Getting started
How do I test my first conversion?
The setup assistant has a step called “Run a test conversion”. It creates a test purchase with a test visit before it, both stored as test data: they appear immediately in the live checklist, the journey shows an attributed touchpoint, and they stay excluded from standard reports.
How do I check that a conversion arrives correctly?
- 01Open “Setup” and go to the step “Run a test conversion”.
- 02Click “Trigger test conversion”. Metrunio sends a test visit with the campaign “metrunio-test” and, one minute later, a test purchase of €99, both as test data.
- 03Watch the live checklist: “Conversion received” and “Journey created” must appear.
- 04Check the journey under “Customer journeys”; “Show test data” switches the list to test data.
- 05Reset the test data before you go live.
To verify your own shop end to end, place an order in test mode as well: set testMode: true in the SDK, or send the server event with environment: "test".
Funnel steps of an application are checked under “Orders & goals”: “Send test step” on a step creates a test event that counts immediately as a conversion of that step, in the test data and not in the reports.
Note
The test visit is only an example so you can see what an attribution looks like; it never appears in production data. If a real order shows the conversion but without a measured touchpoint before it, and therefore unattributed, a shared identifier between website and shop is usually missing. The article “Why is a conversion not attributed?” lists the possible causes.

Do my tests distort the reports?
Metrunio keeps them apart itself, so your tests do not distort the reports: every event from the assistant and the live test carries the environment “test” and is excluded from standard reports. In “Setup” you delete all test data with “Reset test data”; first it shows you what will disappear.
- No data after setup? Check these six points
No data arrives after installation. What do I check?
First: is the data processing agreement concluded? Without it Metrunio accepts nothing, and the portal shows “Measurement paused: DPA missing.”. If it is concluded, the GTM container is usually not published, consent is missing or the domain is not in the allowed list; these six steps cover the most common causes.

How do I find out what is missing in my setup?
The health centre runs a diagnosis across your setup and reports every finding with cause, effect, error code and the steps to fix it, rather than just an error message.

How do I send the steps of my funnel from the browser or the backend?
In the browser with
metrunio.identify(userId)once after sign-in and thenmetrunio.goal('key')per step; from the backend withPOST /v1/server/eventsand an event of typegoalcarryinggoal_keyanduser_id. Both routes are equivalent; a step without a customer identifier is rejected.
