Server-Side Tracking for Magento / Adobe Commerce
Stop losing conversions to iOS ITP, short-lived cookies, and ad-blockers. TrakSolv hosts a first-party server-side GTM container for your Magento / Adobe Commerce store and forwards clean, deduplicated conversions to GA4, Meta CAPI, Google Ads and more. Live in minutes, flat monthly pricing.
The pixel alone is leaking your data.
Browser-side tracking on Magento / Adobe Commerce loses a growing share of conversions. Here's what moving to a server-side setup fixes.
Recover conversions lost to ITP & ad-blockers
On Magento / Adobe Commerce, browser-side pixels are throttled by Safari/Firefox ITP, capped 7-day cookies, and blocked outright by ad-blockers and consent walls. Server-side tracking moves the measurement off the browser, so purchases and add-to-carts that the pixel silently drops are recovered and reported.
First-party data, served from your own domain
TrakSolv hosts your Google Tag Manager server container on a subdomain of your Magento / Adobe Commerce site. Requests come from a first-party context — they survive 3rd-party cookie deprecation, last far longer than client-side cookies, and look like your own traffic, not a tracker.
Clean, deduplicated conversions to every ad platform
The Magento / Adobe Commerce dataLayer fires every GA4 enhanced-ecommerce event with a stable event_id, so your server-side container can forward purchases and add-to-carts to GA4, Meta CAPI, Google Ads Enhanced Conversions, TikTok and more — deduplicated against the browser pixel, with higher match quality.
How to set up server-side tracking on Magento / Adobe Commerce
Paste the TrakSolv loader and the Magento / Adobe Commerce dataLayer snippet into your store's custom-code area, save, and you're done. Every step below has the exact snippet with a copy button.
