Facebook Conversion API (further as FB CAPI) is a way to avoid losing data due cookies blocking, browser loading errors, ad blockers, iOS 14+ changes and other effects that have impact on your Facebook campaign performance. Soon the most widely used web browser Google Chrome is going to limit 3rd party cookies which will affect measured data via Facebook pixel even more. Use FB CAPI to mitigate these issues and get even more benefits:
FB is losing up to 15 - 20 % of signals today, and this will worsen with Google chrome limitation of 3rd party cookies.
By using FB CAPI together with the FB pixel you can reduce your cost per incremental conversion by 7–27% as per official case studies by Facebook.
Data from Conversion API is more resilient than the pixel by browser (loading errors, connectivity issues and ad blockers).
Level Up your measurement by exploiting benefits of Offline FB CAPI, which can help you to measure offline return to your ad spend, show ads to people based on actions they take offline and more.
Optimize your campaigns on better data such as on offline conversions, margins or customer scoring.
