Universe Widget Considerations for Cross-Domain Tracking
To fully optimize your tracking to be capturing all conversions when using Universe's widgets on your website, we have an additional snippet of code that can be added to your website alongside our widgets.
Please note that when using this additional script, only the Purchase and PageView events will be sent to TikTok - Checkout - Viewed Tickets and Checkout - Added Tickets will not be included.
Insert the following code snippet into your website header:
<script>
document.addEventListener('unii:tracking:tiktokpixel', (( data ) => {
if (ttq) {
ttq.track(data.detail.command, data.detail.options);
}
}), false);
</script>
That’s it! You can now put through a test purchase to verify that the purchase information is being captured correctly. As mentioned above in Step 5 of how to add TikTok Pixel to Universe, please also ensure that the TikTok Pixel base code has been added to your website header.
