When you\u2019re running an ecommerce campaign on Shopify, success hinges on accurate measurement. You need to accurately track conversions so you can pay out affiliates based on your agreed upon terms.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re an affiliate network or an advertiser, follow these three best practices to integrate CAKE and Shopify tracking.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Use CAKE\u2019s Dynamic Click Pixel to Track Sessions<\/h2>\n

The first step for ensuring accurate measurement with your Shopify campaign is to deploy CAKE\u2019s Dynamic Click Pixel on your Shopify landing page. This gives you the most flexibility, allowing you to track consumers through either a tracking link or direct linking\u2014whichever option is best for working with your affiliate partners.<\/p>\n

Because media platforms like Google and Facebook often reject third-party tracking links, some affiliates will need to use direct linking<\/a>. In other cases, an affiliate may opt to use a tracking link (or the network may choose to give their affiliate a tracking link) in order to have more flexibility and control in setting up caps, redirecting traffic, etc. When you use CAKE\u2019s Dynamic Click Pixel, you can meet the needs of all of your affiliate partners, whether they\u2019re using tracking links or direct linking.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Implement the CAKE JavaScript SDK Conversion Pixel<\/h2>\n

Second, deploy the CAKE JS SDK Conversion Pixel on the Shopify order checkout page. The JS SDK enables you to track conversions once a consumer has completed the checkout process. (Note that it works whether you are using direct linking or tracking links.)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Implement Shopify\u2019s \u201cLiquid Tags”<\/h2>\n

Shopify\u2019s liquid tags (which are similar to CAKE tokens) help you maintain accurate tracking for revshare campaigns and provide you with more flexibility and accuracy in paying out commissions to affiliates. Shopify\u2019s liquid tags dynamically pass conversion details\u2014such as \u2018order total\u2019 or \u2018order subtotal\u2019 (whichever you agree upon with your advertiser) and the unique order ID of the transaction\u2014to CAKE.<\/p>\n
