CAPI is Meta's server-to-server tracking API that sends conversion events directly from server to Meta, bypassing browser-based tracking that's increasingly blocked by iOS, ad blockers, and cookie restrictions. CAPI recovers 25–40% of attribution accuracy lost to client-side tracking gaps. For Logistics & Supply Chain specifically, this metric sits inside the unit-economics envelope of CPC 35–280 ₹ and CAC 4,000–40,000 ₹, constrained by long sales cycles and category education.
Conversions API is Meta's server-side event-tracking endpoint. Server sends conversion events directly to Meta, complementing or replacing browser Pixel.

How CAPI actually behaves in logistics & supply chain
CAPI is essential for Indian D2C in 2026. iOS 14+ + ad blockers block 25–40% of Meta Pixel events. CAPI sends events server-side, bypassing browser entirely. Setup: GTM Server in Cloud Run, Meta CAPI tag, hashed PII (email, phone, fbp, fbc, IP, user agent). EMQ (Event Match Quality) score 8.0+ is the target — Meta's algorithm degrades optimization without high EMQ. Pair with Pixel for deduplication.
