Add custom tracking code to the web receipt

How to add conversion tracking, analytics, or affiliate tracking code that fires only the first time a customer sees their receipt.

Most conversion tracking scripts (analytics, ad platforms, affiliate programs) need to fire once per completed transaction — not every time the receipt is viewed. Wrapping your tracking code in the first_receipt_display variable ensures it only fires the first time a customer sees their receipt.

Steps

  1. 1

    Go to the Foxy admin.

  2. 2

    Go to Settings > Templates.

  3. 3

    In the Custom header section, add your tracking code wrapped in a first_receipt_display check:

{% if first_receipt_display %}
<!-- Insert Tracking Code Here -->
{% endif %}

Notes

  • first_receipt_display is true only the first time the receipt loads for a given transaction — if the customer reloads the page or revisits the receipt later, the code inside the if block won’t run again.

  • The custom footer runs on the cart, checkout, and receipt templates, so the first_receipt_display check is what scopes the code to the receipt specifically.
