Why can't I just do this myself?

You can — if you have 80–120 hours to learn server-side GTM, debug iOS dedup edge cases, and stress-test EMQ across every conversion event. We do it in 7–10 days because we've done it 300+ times.

What if it doesn't work?

Two protections: (1) 95% tracking accuracy guarantee — we keep working free until your Meta Match Quality hits 8+. (2) You own the entire stack — server, container, runbook — on your accounts from day one.

Will Apple / Google break this in the future?

1st-party server-side tracking is what survives Apple, Mozilla, and Chrome cookie deprecation. The CAPI / Events API endpoints we use are how Meta, Google, and TikTok publicly committed to keeping the channel open.

Get your MemberPress tracking to 95%+ accuracy guaranteed in writing.

MemberPress is the most popular WordPress membership platform — courses, communities, recurring subscriptions, drip content. But the default integration is browser Pixel + GA. Renewals don't fire. iOS members vanish. Smart Bidding optimizes for trial signups instead of retained members. We rebuild MemberPress tracking server-side via WordPress hooks so every signup, every renewal, every cancellation flows to Meta and Google.

MemberPress · what breaks

MemberPress tracking gaps

01
Browser-only Pixel = iOS gap
30%+ of high-LTV members lost
02
Renewals invisible to ad platforms
Recurring revenue never reaches Meta as new conversion
03
Trial → paid conversion not tracked properly
Free trial conversion to paid is the highest-value moment but never fires correctly
04
Cancellation events not used
Churn signals could feed lookalike exclusions but don't

MemberPress · architecture

How a MemberPress order should reach the ad platforms

MemberPress runs on WordPress with full server access, and its revenue is recurring — which means most of the money it produces has no browser session attached to it at all.

1
Click identifiers captured at first touch
Click IDs are captured at landing and written to the member record, so a renewal eleven months later still attributes to the campaign that acquired the member.
2
The browser sends the fast, fragile copy
WordPress fires the browsing and checkout-start events. The signup completion page is revisitable and is not a safe purchase trigger.
3
The order itself is the source of truth
The MemberPress transaction, with a complete status, is the truth — for the first payment and for every renewal.
4
A server container sends the authoritative event
MemberPress hooks post transactions to a GTM server container on your own subdomain, keyed on the transaction ID.
5
Customer identity raises match quality
The member record carries email and billing details, hashed server-side.

MemberPress · events

The event set we build on MemberPress, and where each one comes from

In a membership business the renewal is the event that reveals which campaigns actually worked, and it is the one nearly nobody sends.

Event	Fires when, on MemberPress	Key parameters	Sent from
view_item	A pricing or membership page renders	item_id, value, currency, event_id	Browser + server, deduped
begin_checkout	The MemberPress checkout loads	value, currency, num_items, event_id	Browser + server, deduped
membership_started	The first transaction completes	plan, value, currency, hashed email, event_id	Server authoritative
subscription_renewed	A renewal transaction completes — no browser present	value, currency, plan	Server only
subscription_canceled	A subscription is cancelled or expires	hashed email, plan	Server only
refund	A refund is issued	order_id, value, currency	Server only

MemberPress · normal or broken

Membership tracking realities

Signup value and realized value diverge more here than in almost any other model.

Normal, not a fault

Renewals arriving with no session
Recurring charges happen server-side, months later. Server-only reporting is the only possibility.
Free trials outnumbering paid members
Expected funnel shape.
Ad platforms report more conversions than you have orders
Meta credits a 7-day click and 1-day view; Google credits on click date. Two platforms can each claim the same sale. Compare each one to your order records separately and never add them together.
Recent days always look worse than they finish
Conversions are credited back to the date of the click, so yesterday's return on ad spend is understated and will keep improving for several days. This is attribution working, not data arriving late.

Actually broken

Only the first payment tracked
A membership's real value is its retained months. Reporting only month one makes every membership campaign look unprofitable.
Free trials counted as paid conversions
Bidding buys trial-takers who never convert.
Cancellations never reported
Reported lifetime value permanently inflated, and the worst-retaining campaigns look like the best.
Signup page revisits counted again
Without a transaction guard, refreshes multiply conversions.

MemberPress · prove

How we prove the MemberPress build is correct

The tag firing proves the tag fires. These prove the numbers are right.

Source of truth

MemberPress transaction records in WordPress

First payments and renewals confirmed tracked distinctly.
Cancellations confirmed reversing the conversion.
Free trials confirmed separated from paid conversions.
Revenue reconciled against MemberPress transactions for a closed month.
Purchase count within a few percent of memberpress transaction records in wordpress for a fully closed week, matched on order ID rather than on totals.
No order ID appearing twice in any platform's event log.
Deduplication confirmed at every destination that supports it.
Test and staff orders excluded, with the exclusion confirmed active rather than merely configured.
The same reconciliation repeated 30 days later, because a setup that works once and then drifts is the harder failure to catch.

You run a small membership fed by an existing audience with no paid acquisition.
Your membership is free. There is no revenue event to optimize toward.
