Analytics
There are two ways to get analytics off a Throttle checkout: Throttle's first-party tracking settings for GA4 and Meta, or your own script. Pick based on whether a vendor secret is involved.
Which one
| If you need | Use |
|---|---|
| GA4 and/or Meta purchase tracking, including server-side forwarding | Track conversions — the built-in path. Secrets (GA4's Measurement Protocol API secret, Meta's Conversions API token) stay server-side. |
| Something Throttle does not build in — a custom collector, cookie-based attribution stitching, a vendor with no secret to protect | Your own scripts — merchant-authored JavaScript Throttle runs in an isolated sandbox on hosted checkout. |
| A product feed for Google Merchant Center / Meta Commerce Manager | Product feeds — Throttle stores no catalog, so this is a recipe for building one from your own catalog source. |
