BuyGoods and RedTrack
BuyGoods is a sales platform for tracking, analytics, reporting, and advertiser management.
Part I: Before you begin integration
Before you proceed with the integration, make sure to have the already added custom tracking domain.
Part II: RedTrack↔BuyGoods integration
To integrate RedTrack with BuyGoods follow the steps below:
1. Add the needed events (conversion types) to RedTrack.
On the s2s postback level, BuyGoods supports only such events as Purchase, sale, and upsell. However, the way these events come to RedTrack depends on how you add them and want to track them in your reports or logs:
If you want to track and get all the BuyGoods-supported conversions and see their data in 2 dedicated columns for sale and upsell events in reports, then act as follows:
1.1 Add sale and upsell events as conversion types to RedTrack:
1.2 For any other event modifications (deduplication, customer journey, etc.) check out this guide.
