Facebook Conversion API FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers about Facebook Conversion API

To pass conversion data to the Facebook Conversion API you need to collect traffic, first party data, and conversion data from your website and conversion sources (CRM, eCommerce), and establish a server side connection from your server to the Facebook Conversion API server.

You can develop your own integration following Facebook Developer Guidelines,, or you can connect with a Facebook Business Partner such as AnyTrack which automatically integrates with the Facebook Conversion API.

To manually set the Facebook Conversion API, you need to implement the conversion api following the Facebook Developer guidelines. 

The Facebook Conversion API works like the Facebook Pixel, but instead of sending conversion data by loading the facebook pixel on your pate, you send the conversion data directly from your server.

Because the facebook conversion api does not rely on the browser to load the facebook pixels, and instead sends the conversion data from a server, the data cannot be blocked by ad blockers, or browser privacy restrictions. Therefore, when using the facebook conversion api, you improve the quality of the conversion data sent to facebook, increase conversion attribution, and can better leverage facebook ads optimization.

The Facebook Conversion API is extremely complex. 

Aside from the standard facebook business requirements, you need to orchestrate both on-site data collection, server-side data processing, and unify the processed data before sending it to the Facebook Conversion API.
