Send every Recharge event to the Meta Conversions API, server-side

Each event is resolved to a person against a 750M+ device graph before it reaches the Meta Conversions API, with restored click IDs, deduplicated conversions and delivery you can audit.

How it flows

How a Recharge event reaches the Meta Conversions API. Captured on the server, resolved to a person, then sent.

01 Capture

Captured from Recharge

Bring subscription events into the same resolved customer: new subscriptions, renewals, churn and reactivation.

See the Recharge integration
RechargeWhat it sends
  • subscription_idthe subscription, not the order
  • charge_ideach recurring charge
  • email / phonesubscriber contact
  • statusactive, cancelled, paused, reactivated
  • is_first_chargenew subscription versus renewal
  • product / frequencywhat they subscribed to and how often

02 Understand

Resolved to one person before it leaves

Every Recharge event is matched against a 750M+ device graph, so a phone browse and a desktop checkout resolve to one customer rather than two strangers.

How resolution works
Upstack DataResolved before it is sent
  • IdentityMatched against a 750M+ device graph, so a phone browse and a desktop checkout resolve to one customer.
  • customer_typeNew or returning, resolved before send.
  • DeduplicationBrowser and server copies of the same purchase collapse on event ID, so nothing is counted twice.
  • Bot and fraud filteringAutomated traffic never reaches the model, because what you keep out of the training set matters as much as what goes in.

Ad platforms accept almost anything and tell you very little. These controls exist so you can see what was sent and what was accepted, rather than inferring it from a reporting gap.

03 Activate

Delivered to the Meta Conversions API

Forward deduplicated, identity-resolved conversions to Meta through the Conversions API, and give the model a customer instead of a session.

Which events reach the Meta Conversions API

Each Upstack event is mapped to the Meta Conversions API event below before it is sent.

Upstack eventSent to Meta Conversions API asKey data on the event
Page viewPageViewURL, referrer, user agent
Product viewViewContentcontent_ids, content_type, value, currency
Add to cartAddToCartcontent_ids, value, currency
CheckoutInitiateCheckoutvalue, currency, num_items
PurchasePurchasevalue, currency, order_id, content_ids

Every event carries every available match key: em, ph, fn, ln, ct, st, zp and country, plus fbc, fbp and external_id. Personal data is hashed with SHA-256 before it leaves Upstack.

The catch

Recharge fires a charge event on every renewal.

Forwarded naively, your ad platform learns that customers you already acquired keep converting, and prospecting drifts toward people who look like existing subscribers. Only the first charge is an acquisition.

Where to check in the Meta Conversions APIDelivery you can audit

Events Manager your dataset Event Match Quality

Server events appear with a Server badge, and Event Match Quality is scored per event type.

What changes

What changes when Recharge feeds the Meta Conversions API. Two gains on the Meta Conversions API side, two on the Recharge side.

Meta Conversions API

Higher Event Match Quality

More hashed identifiers on every event (email, phone, external ID, click ID), so EMQ rises and Meta matches more of what you send.

Meta Conversions API

Pixel and CAPI, one install

One source of truth for both, with browser and server events deduplicated on event_id so purchases are never double-counted.

Recharge

Subscriptions as their own conversion

Send new subscriptions to the ad platforms as a distinct event, not lumped in with one-time orders.

Recharge

Renewals counted properly

Recurring charges are forwarded as real revenue, so LTV reporting reflects what the customer is actually worth.

    Add the Meta destination

    Under Destinations, add Facebook Advertising with your Pixel ID (a 15 or 16 digit number) and a Conversions API token generated in Events Manager, which starts with EAA.

  3. 03

    Check Event Match Quality

    Upstack marks the destination Healthy, and Events Manager lists the server events with a Server badge. Open your dataset’s Event Match Quality: it is scored per event type, and Meta takes 24 to 48 hours to score new events.

FAQ

Questions about Recharge and the Meta Conversions API.

What is Event Match Quality (EMQ) and why does it matter?

EMQ is Meta’s score, from 0 to 10, for how reliably it can match a conversion event back to a Meta user. Higher EMQ gives Meta’s algorithm more signal to optimize against, and server-side delivery through CAPI typically raises it because events carry more match keys and are not blocked by browser restrictions.

Will purchases be counted twice with the Pixel and the Conversions API both running?

No. Upstack sends a shared event_id on every server-side event, and Meta deduplicates against the matching browser Pixel event. As long as the Pixel ID in Upstack matches the Pixel ID firing in your storefront, deduplication is automatic.

Which events does the Meta Conversions API receive?

PageView, ViewContent, AddToCart, InitiateCheckout and Purchase, each mapped to the Meta Conversions API event of the same name.

Which customer parameters are sent to the Meta Conversions API?

Every event carries every available match key: em, ph, fn, ln, ct, st, zp and country, plus fbc, fbp and external_id. Personal data is hashed with SHA-256 before it leaves Upstack.

How do I check that Recharge events are reaching the Meta Conversions API?

Upstack marks the destination Healthy, and Events Manager lists the server events with a Server badge. Open your dataset’s Event Match Quality: it is scored per event type, and Meta takes 24 to 48 hours to score new events.

How long does it take to connect Recharge to the Meta Conversions API?
