Never miss a sale again! Conversion Recovery makes sure that even if a customer doesn’t return to the “Thank You” page after paying, you still capture their conversion. This feature helps you keep your tracking data accurate and complete.

What is Conversion Recovery?

Conversion Recovery is a feature that automatically tracks customer sessions and their orders. Even if a customer leaves your site right after buying, Conversion Recovery makes sure their purchase is still recorded. This prevents lost data and helps you know every sale your business makes.


How Does It Work?

1. Session Monitoring:

Beetle Tracking keeps an eye on every visitor by tracking their session and giving them a unique ID. This means we know who is doing what on your site, even if they don’t stick around.

2. Order Status Tracking:

If a customer completes their payment but doesn’t see the “Thank You” page, Beetle Tracking follows the order that started during their session.

3. Smart Conversion Capture:

When the order status changes to a preset stage (like “Completed”), the system records the conversion. This conversion is then sent to your advertising platforms (like Google Ads and Meta) so your campaigns stay accurate.


Why Use Conversion Recovery?

  • Capture Every Sale: You won’t lose conversion data even if customers don’t land on the confirmation page.
  • Accurate Data: Get a complete picture of your sales, which means better insights for your ad campaigns.
  • Campaign Optimization: With all conversions tracked, you can make smarter decisions to improve your marketing performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

No worries—Conversion Recovery keeps track of their order from the session. When the order status updates to “Completed” (or your chosen status), it records the conversion automatically.

Once Beetle Tracking Pro is installed and Conversion Recovery is enabled, it works automatically. Just follow the in-plugin setup instructions, and the feature will start tracking conversions for you.

Your conversion data is sent to popular tracking and advertising platforms like Google Ads and Meta. This ensures your campaigns reflect every sale, even those that might have been missed before.

Check your conversion data in your ad platforms. If you see all your completed orders recorded — even when customers didn’t visit the “Thank You” page—then Conversion Recovery is doing its job.
