What is AdBeacon Tether?
AdBeacon Tether is a first-party data solution for Shopify brands and agencies that sends enriched event data to Meta. It captures key store events, adds Shopify order and customer details, ties each event to the last Meta ad click and sends it to Meta server-side, so Meta’s algorithm optimizes on the same accurate data you use to make decisions.
How does Tether work?
Tether works in four steps. It tracks key website events with first-party tracking, enriches them with Shopify data such as order details, product categories and customer demographics, identifies the last Facebook click before each event, and sends the enriched event with its click ID to Meta through the Meta Conversions API.
Which events does Tether send to Meta?
Tether captures high-impact customer actions in real time, including Add to Cart, Initiate Checkout and Purchase events, and sends them to Meta enriched with first-party details.
Does Tether use the Meta Conversions API?
Yes. Tether sends enriched event data, including the last Facebook click ID, to Meta using server-side APIs such as the Meta Conversions API. Server-side delivery does not depend on browser cookies.
What is Tether’s modified last-click attribution?
Tether credits each tracked event to the most recent Meta ad click before it. If a shopper clicks Facebook Ad #1, then a Google ad, then Facebook Ad #2, then a Google search result, and then adds to cart, Tether credits the Add to Cart to Facebook Ad #2 and sends that click ID to Meta.
How does Tether help with ad blockers and iOS privacy updates?
Because Tether uses first-party tracking and sends events server-side, it reduces the data loss caused by ad blockers and privacy updates that limit browser-based pixels. That keeps event data consistent so valuable interactions are not missed.
Is Tether privacy compliant?
Tether is built on first-party data enrichment and server-side APIs such as the Meta Conversions API, which supports privacy compliance while maintaining data integrity and protecting customer trust.
What data does Tether add to each event?
Tether enriches events with Shopify data such as order details, product categories and customer demographics, plus the click ID of the last Meta ad clicked before the event.
Which stores and ad platforms does Tether work with?
Tether is built for Shopify stores and sends enriched first-party events to Meta (Facebook and Instagram ads). AdBeacon’s attribution platform also connects to Google Ads, TikTok, Microsoft Ads, Pinterest, Snapchat, Klaviyo and more.
How is Tether different from AdBeacon’s attribution reporting?
AdBeacon’s click-only, first-party attribution shows you which ads really drive sales. Tether sends that same first-party truth back to Meta, so the platform’s algorithm optimizes ad delivery on accurate data, not just your reports.
