    is_logged_in: '1',
    internal_segment: 'general_user',
    store: 'french',

- One t-shirt worth $45
A coupon code, "WINTER5", applying a $5 discount to the cart

<script>
(function(d, w, s) {
  var f = w.fanplayr = w.fanplayr || { _i:[] };
  f._i.push({
    version: 3,
    accountKey: '7e43c8cddccade2b95ee5286ba89758a',
    data: {
      lineItemCount: 2,
      numItems: 3,
      gross: 65.00,
      total: 60.00,
      discount: 5.00,
      couponCode: 'WINTER5',
      pageType: 'prod',
      categoryId: '45',
      categoryName: 'Women\'s Shoes',
      productId: 'WRS001',
      productName: 'Red Shoes',
      productSku: 'WRS001',
      productPrice: 59.00,

      ]
    }
  });
  var js = d.createElement(s);
  var fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
  js.async = true;
  js.src = 'https://cdn.fanplayr.com/client/production/loader.js';
  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
})(document, window, 'script');
</script>

Dynamic Sites

When the above tracking code is implemented correctly, Fanplayr will track pages after they load as a user browses through the website. This is sufficient for most sites, but additional steps may be needed for sites that load content dynamically.

For example, sites that load product details in a popup overlay instead of redirecting the user to a new page, you will need to implement an additional step in order to correctly track product views.

Additional page views can be tracked dynamically after the initial page view has been tracked by Fanplayr by passing the tracking data to the fanplayr.reinitialize() method.

The tracking data follows the same format as detailed above. Keep in mind that all of the required properties must be present.

// This method is available after the fanplayr script has loaded.
fanplayr.reinitialize({
  type: 'st',
  accountKey: '7e43c8cddccade2b95ee5286ba89758a',
  data: {
    pageType: 'prod',
    productId: '56_b2',
    // Many required properties are omitted for brevity
    ...
  }
});
