Tracklution - Shopify App Installation Guide
Watch a video walkthrough:
Step 1: Create Tracklution Account
First, get started at Tracklution.com (opens in a new tab) by creating an account and providing your store URL. Tracklution will check if your site operates with Shopify, and if it does, it will suggest you install the Shopify App.
Step 2: Install Tracklution to Your eCommerce Store with Shopify App
- Sign in to your Shopify store and navigate to Settings → Customer Events → Add Custom Pixel.
- Create a new pixel and give it a name such as "Tracklution App".
- Configure the following settings for Customer Privacy:
- Permission: Not required (Tracklution reads consents automatically).
- Data Sale: Data collected does not qualify as a data sale.
- In your Tracklution onboarding guide, you will see a script window with a copy button. Copy the script and add it to the newly created Customer Event code field.
- Click Save (top right corner) and Connect (bottom right).
Tracklution will automatically configure the following eCommerce events: PageView, ViewContent, AddToCart, InitiateCheckout, AddPaymentInfo, and Purchase. Tracklution will also automatically set up underlying eCommerce variables (such as product IDs and variations) and Enhanced Conversions.
Step 3: Add Webhook
- Go to Shopify Settings → Notifications → Webhooks → Create Webhook.
- Configure the webhook settings as follows:
- Event: Order creation
- Format: JSON
- Webhook API version: Use the version labeled “latest”
- URL: Copy and paste the URL from Tracklution into the URL box.
Step 4 (Optional): Configure DNS
Open the DNS settings of your domain from your domain provider’s control panel. Add the following CNAME record to your DNS settings:
| Type | Host | Points To |
|---|---|---|
| CNAME | tralut.YOUR-DOMAIN-HERE.com | main.trlution.com |
Completion
Voilá! You’re done with the installation!
You will now start seeing session data populating in real time in your Tracking Container within the “Processed Data” table. This allows you to easily verify that your setup is successful and that all desired events are being correctly recorded.
By clicking the small arrow on the left of each row, you can dive deeper into the session and its events. From the View button, you can even see the actual data received and forwarded to the ad platforms.
Step 5: Connect Ad Platforms
Once the data is verified to be correct, the only remaining task is to connect the ad platforms!
Under the Connectors section, you will find all available ad platforms and their status in your Tracking Container.
Clicking on each connector will provide instructions on how to connect to that specific ad platform. It's very simple—just remember to toggle the platform live when you are ready and, of course, press Save!
