Integration Guide

Complete guide to integrating CashMyCell Conversion Tracking API into your website.

Overview

CashMyCell uses a click identifier (cmc_id) passed via URL parameters to track user journeys from redirection to successful order completion. The integration requires adding two JavaScript snippets at specific points in your flow.

Flow Summary

CashMyCell redirects users to your website with cmc_id appended as a URL parameter
Script 1 captures the cmc_id and stores it in a browser cookie
Script 2 reads the stored cmc_id upon order confirmation and sends the conversion data to the CashMyCell tracking endpoint

Script 1 – Capture and Store cmc_id

Place this script on your product redirection / landing page. Its purpose is to extract the cmc_id from the URL and store it as a cookie for later use.

javascript

const params = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
const cmcId = params.get("cmc_id");

if (cmcId) {
  document.cookie = "cmc_id=" + cmcId + "; path=/; max-age=2592000";
}

Implementation Notes

The cookie expiry is set to 30 days (2592000 seconds)
Ensure this script runs on every entry page where users may land from CashMyCell
Place it in your page's <head> or early in the <body> tag
No DOM manipulation required, runs asynchronously

Best Practices

Run this script as early as possible on page load
Use it on all landing pages where CashMyCell traffic may arrive
Consider wrapping in a <script> tag without async attribute for guaranteed execution

Script 2 – Order Completion Tracking

Place this script on your checkout confirmation / order success page. It retrieves the stored cmc_id and notifies CashMyCell that an order has been completed.

javascript

function getCookie(name) {
  const value = `; ${document.cookie}`;
  const parts = value.split(`; ${name}=`);
  if (parts.length === 2) return parts.pop().split(";").shift();
  return null;
}

const cmcId = getCookie("cmc_id");
const orderValue = "1499"; // Replace with actual order value

if (cmcId) {
  const img = new Image();
  img.src = "https://api.cashmycell.com/api/v1/public/order-complete" +
    "?status=COMPLETED" +
    "&order_value=" + encodeURIComponent(orderValue) +
    "&cmc_id=" + encodeURIComponent(cmcId) +
    "&ts=" + Date.now();
}

Implementation Notes

Replace orderValue with the actual order amount at runtime
The request is sent as a tracking pixel (Image request), so no UI impact occurs
Ensure this script executes only after a successful order
Place on the order confirmation/thank you page

Important Considerations

Dynamic Order Value: Always replace "1499" with actual order value from your system
Timing: Execute this script AFTER the order is confirmed in your system
No Dependencies: Script works independently, no external libraries needed
Error Handling: Even if request fails, it won't affect user experience

Example Implementations

React Component

jsx

import { useEffect } from 'react';
import { useSearchParams } from 'react-router-dom';

// Script 1: Capture and store cmc_id
export function CaptureTracking() {
  useEffect(() => {
    const params = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
    const cmcId = params.get('cmc_id');

    if (cmcId) {
      document.cookie = `cmc_id=${cmcId}; path=/; max-age=2592000`;
    }
  }, []);

  return null;
}

// Script 2: Track order completion
export function OrderCompleteTracking({ orderValue }) {
  useEffect(() => {
    const getCookie = (name) => {
      const value = `; ${document.cookie}`;
      const parts = value.split(`; ${name}=`);
      if (parts.length === 2) return parts.pop().split(';').shift();
      return null;
    };

    const cmcId = getCookie('cmc_id');

    if (cmcId) {
      const img = new Image();
      img.src = `https://api.cashmycell.com/api/v1/public/order-complete?status=COMPLETED&order_value=${encodeURIComponent(orderValue)}&cmc_id=${encodeURIComponent(cmcId)}&ts=${Date.now()}`;
    }
  }, [orderValue]);

  return null;
}

Plain JavaScript (WooCommerce/WordPress)

javascript

// Add to header.php or theme's functions.php
(function() {
  const params = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
  const cmcId = params.get('cmc_id');
  if (cmcId) {
    document.cookie = `cmc_id=${cmcId}; path=/; max-age=2592000`;
  }
})();

// Add to order-received.php or thank-you page template
(function() {
  function getCookie(name) {
    const value = `; ${document.cookie}`;
    const parts = value.split(`; ${name}=`);
    if (parts.length === 2) return parts.pop().split(';').shift();
    return null;
  }

  const cmcId = getCookie('cmc_id');
  const orderValue = document.querySelector('.woocommerce-price-amount')?.textContent || '0';

  if (cmcId) {
    const img = new Image();
    img.src = `https://api.cashmycell.com/api/v1/public/order-complete?status=COMPLETED&order_value=${encodeURIComponent(orderValue)}&cmc_id=${encodeURIComponent(cmcId)}&ts=${Date.now()}`;
  }
})();

Shopify (Liquid Template)

liquid

<!-- Add to theme.liquid header section -->
<script>
(function() {
  const params = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
  const cmcId = params.get('cmc_id');
  if (cmcId) {
    document.cookie = `cmc_id=${cmcId}; path=/; max-age=2592000`;
  }
})();
</script>

<!-- Add to order confirmation page (thank-you.liquid) -->
{% if order %}
<script>
(function() {
  function getCookie(name) {
    const value = `; ${document.cookie}`;
    const parts = value.split(`; ${name}=`);
    if (parts.length === 2) return parts.pop().split(';').shift();
    return null;
  }

  const cmcId = getCookie('cmc_id');
  const orderValue = '{{ order.total_price }}';

  if (cmcId) {
    const img = new Image();
    img.src = `https://api.cashmycell.com/api/v1/public/order-complete?status=COMPLETED&order_value=${encodeURIComponent(orderValue)}&cmc_id=${encodeURIComponent(cmcId)}&ts=${Date.now()}`;
  }
})();
</script>
{% endif %}

Troubleshooting

Script not capturing cmc_id

Check URL: Verify CashMyCell is sending cmc_id in the URL parameter
Cookie permissions: Ensure third-party cookies are not blocked
Timing: Confirm Script 1 runs before user navigates away
Check browser console: Look for any JavaScript errors

Conversion not tracking

Check Script 2 placement: Ensure it's on the order confirmation page
Verify order value: Confirm orderValue is being replaced with actual value
Network tab: Check if tracking pixel request was sent in DevTools
Cookie presence: Use DevTools to verify cmc_id cookie exists

Common Issues

Issue	Solution
Script runs but no cookie	Check URL has `?cmc_id=value` parameter
Cookie exists but conversion not sent	Verify Script 2 is on confirmation page
Order value shows as wrong	Ensure dynamic value replacement before execution
Multiple tracking calls	Add guard to prevent duplicate Script 2 execution
