Marketing Ad Campaigns / Ad Tracking

Has anyone successfully had any ad campaigns linked to their sites?

It seems you have to put in some code so Google/Microsoft/Facebook can track your conversions.

This seems to be a two step process. Adding the base line code to the Header section which is pretty straight forward.

Design > Header & Footer > Head Code > Copy/Paste supplied script

The next part seems to be where I'm stumped. You then have to take another line of code and copy/paste it on your confirmation page so they can make sure the person not only went to your site but actually checked out and purchased something. This line on code needs added but I don't see anywhere to put this and don't think you'd just put this also in the head code, but maybe you do since there's not actual checkout page?

I put in a fake order and noticed it takes me to this link

https://www.seanscarmack.com/index.php?view=checkout

And once I put in my order it generates a new link to this

https://www.seanscarmack.com/index.php?view=order&new=582

So these links aren't "real pages" but simply generated with each other.

What I'm trying to do is make sure my money spent on marketing is going to good use and my ads are actually converting rather than just throwing money away.

You would have to manually edit the file :

sy-inc/store/store_convertions.php

and add the code there.

That is only loaded after they complete the payment.

You will also have to do it after each update.

Yes. You can replace the 0 after revenue value with the following and it should record the order total:

<?php print $order['order_total'];?>

Unfortunately that did not work, it's still counting conversions even after placing that line of code in that php file. I think because it still has the "destination URL" to https://www.seanscarmack.com/services/shooting/weddings/ which is where I having my Wedding Bookings, since we don't have a actual confirmation page. Unless you can think of a better way to link this? I know this is out of your scope, but I'm stumped :(
