Ad platform purchase conversions don't match Shopify orders
Purchase conversions reaching ad platforms don't match Shopify orders, so sellers misjudge which campaigns pay off

What's going wrong
Sellers running Meta, Google, and GA4 campaigns through Shopify tracking apps report that purchase conversions reaching ad platforms do not match the orders their stores record. Some sales never arrive, so campaigns look weaker than they are. Others are duplicated or inflated, and one app reported several times the day's real order count. Some purchase tags were left inactive and never fired, with no clear warning, while setup still appeared to work. The reporters are small and mid-sized online sellers and their agencies, who set budgets and bids from these numbers and often check the gaps by hand. Vendor support frequently offers automated replies. The opportunity is a neutral checker that reconciles platform conversions against Shopify orders and alerts owners to each gap before bad data reaches ad accounts.
