Setting up Bing Ads conversion tracking

You can add conversion tracking for Bing Ads on your Shopify store to better understand the impact of your marketing efforts with Bing. For example, if you run two ads on Bing for different products, then you can see which ad resulted in more sales with conversion tracking.

To begin your Bing ad tracking, you need to have a Bing Ads account. Then, create a Universal Event Tracking (UET) tag in your Bing Ads account and add your UET tag to your Shopify account.

For more information and support with Bing, refer to the Microsoft Advertising Help Center.

Set up conversion tracking

After you add a Universal Event Tracking (UET) tag to your store, you can set up conversion tracking in your Bing Ads account to track when certain events happen. Here are some common events you might want to track:

  • Customer reaches your intended page - If you want to track how many people reach the page your ad links to, then you can add conversion tracking for the same destination URL that you make for the ad.

  • Customer completes a checkout - If you want to track how many customers make a purchase after clicking your ad, then you can add conversion tracking for a destination URL that contains thank_you.
