<h2>Customer.io Tracking in Magento: Why Server-Side Beats Client-Side</h2><p>Traditional client-side tracking in Magento often runs into serious limitations. Browser-based tracking methods are easily blocked by adblockers, hindered by Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP), and increasingly restricted by third-party cookie changes. These issues lead to significant data loss—meaning your campaigns and automations in Customer.io are working with incomplete customer journeys.</p><p>The solution? Server-side tracking. By shifting key data flows from browsers to servers, you ensure more reliable, accurate, and privacy-compliant tracking across the full funnel.</p><p>Integrating server-side tracking for Magento with Customer.io greatly increases data accuracy. When implemented correctly, tools like Google Tag Manager (server container), Meta Conversions API, and Stape enable better control over tracking data. We're seeing a documented 20–30% uplift in measured conversions for clients who switch to this setup—a critical edge for performance marketers and e-commerce brands that rely on personalization and lifecycle automation through platforms like MagentoCustomer.io.</p><p>Obsidian Digital has completed over 200 server-side installs across brands like Ecooking, Rains, Intersport, Eyda, Day-et, and Onyx Cookware.
