Barion Pixel API reference

Consent (grantConsent, rejectConsent)

  • User intent: Give or reject Barion Pixel consent
  • To be implemented at: Inside your own consent management software
  • Why do we need this: Participation of webshop clients is entirely consent based complying with the GDPR

Consent events determine which of the sent data can be used by us for marketing purposes. Two consent events can be used to control user consent. The "grantConsent" event has to be sent when the visitor accepts the cookie policy that expressly allows Barion to use data for marketing purposes. Sending this event must be handled by your own consent management implementation that you are responsible for as outlined in our terms. The "rejectConsent" event should be sent when the customer rejects the cookie policy that includes Barion Pixel functionality. It should be noted that rejecting Barion marketing consent does not mean that no data should be sent towards Barion, as Barion has a legitimate interest using this data for fraud management. Rejecting Barion consent however means that the data from that session will not be used for marketing purposes at all, despite receiving it. All consent events are sent by calling the Pixel's consent function as shown below. Usage of a fully compliant consent management platform (CMP) is strongly recommended by Barion. You can find our recommendation here


Consent event implementation example

   
        bp('consent', 'grantConsent');
        bp('consent', 'rejectConsent');
    

Encrypting personal data (setEncryptedEmail, setEncryptedPhone)

  • Firing event: On click or per pageview when email / phone number is globally or occasionally available for the given user.
  • User intent: User types in their email (or phone number) for any reason, such as signing in, within checkout when placing an order, signig up for newsletter, etc.
  • Why do we need this: More accurate data collection after third party cookie phase out in compliance with GDPR.

We do not collect unencrypted personally identifiable information (PII). All PII data is encrypted by the SHA-1 algorithm that hides the real, human readable email address and phone number. The encryption process will always happen on Barion side whenever an unencrypted email address (or phone number) is being sent but it is also possible to send a previously SHA-1 encrypted email address (or phone number). Sending an empty string, invalid email address (or phone number) or a not properly hashed value will result in an error message. Please send email with lowercase letter and the phone number as customer type in.


setEncryptedEmail / setEncryptedPhone implementation example

   
        bp('identity','setEncryptedEmail', '[email protected]');
        bp('identity','setEncryptedPhone', '+36301234567');
    

OR

   
        var hashedEmailAddress = sha1('[email protected]');
        bp('identity','setEncryptedEmail', hashedEmailAddress);

        var hashedPhone = sha1('+36301234567');
        bp('identity','setEncryptedPhone', hashedPhone);

    

Content View (contentView)

  • Firing event: Page load of item pages minimally, preferably on all pages that refers to a single item or other information.
  • User intent: View the page that shows a single offer described exclusively or retrieve any information about something.
  • Why do we need this: Offer descriptions help us know more about your offers and ecommerce behaviour.


This event should be fired when one of your users visit a page that refers to one of your items that can be bought or users read other information about something that is not connected to an item directly (e.g.: news, description, articles, blog posts etc.). Except product page, in most cases the page title is adequate for name property.

Add to Cart (addToCart)

  • Firing event: Button click that results in a product to be selected for purchase
  • User intent: Select product for purchase
  • Why do we need this: Users demonstrate strong interest in your items by selecting them for purchase

The add to cart event is, as its name suggests, connected to a user "adding a product to their cart". Usually this means that a user decide to purchase a product or service, and has added this item to their cart. Even if your website does not use carts in the literal sense, there is a point in a user session where the given user decides that they intend to purchase the product. This exact intent is what we want to capture here, so the button click which best matches the point of this intent, such as one labeled 'Buy' or 'Reserve' should be the one to attach this event to.

Usually on a webshop, there is a checkout process that starts with clicking a button with items in your cart. This button click is the one that this event should be attached to. After this click, typically the user has to provide other data, such as a shipping address and method, and confirm the purchase (which should fire the initiate purchase event).

The pages that this event can be inserted into are mostly sign up or sign in pages, newsletter subscription pages, and any other page where the user can provide information about themselves.

Click promo event implementation examples:


Sign Up (signUp)

  • Firing event: Button click that completes the registration or login process
  • User intent: Register for or login to a user account or a newsletter subscription
  • Why do we need this: Users demonstrate interest in your market area by signing up for an account

This event should be usually sent along the set user properties event in registration process, since this event only captures the actual signup, not the user itself. This event should both be fired if a user registers for an account or subscription for the first time and when they login afterwards. Unsuccessful login or signup events should cause error events to be sent. If possible, it is better if only successful attempts send a sign up event, but it is more important for all signing ups to send an event than for each signup to be only sent once.

Search (search)

  • Firing event: Button click that starts a search on a page
  • User intent: Search for an offer on your page
  • Why do we need this: Users demonstrate interest in an offer by searching for it

This event is quite straightforward, every time a search button is clicked, this should send. If the search has no search button, but instead gives results on the change of the search box, then this event can be sent if the user clicks on a result. In this case, searches are sent asynchronously for partial search terms, which should not in themselves send an event. If you have a product selection page where items can be filtered, then the same can apply, the search string in this case can be the query that the settings make that can be read in your browser address bar in HTTP properties (eg. 'goats' in this: 'https://www.google.com/search?ei=A3rRXNHmJY-nrgSJs5HgDQ&q=goats').
