F. Troubleshoot duplicated events
Along with the above method, you can track your customer behaviors by manually adding the Twitter Pixel tracking script to Additional Script. However, if the two methods are applied simultaneously, each event will be sent more than once, leading to the data duplication.
To solve this problem, go to Preferences > Additional scripts and delete the Twitter Pixel script added before.
When an action happens on your online store after you've added a Twitter Pixel in ShopBase, Twitter counts the action as an event. You can use event data to learn more about how customers interact with your store.
After you integrate a Twitter Pixel with your online store, it automatically tracks 4 events, with their descriptions as follows:
Content view: When a visitor views a product page.
Add to cart: When a visitor adds a product to the shopping cart.
Checkout initiated: When a visitor clicks on the checkout button.
Purchase: When a visitor completes a purchase and views the thank you page in the checkout.
