Client-side Integration

Track leads and sales directly from the browser. This method is simple to implement but can be blocked by ad blockers.

Client-side tracking can be blocked by ad blockers. For maximum reliability, we strongly recommend Server-side Integration instead.

Prerequisites

Important: For conversion tracking to work, users must arrive on your website via a Taapit deeplink. This is how the tracking ID (ta_tid) is generated and passed to your site.

Before you start:

Create a Taapit deeplink pointing to your website or landing page
Enable conversion tracking on your link:
- Go to your link settings in the Taapit dashboard
- Enable Conversion Tracking

Then, configure your Taapit workspace:

Go to Conversion settings

In your Taapit dashboard, go to Settings → Conversion 2. In the dropdown, select Manual Client-side Integration

Add your allowed hostnames

In the Allowed Hostnames section, add your website domains (e.g., example.com, www.example.com) 2. Click Save

The SDK will only work on domains listed in your allowed hostnames. Don’t forget to add both www and non-www versions if needed.

Get your Publishable Key

Copy your Publishable Key (starts with taapit_pk_) 2. You’ll use this key in the next steps

If you don’t have a publishable key yet, click Generate Key to create one.

Installation

Choose your preferred method:

NPM Package (React/Next.js)
Script Tag (No Build Step)

Install the SDK

npm install taapit-sdk

Add the Analytics component

Add the Analytics component to your root layout to automatically capture the ta_tid:

app/layout.tsx

import { Analytics } from 'taapit-sdk/react';

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html>
      <body>
        {children}
        <Analytics publishableKey="taapit_pk_xxx" />
      </body>
    </html>
  );
}

Get your publishable key from the Taapit Dashboard.

Add this script to your HTML <head> or before </body>:

<script
  src="https://taap.it/api/sdk"
  data-publishable-key="taapit_pk_xxx"
></script>

The script automatically:

Captures the ta_tid from the URL when users arrive
Stores it in a cookie for 365 days
Exposes the global taapit object

Alternative methods:

<!-- Via URL parameter -->
<script src="https://taap.it/api/sdk?key=taapit_pk_xxx"></script>

<!-- Or configure programmatically -->
<script src="https://taap.it/api/sdk"></script>
<script>
  taapit.configure({ publishableKey: "taapit_pk_xxx" });
</script>

Track a Lead

A lead is a potential customer who shows interest (sign-up, form submission, trial start).

trackingId for leads: The trackingId is always required for lead events. It is automatically detected from the ta_tid cookie set when the user clicked a Taapit link.

NPM Package
Script Tag

components/signup-form.tsx

'use client';

import { useTaapitAnalytics } from 'taapit-sdk/react';

export function SignUpForm() {
  const { trackLead, isReady, trackingId } = useTaapitAnalytics();

const handleSubmit = async (formData: FormData) => {
const email = formData.get('email') as string;
const name = formData.get('name') as string;

    // Create user in your system
    const user = await createUser({ email, name });

    // Track the lead with Taapit
    trackLead({
      customer: {
        externalId: user.id,      // Required: your user ID
        email: user.email,
        firstname: user.firstName,
        lastname: user.lastName,
      },
      metadata: {
        source: 'signup-form',
        plan: 'free-trial',
      },
    });

};

return (

<form action={handleSubmit}>
  <input name="name" placeholder="Name" required />
  <input name="email" type="email" placeholder="Email" required />
  <button type="submit">Start Free Trial</button>
</form>
); }

Direct import (alternative)

import { taapit } from 'taapit-sdk/react';

export function SignUpButton() {
  const handleClick = async () => {
    const user = await signUp();
    taapit.trackLead({
      customer: { externalId: user.id, email: user.email },
    });
  };

  return <button onClick={handleClick}>Sign Up</button>;
}

<script>
  document.getElementById('signup-form').addEventListener('submit', async (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    
    const formData = new FormData(e.target);
    
