Click and conversion events

Send click and conversion events from your BigCommerce store to the Algolia Insights API.

By default, you’ll send click and view events when users view or select search results.

Event settings live on the Insights page of the app, in the Event tracking section. To turn off sending events, turn off Use click analytics and select Save.

By default, a new anonymous is generated on every page load. For more persistent user tokens, select Persistent token via cookies, based on shopper approval.

Before you can use cookies to store the user token, you must turn on “Cookie consent tracking” in your BigCommerce control panel. To find this option in your BigCommerce store, go to Settings > Security & Privacy > Your customers’ privacy. Without consent, a random token is used instead.
