3. Click on Tracking Pixel
4. Select the product you want to configure the pixel with and click Continue
5. On the next page, click Google Analytics or the latest version (Google Analytics 4)
6. In the window that opens, put your pixel ID from Analytics.

There you go! From now on, Google Analytics will provide you precious information that can boost your digital product!

What information is sent to Google Analytics?

When the checkout page screen opens, we send a “begin_checkout” event and when the purchase is completed, we send the “purchase” event. The purchase event contains purchase details such as product ID, commission amount, and transaction currency. To learn more about the possible customizations in these fields, read this article.

In addition, for Hotmart Product Page viewing events, we send a "page_view" event.

Currently, Google Chrome extensions provided by Google and Facebook make it possible to verify the proper functioning of your pixels. Cool, right?

These extensions are:

Tag Assistant (Google)

This is a resource to resolve issues related to the installation of various Google tags, including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Adwords Conversion Tracking, among others.

When using Tag Assistant, you can browse any page and find out which tags are present in each of them, report errors, and suggest improvements.

You can also use Google Tag Assistant Recording to record a user's flow through your website and instantly validate, diagnose, and resolve issues with the implementation of Google Analytics.

Facebook Pixel Helper

Facebook Pixel Helper is a tool that allows you to validate the implementation of your pixel. It works by looking for conversions or Facebook pixels and ensuring real-time feedback on implementation.

A small number will appear on the Facebook Pixel Helper icon to indicate a number of pixel events. When clicked on, a dashboard will pop up to show a detailed overview of page pixels, including warnings, errors, and successes.
