🔮 Triple Pixel: Everything You Need To Know

🔮 Triple Pixel: Everything You Need To Know

Last Updated:  
March 18, 2024

👋 Hello wonderful people. I wanted to give a quick tour of the Triple Pixel. By the end of this essay, I want you all to be able to answer the following questions:

  • Why do I need the Triple Pixel?
  • What does the Triple Pixel do?
  • How does Triple Pixel work?
  • What are the Triple Pixel costs?
  • Where is the Triple Pixel going?
  • How do I sign up for the Triple Pixel?


So without further ado, let's dive in.

🤷 Why Triple Pixel?

Let’s start with the problem.

The ability to track the performance of your paid media with confidence is at an all time low after Apple’s iOS changes (they’ve officially relegated 3rd party pixels to second class citizens). Unless a Facebook user has opted-in to sharing their data with Facebook, the Facebook Pixel can no longer track a user's path from ad-click/view -> conversion with the accuracy it once had.

But even before Apple’s iOS changes, how confident did you feel that you were spending efficiently? Or that Facebook and Google were giving you an accurate picture of how many new customers they were driving to your business?

Insert -> Triple Pixel

Installing the Triple Pixel on your site will bridge the gap that Apple’s privacy policy has created between your website and digital ad platforms. Using first-party data, we will now have the ability to more accurately attribute ad clicks (from places like Facebook, Google, Snapchat, Pinterest & TikTok), to real conversions.

For example: If a customer clicked on an ad two weeks ago, but purchases today through your Klaviyo campaign, we can attribute that revenue directly back to the campaign + ad-set + ad they originally clicked from. 

What Triple Pixel Will Do For You

  • Save Money, Make Money (scale winning campaigns & turn off the duds with more confidence)
  • A More Accurate ROAS & nCAC (our first-party pixel tracks what your ad platform cannot)
  • Visibility (compare Triple Whale attribution ➡️ platform attribution ➡️ UTM attribution in one easy-to-digest interface)
  • Shared Attribution (Ever wonder how many customers interact with your Facebook Ad AND your Google Ads? We’ll crack that case for you.)
  • Profit Per Ad, Ad Set, Campaign & Platform (Stop revenue chasing. Profits are the path. Easily identify the most profitable ads, ad sets and campaigns to keep the money printer going BRRRRR.)
  • Delayed Attribution (Easily visualize the time between ad spend and conversion value)

What Triple Pixel Won’t Do

  • Slow your site down
  • Break any laws (keeping you in compliance with privacy laws)
  • Fix 100% of your attribution issues (Triple Pixel isn’t promising 100% accuracy. But, Triple Pixel will improve your ad attribution accuracy, giving you more data to make confident decisions with)

🙋‍♀️ Triple Pixel Beta & Pricing

Ok you made it this far, so I am assuming you are still interested...possibly you just wanted to see the my next GIF 🤣. Either way, here are all the deets if you want in on the Triple Pixel Beta.

What is the cost?

Pricing is based on your store's annual revenue and starts as low as $300/mo. Check out our Pricing Chart here to see what your store qualifies for.

100% Money Back Guarantee

Note: The Triple Pixel Beta requires a 3 month commitment, but is backed by our 100% money back guarantee.

If you don’t feel like you’re receiving the value we’ve promised after 30 days, we’ll issue you a full refund - no sweat (Whale Oil is very different from Snake Oil 😉 )

How do I sign up?

If you already have a Triple Whale account, just drop us a line in the Live Chat and let our Success team know you'd like to upgrade.

If you're new to Triple Whale, just head over to this form here → Triple Pixel Signup. After your subscription is created, our team will reach out with installation instructions.

What is needed for installation?

There's nothing like a quick onboarding experience. It takes our team under a minute to get the Triple Pixel installed on the theme file of your Shopify store. Once that's done, we're tracking!

You will also need to be sure your UTMs are properly set up in your ads manager accounts. Without the proper UTM parameters on your ads we cannot track their performance or attribute their conversions. Once the Pixel is installed on your store, our team will provide further guidance on setting those up. You can see this article for documentation on setting up your UTMs.

Side Note: The Triple Pixel will not slow your site down or degrade site performance.

When do I start seeing data?

You will start seeing tracking data minutes after installation. However, because this is a first party pixel and none of your data is shared, nor is it retro active, there is a learning phase of 5-7 days.

On higher volume stores ($4M+ annually), we have seen the learning phase truncate to 2-3 days.

🐳 Closing

Well there you have it folks. The Triple Pixel in all her glory. This is our big bet on attribution. Our thesis? The pairing of Triple Pixel and Triple Whale Dashboard will become the Operating System for Ecommerce.

It's a whale of dream, but what is life without big dreams 🚀.

Our plan is to empower business owners and media buyers with the data they need to make better, faster, stronger decisions. Triple Whale Dashboard and Triple Pixel are the first steps.

In closing, I wanted to leave you with two things. One a website built by (soon to be one of the richest people in the world). Two, a quote from the richest person in the world.

This page on Patrick Collison's Website (of Stripe fame) chronicles world changing projects that happened in extraordinarily short periods of time. A few of my favorites:

Git. Linus Torvalds started working on Git on April 3 2005. It was self-hosting 4 days later. On April 20 2005, 17 days after work commenced, Linux 2.6.12-rc3 was publicly released with Git. Source: LKML.

Apollo 8. On August 9 1968, NASA decided that Apollo 8 should go to the moon. It launched on December 21 1968, 134 days later. Source: Apollo Spacecraft Chronology.

Triple Whale. On Nov. 22, 2021, the Triple Pixel was launched...TBD.
