Testing & Troubleshooting
1 / 1How to Test and Verify Tracking Events
Use a controlled test journey and the plugin’s activity and diagnostics tools before enabling production tracking.
Use Monitor Only or a staging site first
For an initial check, choose Monitor Only so you can inspect event capture without sending events to advertising platforms. Confirm your consent configuration and required administrator authorization before any production collection.
Test checklist
1. Open BIG-FLYTX and confirm the plugin is enabled, the intended tracking mode is selected and the required destination is configured.
2. Open the site in a clean browser session and complete one simple action, such as viewing a page.
3. If applicable, submit a test lead form or perform a WooCommerce product, cart, checkout and test-purchase flow.
4. Review BIG-FLYTX Activity, Reports, Diagnostics or Health Check for the captured event and any delivery errors.
5. If browser delivery is enabled, use the provider’s browser pixel/tag debugger. For GA4, use DebugView; for GTM, use Preview mode.
6. If server delivery is enabled, inspect the provider’s test-event view and the plugin delivery status.
7. Confirm the event is delivered once. When browser and server copies represent the same action, verify event-ID deduplication.
After testing
Switch from Monitor Only only when the selected destinations are ready. Save the final settings, repeat one controlled test and record the configuration for future troubleshooting. Do not use real customer purchases or personal data as test payloads when safe test data is available.
