Why should you connect Stripe and Facebook Conversions API?
Stripe is a powerful payment-processing SaaS platform used by many businesses, online and offline. Facebook Ads is one of the most widely used platforms for advertising, which businesses commonly use to grow their audience and further develop their brand. Without a conversion tracking mechanism, customers who first interact with a brand on Facebook often may not be recognized when they purchase a product via Stripe. Both Stripe and Facebook keep a rich set of data, but without integration, such as from Able CDP, a very low percentage of the purchases will be shown in reports as being attributed to Facebook.
Combining browser and server-side tracking to report conversions via the server-to-server Facebook Conversions API integration solves these problems. Able can help with this.

How Able CDP Integrates Stripe and Facebook Conversions API
Able makes it easy to know which leads and Facebook visitors convert to paying Stripe customers. It allows you to report on actual Stripe revenue and subscriptions rather than conversions to leads, attributing all subsequent Stripe revenue to the original Facebook visitor and campaign—even if it occurs weeks after the initial visit.
Able tracks Stripe subscriptions and payments by processing webhooks from Stripe and attributing them to the original visitor on Facebook tracked by Able.
Able CDP combines browser and back-end tracking to:
Unlike many alternative solutions, Able sends conversions data to both Facebook Pixel (Meta Pixel) and Offline Event Sets. This allows to:

“A valuable insight we've got because of using Able Customer Data Platform is that display ads aren't working for us at all... we've been wasting money for years on paid display ads.
Before Able we'd be excited about every lead or email that came through, but after the last year we've determined that those don't convert at all.
And so we've been focusing on paid search, which does have return on investment.”
