How it works
Four steps. No developer.
Tracking made so simple anyone can do it. Add one line, share smarter links, see the whole path, then send real sales to Meta.
- Set up in minutes
- No coding
- Private by default
A demo in four steps: someone taps the short link go.junipercandle.shop/bio in an Instagram bio, visits /shop/spring-candles, buys for $48, the sale is credited to the bio link, and Datacenter sends it to Meta.
Your ad platform sees only part of the story.
Each platform reports on its own ads, from its own pixel. Everything around it goes dark.

|---|---|---|
| Spring sale, video | 26 | |
| Gift sets, carousel | 17 | |
| Lookalike, 3% | 12 | |
| Retargeting, 30 days | 10 | |
| Total, 4 ad sets | 65 |
Better data
Same ads. Now you see every sale.
- Sales on another day or from an email
- Sales from texts and bio links
- Six ways to credit a sale, from first touch to time decay
- Day 0Tapped your bio link on Instagram
- Day 1Opened your spring sale email
- Day 3Came back from a text message link
- Day 3Bought a gift set, $64
- Day 31Bought again, $48
Example journey. Demo data.
The gap
One buyer. Five touches. One tool that saw it all.
A link tool stops at the tap. An ad platform sees its own ad. Datacenter follows one person from the first tap to the last order.
- Every tap on a short link
- Every visit, with its source
- Every sale, tied back

Who gets the credit
Same journey. Two fair answers.
A buyer tapped your bio link, read an email, then bought from a text. The report lets you pick how to credit it.
First touch
Instagram bio link
Where they first came from. Good for finding new buyers.
Last touch
Text message link
The visit right before they bought. Good for what closes the sale.
Send sales back
Meta learns from real sales.
When a goal is reached, Datacenter sends it to the Meta Conversions API from our server. On Solo, Studio, Agency and Custom.
- The event, its value and the page
- The click id from the ad, so Meta can match it
- An event id, so Meta counts it once
- Email and phone only when you send them, hashed first

Questions, answered.
Do I need a developer?
No. You copy one line and paste it where your site builder says. On WordPress, our plugin connects in one click. If an AI tool builds your site, Set it up with AI gives it one prompt that does it. Short links need no setup at all.
What is a UTM tag?
A label at the end of a link, like ?utm_source=sms. It tells Datacenter where a click came from. The chips on the link form add them for you.
What is first touch and last touch?
Two ways to give credit for a sale. First touch credits where the person first came from. Last touch credits the visit right before they bought. You can switch between them in the report.
How does the Meta connection work?
You paste your pixel id and an access token from Meta, then tick the goals to send. Datacenter sends them to the Meta Conversions API from our server. It is on Solo, Studio, Agency and Custom.
Do I need a cookie banner?
Not for Private mode, the default. It sets no cookies and stores nothing in the browser. 90-day tracking keeps an id for 90 days, so in many places it needs consent first.
What happens after the sale?
You can send the client a report on a schedule, and let a flow follow up with the buyer. Both read the same data as your dashboard.
What if a sale happens days later?
With 90-day tracking, Datacenter keeps a first-party id on your own domain for 90 days. A sale on day 9 still ties back to the click on day 1.
