  price: '89.99',
  category: 'electronics'
});

Checkout Funnel Steps

// Step 1: View cart
sealmetrics.micro('view_cart', {
  items_count: '3',
  cart_value: '249.99'
});

  shipping_method: 'express'
});

// Step 4: Add payment info
sealmetrics.micro('add_payment_info', {
  payment_method: 'credit_card'
});

// Step 5: Purchase (use conversion, not microconversion)
sealmetrics.conv('purchase', 249.99, { currency: 'EUR' });

Video Engagement

var video = document.querySelector('video');

video.addEventListener('play', function() {
  sealmetrics.micro('video_play', {

});

Scroll Depth

var tracked = {};

window.addEventListener('scroll', function() {
  var scrollHeight = document.documentElement.scrollHeight - window.innerHeight;
  var scrollPercent = Math.round((window.scrollY / scrollHeight) * 100);

  [25, 50, 75, 100].forEach(function(milestone) {
    if (scrollPercent >= milestone && !tracked[milestone]) {
      tracked[milestone] = true;
      sealmetrics.micro('scroll_' + milestone);
    }
  });
});

Properties Reference

Common properties to include:

Property	Description	Example
product_id	Product SKU or ID	'SKU-456'
product_name	Product name	'Wireless Headphones'
price	Item price	'89.99'
category	Product category	'electronics'

Property Values Must Be Strings

All property values are transmitted as strings. Numbers and booleans are automatically converted.

Timing

Microconversions Are Their Own Event Type

A microconversion is not counted as a pageview. The server classifies each hit by its payload: a hit that carries an event type with the micro flag is recorded as a microconversion, while only hits without those fields are counted as pageviews.

The initial pageview is tracked automatically when the tracker loads (unless you use ?auto=0), so firing a microconversion does not also create a pageview — and you do not need to call sealmetrics() to "register" engagement. Each microconversion is recorded independently.

Multiple Events Per Page

You can fire multiple microconversion events on the same page. Each one is recorded separately:

// All of these are tracked independently:
sealmetrics.micro('scroll_25');
sealmetrics.micro('scroll_50');
sealmetrics.micro('video_play');
sealmetrics.micro('add_to_cart');

Naming Conventions

Use consistent, descriptive event names:

Pattern	Examples
{action}_{object}	add_to_cart, view_product, click_cta
{object}_{action}	video_play, video_complete, form_submit
{category}_{action}	scroll_25, scroll_50, scroll_100

Avoid:

• Spaces in event names
• Special characters (use underscores)
• Overly generic names like click or event
