Server-Side Pixel Infrastructure by Blotout

August 27, 2024

Introducing Blotout EdgeTag Infrastructure-as-a-Service

Blotout’s EdgeTag has already powered embedded Shopify partners and is now expanding as a common server-side platform for D2C brands and SaaS partners.

With this launch, any partner can deploy server-side pixels and client-side code—without needing to rebuild or manage custom infrastructure.

What’s the Big Deal About Server-Side Pixels?

Server-side pixels replace fragile client-side integrations with robust APIs.

Instead of relying on cookies and browser tracking, Blotout enables:

  • Secure data transmission
  • API-driven feeds to Meta, TikTok, Google Ads, GA4, Klaviyo, and 50+ other channels
  • Unified, consent-aware event handling

In short, SaaS companies and merchants can deploy enterprise-grade infrastructure with zero code.

Key Features of Blotout Infrastructure

  • Unified event system — Use Blotout’s standard events or your own tagless support. Events are normalized across platforms.
  • Zero-code deployment — Deploy pixels, APIs, and event transforms without managing code. Use Blotout’s pre-built apps or white-label tools.
  • Real-time streaming — Data delivered within seconds via 1,600+ Cloudflare edges, geo-IP policed and compliance-checked.
  • Consent mode built-in — Interpret and enforce consent in real time, mapped to long-lived server-side IDs.
  • CDP as a service — Out-of-the-box connectors for Meta C-API, TikTok, Google Ads, GA4, Klaviyo, and more.

Infrastructure Deployment Options

  • Self-hosted (preferred) — Deploy via Terraform to your own cloud stack, maintaining full control
  • Managed — Let Blotout handle infrastructure management

Supported via:

  • Shopify Web Pixels SDK
  • WooCommerce (WordPress plugin)
  • Salesforce Commerce Cloud
  • Magento, BigCommerce, and more

Why Work with Blotout?

Blotout infrastructure allows SaaS providers to focus on building differentiating features instead of spending years solving for cookies, consent, and compliance.

Advantages:

  • Scalable, proven with 500+ merchants
  • Supports every D2C platform, not just Shopify
  • Zero-code setup in under 30 minutes

Build vs. Buy: Why Licensing Wins

Buy (License/White Label)

  • Ready in 2 weeks
  • No upfront cost
  • Already battle-tested
  • Covers all platforms

Build

  • 6–24 months of engineering
  • Requires 4–6 engineers
  • Constant maintenance
  • High costs

Blotout believes SaaS firms should build differentiating features and license infrastructure commodities.

Who Should Reach Out?

SaaS companies needing:

  • Server-side pixel feeds (Meta, TikTok, GA4, Klaviyo, etc.)
  • ID management
  • Consent mode hooks
  • Client + server-side synchronized fires
  • Lightweight SDKs for Shopify, SFCC, WordPress

Why Blotout Is Opening Infrastructure to Everyone

Blotout recognizes that:

  • Server-side pixels are becoming universal
  • SaaS growth is slowed by Shopify lock-in
  • Merchants need common IDs across platforms
  • Redundancy in infrastructure drives costs across providers

By offering a shared infra layer, Blotout reduces cost, improves speed, and scales merchant adoption.

Blotout’s infrastructure is fully white-labelable.

Current deployments already support 400+ merchants across six white-label partners.

Use cases include:

  • First-party CDP integrations
