FAQ

What about the conversion value set at the form level?

It's allowed to set an arbitrary Conversion value during the setup of your form, but that is just an indication and not an accurate representation of your (missed) conversion values. Tracking the actual conversion value with passing parameters to your tags makes the value representation in your dashboard reflect the true Missed conversion opportunity or Conversion value.

Data passed through the tags have priority over the actual configured conversion value on the form level.
