How to Integrate TikTok Pixel and Conversion API in Drupal E-commerce Sites
Margub Alam, a GA4 and Web Analytics Specialist, shared a comprehensive guide on LinkedIn detailing how to integrate TikTok Pixel and Conversion API (CAPI) into Drupal e-commerce sites. The post emphasises the importance of combining client-side (Pixel) and server-side (CAPI) tracking to enhance data accuracy, campaign attribution, and user behaviour analysis in modern digital marketing.
In the post, Marghub outlines a dual approach to integration. First, he explains how to inject the TikTok Pixel script into a Drupal site using a custom module, ensuring full flexibility and maintainability. He then provides a step-by-step breakdown of implementing TikTok’s CAPI using Drupal services, Guzzle HTTP requests, and order event listeners in Drupal Commerce. This method allows sites to send purchase data securely and reliably to TikTok's servers, bypassing client-side limitations like ad blockers.
The guide concludes with recommendations for testing the integration using TikTok’s event tools and stresses the value of server-side tracking in today’s privacy-conscious environment. For Drupal e-commerce operators seeking enhanced analytics and marketing performance, this guide provides a structured and practical implementation roadmap.
