The ad platforms no longer see most of what happens on your store. Safari limits their cookies to seven days, iOS lets people opt out of tracking, and ad blockers stop the pixels. So Google and Meta report fewer sales than you made, credit the wrong ads, and you cannot tell which campaigns earn money and which only spend it.<\/p>\n\n
Minted answers that from your own store. Its tracking runs on your domain, follows each visitor from the first click to the order, and shows every ad platform's spend next to the sales and profit it actually produced.<\/p>\n\n
Tracking that is yours.<\/strong> Minted's script can load from a subdomain of your own shop, so it is not a third-party request and is far less likely to be blocked. This plugin sets the visitor identifier from your site's own server, which is the only kind of cookie Safari lets live longer than a week, so a customer who comes back in a month is still the same person, and their orders are credited to the ad that first brought them.<\/p>\n\n Attribution from the click.<\/strong> Every ad click carries its own signature, from Google, Meta, TikTok, Pinterest, Microsoft, email and more. Minted reads it on your store when the visitor lands, so an order is credited to its ad even when the platform's pixel never saw it. First click and last click side by side, lifetime as well as the last 30 days, and the visits in between on every order.<\/p>\n\n Your paid media in one view.<\/strong> Google Ads and Meta Ads connect directly, so each campaign shows its spend next to the sales it produced, the profit after ad costs, the new customers it won and what each one cost against a target you set, what those customers have paid back since, and the platform's own figures alongside for comparison. Enough to see what to grow, what to fix and what to stop.<\/p>\n\n Live.<\/strong> A map of the visitors on your store this minute, browsing, in cart, at checkout or ordered, with today's sales beside them, and an alert for every paid order on the web and on your phone.<\/p>\n\n Dashboard and People.<\/strong> Sales, orders, visitors, conversion and average order value against the previous period; every step from visit to order; and every visitor and customer in one profile with their visits, sources, carts, orders and lifetime value.<\/p>\n\n Minted is a paid service with a 14-day free trial and no card needed. Plans and prices are at useminted.com\/pricing<\/a>. Sign up at useminted.com<\/a>, then install this plugin to connect your store.<\/p>\n\n A connection belongs to one web address. If you copy your site to a staging server, the copy stops reporting and its Minted page says so, so a test copy never adds to your real store's figures.<\/p>\n\n UseMinted is an independent product built by the team at useminted.com. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Minted, LLC (minted.com).<\/p>\n\n This plugin connects your store to Minted, a third-party analytics service operated at useminted.com by Minted. A Minted account is required, and everything described below is sent to that account and shown in its dashboard. Nothing is sent anywhere until you connect the store.<\/p>\n\n Minted's terms of service (https:\/\/useminted.com\/terms) and privacy policy (https:\/\/useminted.com\/privacy) govern what Minted does with all of it.<\/p>\n\n\n On a site without WooCommerce there is no Analytics menu, and Minted has a menu of its own instead.<\/p>\n\n A copy downloaded from your Minted dashboard is already set up for your store and starts tracking on activation; connecting from the Minted page is still worth doing, because it lets Minted confirm that this site is the one your figures come from and keeps your tracking address up to date on its own.<\/p>\n\n You can also enter the store ID and tracking address by hand under Settings \u2192 UseMinted. Both are shown in Minted under Settings \u2192 Stores.<\/p>\n\n\n Yes. The plugin connects your store to your Minted account, where the figures are shown. Create one at useminted.com; the first 14 days are free and no card is needed.<\/p><\/dd>\n Minted is a paid service after the free trial. Plans and current prices are at useminted.com\/pricing. You can cancel at any time; the plugin stays installed and simply stops reporting once the store is disconnected.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Go to Analytics \u2192 Minted, select Connect to Minted, sign in, and confirm the store. Nothing is typed into WordPress and no keys or secrets are put in the plugin file.<\/p><\/dd>\n Deactivate the old copy first, then activate this one, then delete the old copy. Your settings and connection are kept, because both copies store them in the same place. Activating this copy while the old one is still active fails with a message about a function being declared twice; deactivating the old copy first avoids that.<\/p><\/dd>\nWhat this plugin does on your site<\/h4>\n\n
