In this presentation, the speaker explains that a single customer can generate multiple purchase events within an ecommerce funnel when they buy the front‑end product, order bumps, and upsells. For example, buying a front‑end offer plus two order bumps and two upsells results in five purchase events for one buyer. Facebook’s ad reporting, especially when using the Rapid Scale Framework or Advantage Shopping campaigns, aggregates all of these events and shows a higher number of purchasers than the actual unique buyers. Because Facebook reports total purchase amounts rather than unique purchases, marketers can be misled about campaign performance. The speaker advises using external tracking tools—such as spreadsheets or Google Data Studio dashboards—to capture and monitor unique purchase counts, ensuring more accurate optimization and reporting.

What's going to happen is that if somebody purchases 4 products in your funnel, right, which would be a full funnel sale, or 6 products, right? They buy the, they buy the, uh, the, the front end. If you have 2 order bumps, they get 2 order bumps. You get 2 upsells, so they get the 2 upsells, right? You get 5 sales, 5 purchase events for 1 buyer. Guess what's going to happen? They are all going to go back to Facebook. Right? They're all going to go back to Facebook, and which is not necessarily wrong, but if you got upsells, if you got order bumps, all of that, Facebook is going to show you when you're optimizing, when you're using something like the Rapid Scale Framework, or you're using Advantage Shopping campaigns, Facebook is actually going to show you a lot more purchasers than what you are getting. That's why it's important to either have a spreadsheet or build your Google Data Studio, all of those things, right? With the tools that I just gave you. But here's the thing, Facebook is going to show you a lot more purchases, a lot more purchases than the ones that you're actually getting, or rather it's going to show you the total purchase amount, it's not going to show you unique purchases.
