Conversion tracking is actually just an extension of event tracking. A Perfect Audience "in-app conversion" is just a tracked event with extra metadata attached, associated with a conversion goal in your Perfect Audience dashboard. When setting up tracking for an event that you want to count as a conversion, you may want to pass in extra meta data with the event. You can do so using the method below. [block:code] { "codes": [ { "code": "[Marin trackEvent:@\"Purchase\"\n withOrderId:@\"12345\"\n revenue:@\"19.99\"\n conversionMetadata:nil\n metadata:nil];", "language": "objectivec" } ] } [/block] The **orderId** should be an identifier unique to your system. This can be used for de-duplication. **Revenue** is a monetary value associated with the conversion. Currently the revenue value is currency agnostic. ## Creating an In-app Conversion Goal in Perfect Audience Once the event you want to count as a conversion has appeared in your account, you can create a conversion goal attached to it. Navigate to the **Create Conversion** page on your account. [block:image] { "images": [ { "image": [ "https://files.readme.io/CWb2AYjRSkqiH5LhPyAz_6fwy986u.png", "6fwy986u.png", "283", "451", "#27669b", "" ] } ] } [/block] From the **Create Conversion** page, select the event you want to associate to a conversion. Fill out the rest of the form and then click **Create Conversion Goal**. [block:image] { "images": [ { "image": [ "https://files.readme.io/LrQutWhmR8OcsDWBYbPS_gjld32rc.png", "gjld32rc.png", "642", "444", "#1c67a5", "" ] } ] } [/block] After the conversion creation all subsequent events that match the **Purchase** event will also be associated with the newly created conversion. <div style="display:none;"> There are several additional fields supported by Marin that can be passed in the conversionMetaData param. NSDictionary *conversionMetadata = @{ @"currency_code": @"", @"order_id": @"", @"order_type": @"", @"product_id": @[], @"product_category": @[], @"product_quantity": @[], @"product_unit_price": @[], @"marin_convType": @[], @"marin_order_id": @[] }; [Marin trackEvent:@"Purchase" withOrderId:@"12345" revenue:@"12.99" conversionMetadata:conversionMetadata metadata:nil]; </div>
