Conversion Tracking Overview

What you’ll learn: Understand what conversion tracking is, how Li2 tracks customer journeys from touchpoint interaction to conversion, and why this is critical for measuring marketing ROI.

What is Conversion Tracking?

Conversion Tracking is Li2’s system for following the complete customer journey from their first interaction with your touchpoint (via short link, QR code, or NFC tag) through to valuable actions like signups (leads) and purchases (sales). Unlike basic analytics that only measure visits (aggregate interactions: link clicks, QR scans, NFC taps), conversion tracking helps you understand exactly which touchpoints generate real customers and actual revenue.

Accurate Attribution

Identify which touchpoints lead to successful conversions

Customer Journey

Track from first interaction through to completed purchase

True ROI

Measure actual revenue generated by each touchpoint and campaign

How Conversion Tracking Works

Li2 uses a visit-based attribution model to track the entire customer journey:
1

Customer Interacts with Touchpoint

Customer interacts with touchpoint through one of these methods:
  • Click a short link
  • Scan a QR code
  • Tap an NFC tag
Li2 generates a unique click ID to track this user and records a visit.
2

Visit Information Stored

The system records visit information:
  • Which touchpoint was used
  • Interaction channel (link/QR/NFC)
  • Click ID to identify the user
  • Time, device, geographic location
  • Referrer source
3

Lead Event - Customer Shows Interest

When the customer takes a valuable action such as:
  • Creating an account
  • Filling out a contact form
  • Subscribing to updates
The system creates a Lead Event linked to the original click ID (from the initial visit), knowing exactly which touchpoint generated this lead.
4

Sale Event - Successful Conversion

When the customer completes a purchase, Li2 records:
  • Transaction amount (supports USD and VND)
  • Link to previous lead event
  • Attribution to original touchpoint
You know exactly which touchpoint generated how much revenue.
5

Customer Profile Aggregation

Li2 automatically creates and updates a Customer Profile with:
  • Total leads and sales
  • Total revenue
  • First touchpoint they interacted with (first-touch attribution)
  • Complete event timeline

Key Concepts

Lead Event

A lead event marks when a customer shows genuine interest in your product or service. Example Lead Events:
  • Account signup
  • Contact form submission
  • Newsletter subscription
  • Product demo request
  • Add to cart
Why track leads? Lead events help you distinguish between “browsers” and “genuinely interested prospects”. This is essential for calculating conversion rates from visit → lead → sale.

Sale Event

A sale event marks successful conversion - the customer has completed a purchase. Information captured:
  • Transaction amount
  • Currency (USD or VND)
  • Invoice ID (for deduplication)
  • Payment processor (Stripe, PayPal, etc.)
  • Link to previous lead event
Multi-currency support: Li2 currently supports USD and VND. The system stores the actual currency of each transaction and automatically converts to your organization’s default currency when calculating total revenue.

Customer Profile

Each customer has a profile aggregating all their activity: Identification:
  • Email (unique within organization)
  • Name, phone number
  • External ID (for linking to external systems)
Attribution information:
  • First touchpoint: The first touchpoint they interacted with
  • First click ID: Click ID of their first interaction
Aggregated metrics:
  • Total lead events
  • Total sale events
  • Total revenue (converted to default currency)