    // Create user via your API
    const response = await fetch('/api/signup', {
      method: 'POST',
      body: formData,
    });
    const user = await response.json();
    
    // Track the lead
    taapit.trackLead({
      customer: {
        externalId: user.id,
        email: formData.get('email'),
        firstname: formData.get('name').split(' ')[0],
        lastname: formData.get('name').split(' ').slice(1).join(' '),
      },
    });
    
    window.location.href = '/dashboard';
  });
</script>

Track a Sale

A sale is a completed transaction (purchase, subscription, payment).

trackingId for sales: If the customer was already tracked via a lead event, the trackingId is optional. You only need the customerExternalId to link the sale to the existing customer. If this is a new customer (no prior lead), the user must have a valid ta_tid cookie (set by clicking a Taapit link).

NPM Package
Script Tag

components/checkout.tsx

'use client';

import { useTaapitAnalytics } from 'taapit-sdk/react';

export function CheckoutButton({ cart, user }) {
  const { trackSale } = useTaapitAnalytics();

const handlePurchase = async () => {
// Process payment
const order = await processPayment(cart);

    // Track the sale with Taapit
    trackSale({
      customer: {
        externalId: user.id,
        email: user.email,
      },
      amount: cart.total,  // e.g., 49.99 (NOT cents)
      currency: 'eur',     // ISO 4217 code
      metadata: {
        orderId: order.id,
        items: cart.items.length,
      },
    });

    router.push(`/order/${order.id}`);

};

return (

<button onClick={handlePurchase}>Complete Purchase - €{cart.total}</button>
); }

<script>
  document.getElementById('checkout-btn').addEventListener('click', async () => {
    // Process payment via your API
    const response = await fetch('/api/checkout', {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
      body: JSON.stringify({ cartId: 'cart_123' }),
    });
    const order = await response.json();

    // Track the sale
    taapit.trackSale({
      customer: {
        externalId: order.userId,
        email: order.customerEmail,
      },
      amount: order.total,
      currency: order.currency,
      metadata: { orderId: order.id },
    });

    window.location.href = `/order/${order.id}`;
  });
</script>

The amount must be in currency units, not cents. - ✅ amount: 29.99 for €29.99 - ❌ amount: 2999 (this would be €2999)

Available Methods

// Get the current tracking ID
const trackingId = taapit.getTrackingId();

// Track a lead (trackingId is ALWAYS required - auto-detected from cookie)
taapit.trackLead({
  customer: {
    externalId: 'user_123',    // Required
    email: '[email protected]',
    firstname: 'John',
    lastname: 'Doe',
    phoneNumber: '+33612345678',
    avatarUrl: 'https://example.com/avatar.jpg',
  },
  metadata: { ... },  // Optional custom data
});

// Track a sale
// trackingId is optional if customer was already tracked via a lead event
taapit.trackSale({
  customer: { externalId: 'user_123' },  // Required - links to existing customer
  amount: 99.99,      // Required
  currency: 'eur',    // Required (ISO 4217)
  metadata: { ... },
});

Best Practices

1. Always track after confirmation

// ✅ Good - Track after action is confirmed
const user = await createUser(data);
taapit.trackLead({ customer: { externalId: user.id } });

// ❌ Bad - Track before confirmation
taapit.trackLead({ customer: { externalId: "pending" } });
const user = await createUser(data); // Might fail!

2. Handle missing tracking IDs gracefully

const trackingId = taapit.getTrackingId();

if (trackingId) {
  taapit.trackLead({...});
}
// Continue with your flow even without tracking

3. Use stable external IDs

// ✅ Good - Use your database ID
customer: {
  externalId: user.id;
}

// ❌ Bad - Don't use transient values
customer: {
  externalId: session.id;
}

Limitations

Ad blockers may block tracking requests
Browser restrictions can prevent cookies from being set
Page close before tracking completes loses the event

For critical conversions like sales, consider Server-side Integration.
