Events allow you to integrate 3rd party analytics services with your Simplified instance. Adding any Custom HTML event is available for free. The rest are available with Simplified Checkout Pro.

Currently, the Custom HTML service is available on the Free plan. However, we plan to bring Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta Pixels, and Klaviyo over to the Free plan due to its popularity.


Adding a Service

Click Add Service in the top right corner.

Select the service you want to connect and click Continue.

Select the instances you want to connect this service to. You can edit this later if you want to add more instances to a service.


Configuring Services

Configure services typically require you to create an account with the service and obtain tracking IDs, but this may vary depending on the service you have selected.

Custom HTML

Start by adding a label for this service, then click Save & Integrate.

Click on the new Custom HTML service you created.

Within the Custom HTML screen, you'll see the instances connected to the service, the scripts you have added, and their associated triggers.

Settings

The settings button at the top right corner brings you to the settings wizard from when the service was added.

Adding, Toggling Events

Each event for each instance can be toggled on/off from this screen, and new events can be added with + Add Event.

Click on Add Script to open the settings panel.

Enter a Script Name, and then paste your script into the Pixel HTML section.

You need to add the tracking script manually from your external tracking platform.

Firing Priority

You can specify which scripts will trigger first, second, third, etc., or let our system decide the priority.

Firing Options

  • Once Per Session: The script will only fire once per session.

  • Entire Session: The will will fire throughout the session on each page reload (if applicable)

Prevent Firing When Testing

Check this option to prevent your script from being fired during testing or previewing.

Upon saving, click on View Triggers and continue to the next section.
