Facebook Sales Channel is Shopify's free built-in Meta connector, but it's been largely unchanged since 2021 and lacks identity resolution — limiting audience quality and match rates.
Wetracked improves on this with identity resolution and server-side data direct from Shopify, but it's a smaller founder-led product with no free trial and no native Shopify Markets support.
Littledata wins on completeness. It combines server-side data direct from Shopify's servers (which Facebook Sales Channel lacks entirely, and Wetracked also claims but without verified checkout step granularity), identity resolution, automatic checkout step tracking, and native Shopify Markets support — all with no code setup and a 30-day free trial. Because it pulls directly from Shopify's servers, it captures events the browser never sees, giving a more complete customer journey than browser-dependent solutions. For a Shopify Plus brand running international markets and needing reliable ad attribution, Littledata is the most robust option.
Reviews comparison
Facebook Sales Channel vs Wetracked's customer reviews
| Facebook Sales Channel | Wetracked | Littledata | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Example product review | "Tracking is inaccurate, ad spend wasted, and support is unhelpful...data doesn’t match up, making it impossible to optimize campaigns." | they got me in as they said it was better and cheaper then Triple whale, but really all it is, is some code on the back end you can not track or even see the results you still need to use the meta and good dash boards. | "We were having difficulties with accurate and consistent revenue attribution...With Littledata implemented, we now get consistent and accurate revenue attribution." |
| Example support review | "Cannot get anyone to follow through and help me... I get bounced around from tech support person to another." | Tracking looks improved the last 2-3 days. Support has never replied to me :-( even after days of waiting and 3 emails & reminders. | "Customer support is absolutely amazing... you can never go wrong when an app does what it says and tacks on great service!" |

Facebook Sales Channel / Meta Ads only pipes your Shopify data exclusively to Meta — it's a single-destination, native integration with limited flexibility.
Wetracked expands that to 6 destinations, covering major paid social and search channels plus Klaviyo for email/SMS — better for multi-channel ad attribution.
Littledata offers the broadest coverage with 9 destinations, adding analytics layers (Google Analytics, Segment) and additional CRM/SMS tools (Attentive, Microsoft Ads) — making it the most comprehensive option if you need both attribution and analytics infrastructure.
Bottom line: If you want true server-side tracking across your full marketing stack — paid, owned, and analytics — Littledata covers the most ground.
