Stape is cheap server-side hosting. But if Meta flagged your store, Stape writes it plainly: “Conversions API does not bypass the data sharing rules.” Your Purchase events stay blocked. First Party Solution is built for exactly that store, for $497 once.

Meta publishes how it treats each store’s pixel, and any browser can read it. We read that public setting for your domain and tell you if you’re in restricted mode. No login, no access to your accounts.
Check my store for freeStape says it doesn’t: “Conversions API does not bypass the data sharing rules.” It helps you avoid sending sensitive details.
Probably not. Better matching helps any store, but if your tracking isn’t restricted the gain is smaller.
No. $497 once for the kit, or $1,500 once if we set it up for you. Updates are included for life.
You send standard events through Meta’s official Conversions API, with no health information in them. Meta’s rules can change, and nobody can promise how Meta will treat an ad account. We don’t make that promise either.
