  • Browser type

Example insight:

"Mobile visitors convert at 0.5% vs 1.2% for desktop. Mobile checkout needs optimization."


A/B Test Conversion Impact

Track conversions for different variants:

  • Landing page A: 2.3% conversion rate
  • Landing page B: 3.1% conversion rate

Winner: Landing page B generates 35% more conversions.


Conversion Tracking Automations

Set up webhooks for:

  • Discord: Get notified when someone converts
  • Telegram: Real-time conversion alerts
  • Slack: Team-wide conversion notifications

  • Add converter to CRM

Conversion Tracking FAQ

Q: Can I track conversions that happen after someone leaves the site?

A: Yes. Use TrackFox's server-side API to log conversions from your backend, email system, or CRM.


Q: How do I track conversions for a multi-page checkout?

A: Create a funnel with each checkout step. TrackFox tracks progression through each page automatically.


Q: Can I import historical conversion data?

A: Yes. If you're migrating from Google Analytics, Plausible, or PostHog, you can import your historical data.


Q: What's the difference between goals and funnels?

A: Goals track single conversion events (like "purchased"). Funnels track the path to that conversion (like "visited pricing → started checkout → completed purchase").
