Version 1.13 is here, and it's packed with changes that'll make your conversion data more accurate, your consent handling more reliable, and your checkout tracking more complete.

The big theme? Getting better data to your ad platforms so they can optimize your campaigns. That means Enhanced Conversions improvements across dozens of integrations, a consent system rebuilt from the ground up, and full checkout funnel tracking for even more plugins.

Let's get into it.

Enhanced Matching Gets a Major Upgrade

If you're running ads on Meta, Google, TikTok, or Microsoft, you know that getting high-quality data back to those platforms is everything. The better the match between your conversion data and the platform's user data, the better your campaigns perform.

In 1.13, I've expanded Enhanced Matching in two big ways.

Phone and Address Fields Across 30+ Integrations

Phone number support has been added to over 24 form integrations - Gravity Forms, WPForms, Contact Form 7, Elementor Forms, Divi Forms, Bricks, Breakdance, and many more. If your form collects a phone number, Conversion Bridge can now pass it along to your ad platforms automatically.

For e-commerce and membership plugins - WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, LifterLMS, Paid Memberships Pro, GiveWP, Charitable, WP Simple Pay, FluentCart, and MemberMouse - both phone and address fields are now included in Enhanced Matching data.

Meta Gets Full Address Matching

Meta's Event Match Quality score now benefits from address fields (city, state, zip, and country). This is one of the biggest factors in improving your match rate, and it's handled automatically when the data is available from your checkout or form.

New Default Country Setting

There's also a new Default Country setting for phone number formatting. If a visitor enters a phone number without a country code, Conversion Bridge uses this fallback to format it correctly before sending it to your ad platforms. Small detail, big impact on match rates.

Consent System: Rebuilt from the Ground Up

This is probably the most important change under the hood in 1.13, even if most site visitors will never notice it.

The entire consent system has been overhauled to be fully JavaScript-based. Why does this matter? Because if you're using any kind of page caching (and you should be), the old PHP-based consent checks could get stale. A cached page might have the wrong consent state baked in.

Now, consent decisions happen entirely in the browser, after the page loads. It doesn't matter if the page is cached - consent is always checked fresh, in real time.

Per-Platform Consent Settings

Along with the JS overhaul, there's a new platform-specific consent system. Instead of just setting consent at the category level (analytics vs. marketing), you can now control consent on a per-platform basis which upcoming consent banner integrations require. This gives more granular control over exactly which platforms load based on visitor consent.

New Integration: CheckoutWC

CheckoutWC is one of the most popular premium WooCommerce checkout plugins, and it does a lot more than just redesign the checkout page. It has a floating side cart, order bumps, and multi-step checkout flows.

The problem? All of those features create conversion events that standard WooCommerce tracking doesn't catch. When someone adds an order bump, views the side cart, or progresses through checkout steps - those are all trackable moments that were being missed.

Conversion Bridge 1.13 now tracks the full CheckoutWC funnel:

  • view_cart - Side cart opens
  • begin_checkout - Checkout starts
  • add_shipping_info - Shipping step completed
  • add_payment_info - Payment step completed
  • add_coupon - Coupon applied
  • add_to_cart - Order bump added
  • remove_from_cart - Item removed

If you're running CheckoutWC with ad campaigns, this fills in a lot of gaps in your funnel data.

Tutor LMS: Full E-Commerce Tracking

Tutor LMS users with native checkout (not WooCommerce) were missing out on e-commerce tracking. That's fixed now.

Conversion Bridge 1.13 adds full funnel tracking for Tutor LMS's native checkout:

  • add_to_cart - Course added to cart
  • view_cart - Cart viewed
  • begin_checkout - Checkout started
  • purchase - Course purchased

It also sends enhanced e-commerce data (course name, price, category) to your analytics and ad platforms. If you sell courses through Tutor LMS, your conversion data just got a lot more useful.

Gravity Forms Power Features

Gravity Forms got a handful of features that power users have been asking for.

Dynamic Conversion Values with Merge Tags

You can now use Gravity Forms merge tags (like {Total:12}) as your conversion value. This means the conversion value sent to your ad platforms can come directly from a calculated field in your form. If you have a form that calculates a quote, order total, or donation amount, that value flows straight through to your tracking - no custom code needed.

Better Currency Handling

The value parsing has been improved to handle any currency symbol. Whether your form displays values in dollars, euros, pounds, or any other currency, Conversion Bridge correctly extracts the numeric value.

UTM Data in Form Entries

Gravity Forms entries now include UTM metadata. When someone submits a form, the UTM parameters from their session (and even from their initial pageview) are saved right alongside the form entry. You can see which campaign brought each lead without leaving Gravity Forms.

Dashboard Improvements

30-Day Conversion Chart

The dashboard widget now includes a 30-day bar chart showing daily conversion counts. Hover over any bar to see the exact count for that day. It's a quick way to spot trends and see if something changed without digging into full reports.

Top Landing Pages Links Through

The "Top Converting Landing Pages" section in the dashboard widget now links directly to the full Top Landing Pages report. A small improvement that saves you clicks.

UTM Reports: View Journeys

In UTM Reports, there's a new "View Journeys" link that takes you straight to Conversion Journeys filtered by that UTM data. It's a fast way to go from "this campaign got 50 conversions" to "here's exactly what those visitors did."

New Consent Integration: Usercentrics / Termageddon

If you use Usercentrics or Termageddon for cookie consent, Conversion Bridge now integrates with both. (Termageddon uses Usercentrics under the hood, so one integration covers both.)

This is a JavaScript-based consent management platform, and it works with the new consent system to properly gate your analytics and marketing scripts based on visitor consent.

More Enhancements

Here are the other notable improvements in 1.13:

  • Google Ads - Support for comma-separated conversion labels, so you can track multiple conversions per event with a single setup
  • MemberPress - File download tracking (requires the Downloads addon)
  • Divi - Support for Addons for Divi modules (InfoCard, InfoBox, FlipBox, Review, Dual Button)
  • SureForms - Enhanced conversion field support for text input blocks
  • EDD - Journey quick action link and UTM column added to the admin orders table
  • WooCommerce - Journey and UTM columns added to the admin orders table (works with both legacy and HPOS storage)
  • Custom Events - File Download event type now supports CSS selector targeting
  • Custom Events - Custom parameter values support clicked element attributes via attr:* syntax (for example, attr:data-product-name pulls the value from that attribute on the clicked element)
  • Ad platforms - Phone numbers are now passed in the proper format for platforms that support enhanced data
  • UTM collection - UTM parameters are now collected at the JavaScript level, which fixes an issue where hosts like WP Engine strip UTM params from server-side requests
