Monetate supports Google Analytics natively, and it can push your account's data to any platform that you use. For more information on third-party analytics, refer to the documentation in the Third-Party Analytics category.

Tag

The Tag tab contains the code snippet for the Monetate tag that you must paste into the header for each page of your site on which you want to run Monetate.

The tool tip next to the toggle provides an overview of each type of Monetate tag. See Tag Comparison in Baseline Implementation in the Monetate Developer Hub for a side-by-side look at the two tag types.

Inspector

On the Inspector tab you can download the Monetate Inspector browser plug-in.

You must have third-party cookies and cross-site content tracking enabled in your browser for Monetate Inspector to work. Furthermore, Ghostery and similar privacy extensions can block it. If you're unable to launch the tool, check your browser's privacy and security settings as well as the extensions you might have installed.

The API features settings on this tab allow you to enable cart, product, and page type actions conditions, respectively.

SSO

With single sign-on (SSO), you can bring your own in-house identity provider (IDP) to authenticate users in the Monetate platform. On the SSO tab, you can find the information that you must input into your IDP system as well as the means to input your IDP's ID, URL, and 509 certificate.

Refer to Configure Single Sign-On for more information.

First-Party Proxy

On the First-Party Proxy tab, you can register a mapping within your content delivery network (CDN) between a dedicated path on your site and the Monetate service. By doing so you can overcome ad-blocking extensions that block network requests that Monetate uses to deliver personalized experiences on your site.
