CAPI Control is the premier Converlay alternative for Shopify brands that want more than just basic pixel plumbing. While Converlay offers a no-code tool to forward data to multiple ad destinations, it acts purely as a passive pipe. CAPI Control matches Converlay's multi-platform reach while adding active signal intelligence: real-time POAS margin bidding, 50+ vector bot defense, and VIP customer shielding.
1. The Passive Plumbing Problem
Converlay entered the Shopify ecosystem as an accessible, no-code server-side tracking tool supporting multiple destinations. For merchants intimidated by GTM, it provided a simple setup.
However, simply sending data to 20 different destinations does not solve the modern media buying dilemma. If you send raw, unmanipulated revenue data to Meta, Google, and TikTok, their algorithms optimize for cheap scrollers, zero-margin clearance buyers, and automated scrapers.
- Passive Data Forwarding: No capability to calculate contribution margin or deduct COGS.
- No Bot Suppression: Scraping bots and crawlers freely trigger ad network conversion signals.
- No Customer Data Governance: VIP customer signals exposed to ad network lookalike harvesting.

| Pricing | Free tier + usage pricing | Free Basic Tier; flat $59/mo Pro |
