Littledata's server-side purchase tracking ensures 100% accuracy by capturing all transactions directly from your server, including post-purchase upsells and recurring orders. It allows filtering by sales channel and includes refunds, enhancing data reliability. User-provided data improves attribution, and custom mapping to source/medium offers tailored insights.
In contrast, Addingwell's tracking relies on the thank you page, which can miss critical data, and only tracks checkout starts, limiting insights into user behavior. Littledata's checkout tracking captures all steps server-side, ensuring comprehensive data collection, while Addingwell's method is less robust and may lead to incomplete analytics. Overall, Littledata provides a more accurate and detailed tracking solution for Shopify Plus brands.
