Add the Shopify store
Open Shopify under Stores and select Add a new store. You can leave the domain blank initially to create a numbered pre-store.
Shopify quickstart
Create a Shopify pre-store, choose the checkout type, configure the advertising platforms you use, then install and verify the CapiTracker custom pixel.
- Sign in to the Shopify store you want to connect.
- Have the storefront or
myshopify.comdomain ready if available. - Keep any advertising pixel credentials private.
Choose checkout and timezone
Select Native Shopify checkout, or External checkout for a supported third-party checkout, then choose the store timezone.
Add advertising credentials
Enable only the ad platforms you use, add the required pixel or account credentials, and create the store.
Install the custom pixel
In Shopify admin, open Settings → Customer events, add a custom pixel named CapiTracker, paste custom-pixel.js, and set CAPITRACKER.businessId to the business ID shown in CapiTracker.
Match the real store domain
Replace the pre-store domain in Store settings with the real storefront or myshopify.com domain before testing events.
Verify the connection
Open the storefront, trigger a PageView, then return to CapiTracker and select Test connection. The store becomes Active after CapiTracker receives an event.
Private API key: CapiTracker shows store API keys once and stores only their hash. Never paste a private API key or ad-platform secret into browser-visible Shopify custom pixel code.
