Elevar Conversion Tracking

We’ve been using Elevar for a few months, and it’s been a game-changer. The integration with Shopify Plus was seamless, and our data accuracy has significantly improved. The support team is ​g​reat, knowledgeable, responsive and genuinely helpful. Highly recommended!

Fantastic app and experience. Have had a big sales boost with using Elavar. Paul did such a great job helping us figure out our Klaviyo flows and reviewing our Facebook account to ensure everything was working properly. Couldn't recommend this app highly enough!

Must have for your store. The Elevar team is great (Darshak thanks again) and was very helpful in getting everything connected as needed.

Elevar has tremendously improved our tracking across all platforms. Seeing tangible results immediately was very satisfying and we were able to capture many more events that the standard GTM set up was not capturing. We saw an immediate 50% higher add to cart events, a lift in Meta ROAS, and solidified GA4 - a platform that, historically, has not been exceptionally consistent prior. This is a no brainer if you are looking to bolster your data. This simply helps you capture more of the data that is actually happening on your website.

Iago Gomes was our implementation specialist and it was truly a pleasure working with him. He was able to answer the many questions we had and made us feel very confident in the approach. The go-live was surprisingly simple, and went without a hitch. We could not afford to have anything go wrong with the implementation and we have been very happy with the results.

I can't recommend Elevar enough.

The implementation for our client was seamless and Sourabh was amazing at helping with all our questions, follow-ups and QA! Definitely recommend for others!

Absolutely incredible customer service, especially when I wanted my tracking to be checked over.

Elevar is extremely underrated. Recommended to us by a business coach - A simple set-up process, helpful hands-on team and fair fee results in paying for itself and then some from almost instantly cleaned data. Klaviyo within itself has raised massively in flow revenue, not to mention GA4 and Meta. Elevar is a no-brainer.

Why Did Elevar Cost Us Millions?

One year ago, we decided to improve our conversion tracking on Facebook and Google Ads, so we switched to Elevar. To ensure everything would work flawlessly from the start, we even paid a few hundred dollars extra for their expert installation.

To our surprise, once the work was handed over, there was a 35% inaccuracy in tracking—even worse than before Elevar. Despite repeated assurances from Elevar that everything was fine, the issue persisted. Their approach to addressing the problem was superficial at best, and time kept slipping away. The result? Several months of essentially non-functional tracking, during which we spent a fortune on campaign costs while losing even more revenue due to the missing 35% of data and conversions. Running campaigns effectively with such inaccurate data was impossible.

When the situation became unbearable, we decided to leave Elevar and requested a refund for the installation and subscription fees. Instead of issuing a refund, they suddenly assigned someone more experienced to fix the tracking. It finally started working properly, but the financial losses caused by their negligence were irreparable. As compensation, they offered us a lifetime 50% discount on the subscription.

For a while, the tracking worked. Then we encountered a new issue—this time with tracking in Klaviyo. Shopify launched a server-side integration with Klaviyo, but Elevar failed to notify customers that this major change would affect them. A single email alert could have prevented the losses. As a result, our Klaviyo tracking stopped working, bringing all our flows to a halt. Once again, Elevar's response was evasive—they wouldn’t admit whether Shopify’s server-side integration conflicted with their own tracking. After weeks of back-and-forth communication, it was confirmed that it did. Their proposed solution? Duplicating our flows: one set running on Shopify’s tracking and the other on Elevar’s. This approach was labor-intensive and utterly pointless. More money wasted.

Adding insult to injury, during this ordeal, their support casually mentioned that we were on an outdated plan that wasn’t advantageous anymore. Following their advice, we switched to a new plan. Something felt off, so I reviewed their original pricing. It turned out the new plan wasn’t more advantageous at all—it was worse. When confronted, their support responded with the same arrogant attitude we had come to expect. So much for their apology with the 50% discount—it didn’t last long. This isn’t just about money; it’s about principles.

Now, five days before our biggest sales event—Black Week—we’re facing another disaster. For two months, Google had blocked all our custom retargeting audiences. After extensive investigation, we discovered that Elevar was at fault again. They had failed to meet Google Consent V2 requirements. For years, we had been using the Pandectes app for Google Consent without issues. However, Elevar implemented a half-baked consent solution without notifying us, negatively affecting the functionality of the Pandectes app. The result? We lost months of retargeting data and spent endless hours communicating with Google support to determine why our audiences were completely blocked.

By the way, these audiences won’t reactivate—we are starting completely from scratch. And imagine the impact of losing a 540-day audience window, especially before Black Week! A single email alert from Elevar could have prevented these losses. We’re talking about millions here.

So now, with just five days until Black Week, we have no retargeting audiences collected. Elevar’s response? Arrogant as ever. They’re demanding another $1,000 for an “expert installation” to fix the issue—despite knowing the extent of the damage they’ve caused. They’re fully aware we plan to leave them right after Black Week, but we don’t have time to implement a new tracking system before such a critical event.

In nearly two years of working with Elevar, the financial losses we’ve incurred are staggering. Even if they offered us a free subscription for a thousand years, it wouldn’t begin to cover the damage.

As the saying goes, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Hopefully, someone can learn from our mistakes and avoid the unnecessary stress and financial loss we’ve endured with Elevar.

Great peace of mind to know that conversions and pixels are connected properly. Super easy Shopify integration, we mainly use this as data layer. We also paid for the GTM account cleanup and the person assigned to our account was very knowledgable. Great value for the money.

The team at Elevar have been really supportive in getting our tracking properly sorted especially as as we have a static headless Shopify site, nothing is normal.
Not just getting it up and running smoothly but also making sure when changes need to be done with new events added I know who to ask to get it sorted right in the first place. Thanks Mario and the team at Elevar. Cheers Tim
