Elevar ensures that 100% of your conversions are tracked and delivered to your marketing channels using Google Tag Manager and server-side tracking. Since the company was acquired by Buxton (now Audiense) the product has been merged into a wider analytics and segmentation tool.

Shopify has a built in free connector for Meta Ads as part of the Facebook Sales Channel. This was built in 2021 and is maintained by Shopify.

Elevar offers robust identity resolution and server-side tracking via Google Tag Manager, ensuring comprehensive conversion tracking directly from Shopify. It integrates customer data with marketing platforms but is now part of a broader analytics tool after its acquisition. In contrast, Facebook Sales Channel provides a simpler, no-code setup for Meta Ads, leveraging Shopify's built-in connector but lacks advanced tracking features. Littledata excels by combining the strengths of both: it offers identity resolution, server-side tracking, and automatic checkout step tracking, all with a fully automated setup and a 30-day free trial, making it a more comprehensive solution.
