Introducing the Billy Pixel 🥇

Custom Events - Beta 👶

Under settings, you will find a new item that is called Custom Events. This feature is currently in beta and makes it possible to create your own events that are measured via the Billy Pixel.

More information regarding how to add Custom Events is coming soon.

Small (but important) improvements 🔥

Next to these three amazing new features, hereby a summary of other changes:

  • Improved readability of tables throughout the platform;
  • Campaign and Adset tables now have nesting to lower levels, making it possible to navigate from campaign to ad level.
  • Added a UTM page under settings, to directly copy the right UTM for every marketing channel;
  • For Shopify stores several Custom Events are automatically tracked after installing the Billy Pixel. Activate these on the Custom Event page;

Keep in mind that some changes are only visible after you have installed the Billy Pixel. Read this guide for a how-to.

Hey there,

From now on, we will share release updates every time we have important information to share 🙌.

In the last week, we added the following changes:

New Metric: Net Profit 💰

With the Net Profit metric, you will have even more control over your webshop's performance.

  • On the homepage, we added the 'Net Profit' metric.
  • The Net profit metric is calculated as: Revenue - COGS - taxes - shipping cost on order level - total ad spend. The cost of goods sold percentage can be configured on the settings page (Settings -> Profile). This percentage is deducted from the total revenue.
  • More metrics are available and can be added to the homepage by selecting them in the dropdown menu.
  • In the future, we will add more options to accurately calculate the net profit.

New Marketing Channels 🤳

Better overview with more marketing channels.

  • Pinterest and TikTok are now available in the platform.
  • Navigate to Settings -> Authorization to authorize both channels and read this article for the recommended UTM's.

Stock Intelligence

  • We removed the date picker and added different preset periods, this improves the usability and makes it easier to analyse your stock history.
  • The preset date options are: Last 2 weeks, Last 4 weeks, Last 12 weeks and Last 6 months. You can change the period by selecting the dropdown button in the top right of the screen.
