Why Facebook says 50 orders when Shopify confirmed 10

Facebook is grading itself. Shopify is where the money landed.

Ad platforms count conversions inside their own attribution window, include view-through conversions no one clicked, and de-duplicate differently than your store. GA4 then loses part of the trail to consent and cross-device gaps. Your Shopify store is the only place money actually lands. So the platform number is almost always higher than the orders you were paid for.

Same campaign, same dates, three answers. jujugrowth keeps platform-claimed, GA4-measured, and Shopify-confirmed counts side by side daily so the gap is visible before it skews budget.

How jujugrowth handles the gap

jujugrowth connects read-only through official platform logins, imports history, and compares what Meta claimed with what GA4 measured and what Shopify confirmed. It does not collapse the numbers into one blended score. The mismatch is the signal.

How do I understand attribution gaps between what ad platforms claim and actual sales?

Compare the platform-claimed number, the analytics-measured number, and the store-confirmed number over the same date window. If Facebook says 50, GA4 says 18, and Shopify says 10, the store-confirmed number is the money. The gap tells you how much of the platform story needs investigation before you raise spend.
