Every app. Detected, escaped, reopened.

The IG tax

Your IG ads work.The in-app browser kills the sale.

Tap any link from inside Instagram — story, ad, profile, DM — and you don't get Safari. You get a stripped-down WebView with no Apple Pay, no Shop Pay autofill, no saved passwords, and partitioned cookies. Returning customers look like new visitors. Conversions crater. The customer doesn't blame Instagram. They blame you.

EscapeHatch silently bounces the visitor to their real browser before the page paints. They never see the in-app browser. Checkout works. The numbers speak for themselves.

Features

More than a one-line script.An entire test infrastructure.

The redirect itself is two lines of JavaScript. What you're paying for is the dashboard, the test infra, the fallbacks, and the maintenance pipeline.

Headline

Auto-update on patches.

Instagram changes things. We monitor them, ship a new snippet edge-cached for 5 minutes, and every customer auto-updates. You don't lift a finger when the cat-and-mouse continues.

Auto A/B testing

50/50 cookie split. Lift, confidence interval, MDE — computed for you.

Live escape analytics

Per-day rollups. Impressions, escapes, fallback shown, fallback clicked.

Branded fallback overlay

For TikTok / Snap / FB IABs that can't auto-escape — a polished "Open in Safari" prompt.

Pixel & attribution safe

Full URL with fbclid passes through. Meta dedupes by _fbp; sessions stay continuous.

First-party domain serving

Snippet served from your own subdomain via CNAME on Pro+. Zero perf penalty, no third-party flags from CSP-strict sites.

Run the teston your own traffic.

Every install starts with a 50/50 split. After 7-14 days you have a defensible number — your CVR lift, in your data, with your customers.

FAQ

Short answers.

Does this violate Instagram's terms?

EscapeHatch uses browser-routing behavior inside social in-app browsers. It is not a Meta-approved advertiser API, so high-volume customers should treat it as an experimental optimization and launch with an A/B test, monitoring, and a kill switch.

What about my Meta pixel and ad attribution?

Fully preserved. We encode the entire URL — including fbclid — into the redirect. Meta's pixel dedupes by the _fbp cookie which is first-party on your domain, so the session is treated as continuous, not double-counted.

Will it slow my site down?

The snippet is ~1.1 KB and runs synchronously before anything else. Lighthouse impact is unmeasurable. On Pro, we serve from your own CNAME so there's zero cross-origin penalty.

Does it work on TikTok, Snapchat, Facebook?

Instagram is the only IAB with a clean auto-escape (on iOS and Android). For TikTok / Snap / FB, EscapeHatch ships a polished one-tap "Open in Safari" overlay. Not as seamless, but recovers most of the lost conversions.

Does it work on Shopify Plus?

Yes. EscapeHatch is a script, not a Shopify app. The snippet drops into your storefront <head>, and we've validated against checkout extensibility, Shop Pay, and the Plus B2B portal. Multi-store rollups are a Scale plan feature so a single dashboard covers every storefront.

Does it work outside Shopify — headless, custom, WooCommerce, BigCommerce?

Yes. EscapeHatch is platform-agnostic — paste the <script> tag in your <head> and it runs. Shopify, Shopify Plus, Hydrogen, Next.js Commerce, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Medusa, custom-built — the detection and browser handoff logic is client-side JavaScript and doesn't depend on Liquid or a Shopify app install.

How fast will I see results?

First escapes fire within minutes of installing. After that it depends entirely on your IG traffic volume — high-spend brands see meaningful lift in 5–24 hours, smaller stores take a couple of days to reach a clean A/B read. The dashboard surfaces lift + p-value the moment you have enough sample.

Is the snippet GDPR / CCPA compliant?

We don't set cookies, we don't fingerprint, we don't ship analytics off your domain. The only data we collect is an IP-hashed event row per escape — no PII, no third-party trackers. Add us under "functional" in your consent banner if you have one.

traffic to a dead end.
