In this guide, we will be focusing on tracking sale events from Shopify by leveraging CodeQR’s Shopify integration. First, you’ll need to enable conversion tracking for your CodeQR links to be able to start tracking conversions. There are a few ways to do this:
  1. On a workspace-level
  2. On a link-level
  3. Via the API

​
Step 2: Install the CodeQR Shopify app

After installation, you will be prompted to link one of your CodeQR workspaces to the app. Select Connect to establish a connection between your Shopify store and your CodeQR workspace.You’ll be redirected back to your Shopify store after this step and you’ll see a list of the links in your CodeQR workspace:

With the Shopify app, you can also create conversion-enabled links directly from your Shopify store:

After installing the CodeQR Shopify app, the CodeQR Analytics script is added as an app embed. However, it needs to be activated manually to ensure it is included in your current theme.To activate the CodeQR Analytics script, follow these steps:
  1. Navigate to your Shopify admin panel.
  2. Go to Online Store > Themes.
  3. Click on Customize for your current theme.
  4. In the theme editor, select the App embeds tab.
  5. Locate the Analytics Script for the CodeQR Shopify app and toggle it to activate.

CodeQR’s Shopify integration will automatically forward the following events to CodeQR:
  • orders/paid: This event is triggered when a customer completes a purchase on your Shopify store. It is utilized to track sales that originate from CodeQR links.
  • app/uninstalled: This event occurs when the app is uninstalled from a store. It is used to remove the integration from your CodeQR workspace.
In addition to the above, we also subscribe to the mandatory compliance webhook topics that are required by Shopify.

Step 3: View conversion results

Currency conversion support

For simplicity, CodeQR records all sales in the native currency of the Shopify store. For example, if you’re using USD for your Shopify store, CodeQR will record all sales in USD – even if your customers are paying in a different currency.
