What is Offline Conversion Tracking (OCT)?

Offline Conversion Tracking helps advertisers track conversions that happen
after the customer leaves the website.

This includes phone sales, in-store purchases, CRM deals, demo meetings, and high-ticket sales.

Offline conversions are actions that start online but finish offline. Examples:

  • A lead submits a form → sales team closes the deal

  • A customer clicks an ad → buys in a physical store

  • A user books a call → purchases during the meeting

  • A customer buys through WhatsApp, phone, or invoice

Offline conversion tracking sends this information back to Google Ads,
GA4, and Meta so that the platforms can optimize campaigns based on real sales.

In this article, you’ll learn:

  • What offline conversion tracking is

  • How it works

  • Why it is important

  • How Stape helps improve your tracking accuracy

  • How advertisers can use it with Google Ads, GA4, and Meta Ads


How Offline Conversion Tracking Works:

1. User clicks your ad

  1. System collects click info (GCLID, FBCLID, WBRAID, etc.)

  2. Customer converts offline

  3. CRM sends that data to your tracking system

  4. The event is sent to Google/Meta

  5. The platform matches the conversion with the original click

This allows the platform to understand which ads are producing paying customers.

Best Use Cases

  • B2B websites

  • Real estate

  • Clinics

  • Education institutes

  • Car dealers

  • Furniture stores

  • Offline sellers

  • High-ticket service providers

Any business where the final sale happens offline should use OCT.

Conclusion

Offline conversion tracking is essential for advertisers who want accurate data and better
campaign performance.

With tools like Stape and server-side tracking, sending offline conversions to Google Ads,
GA4, and Meta Ads is now simple and reliable.

Here all the code you need, as shown in this video ⤵️

Time Formet:

YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss

Custom Time Collect by CJS Variable ⤵️

function() {
  function formatDate(date) {
    var year = date.getFullYear();
    var month = (date.getMonth() + 1).toString().padStart(2, '0');
    var day = date.getDate().toString().padStart(2, '0');
    var hours = date.getHours().toString().padStart(2, '0');
    var minutes = date.getMinutes().toString().padStart(2, '0');
    var seconds = date.getSeconds().toString().padStart(2, '0');
    
    return year + '-' + month + '-' + day + ' ' + hours + ':' + minutes + ':' + seconds;
  }

  return formatDate(new Date());
}

Custom gclid collect and sent to server ⤵️

STEP 1️⃣ - Add cHTML Tag All Page Trigger

<script>
(function() {
    // --- Helper: Get URL parameter ---
    function getParam(p) {
        var match = RegExp('[?&]' + p + '=([^&]*)').exec(window.location.search);
        return match && decodeURIComponent(match[1].replace(/\+/g, ' '));
    }

    // --- Helper: Store in localStorage with expiry ---
    function setLocalStorage(key, value, days) {
        var expiry = new Date().getTime() + (days || 90) * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000; // default 90 days
        localStorage.setItem(key, JSON.stringify({ value: value, expiry: expiry }));
    }

    // --- Helper: Read from localStorage ---
    function getLocalStorage(key) {
        var data = localStorage.getItem(key);
        if (!data) return null;
        try {
            var obj = JSON.parse(data);
            if (obj.expiry && obj.expiry < new Date().getTime()) {
                localStorage.removeItem(key);
                return null;
            }
            return obj.value;
        } catch(e) {
            return null;
        }
    }

    // --- Capture GCLID from URL ---
    var gclidParam = getParam('gclid');
    var gclsrcParam = getParam('gclsrc');
    var isGclsrcValid = !gclsrcParam || gclsrcParam.indexOf('aw') !== -1;

    // Store only if not already stored
    if (gclidParam && isGclsrcValid && !getLocalStorage('gclid')) {
        setLocalStorage('gclid', gclidParam, 90);
    }

    // --- Read Google Ads _gcl_aw cookie if exists ---
    function getCookie(name) {
        var match = document.cookie.match(new RegExp("(^| )" + name + "=([^;]+)"));
        return match ? match[2] : null;
    }

    var gclAwCookie = getCookie('_gcl_aw');

        if (parts.length > 2 && !getLocalStorage('gclid')) {
            setLocalStorage('gclid', parts[2], 90); // only store if not already present
        }
    }

})();
</script>

STEP 2️⃣ - Create CJS Variable to collect gclid and sent

function() {
    var data = localStorage.getItem('gclid');
    if (!data) return undefined;
    try {
        var obj = JSON.parse(data);
        if (obj.expiry && obj.expiry < new Date().getTime()) {
            localStorage.removeItem('gclid');
            return undefined;
        }
        return obj.value;
    } catch(e) {
        return undefined;
    }
}
