This PayPal integration guide is created for websites that use PayPal as the only payment provide and applies to cases of non-recurring payments.
In order to successfully integrate tracking of your PayPal payment provider, you will need to set up your system using the instructions in the Pending Settings section in the system and then by tracking for clicks and conversions by following the guide below.
Add a click script to your landing pages. Click tracking code needs to be placed on every page of your website. Make sure that it is placed in the
<head>tag, ideally as high as possible.<!-- Trackdesk tracker begin -->
<script async src="//cdn.trackdesk.com/tracking.js"></script> <script>
(function(t,d,k){(t[k]=t[k]||[]).push(d);t[d]=t[d]||t[k].f||function(){(t[d].q=t[d].q||[]).push(arguments)}})(window,"trackdesk","TrackdeskObject");
trackdesk('YOUR TENANT ID', 'click');
</script>
<!-- Trackdesk tracker end -->Make sure to replace YOUR TENANT ID with your actual tenant ID.
