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:
- Viewed pricing page
- Started free trial
- Completed onboarding
- Upgraded to paid
Common goals for e-commerce:
- Added to cart
- Started checkout
- Completed purchase
Common goals for lead gen:
- Downloaded resource
- Submitted contact form
- 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

- Dashboard → Funnels → Create New
- 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
- Save and track
TrackFox shows:
- Conversion rate at each step
- Drop-off percentages

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 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").
