Setting up a Shopify integration

This guide explains how to complete your integration with Shopify by inserting some JavaScript on your shop's website in order to enable Ometria to receive interaction data.

The steps below contain instructions for both Shopify and Shopify Plus. 

Matrixify

If you’re using Matrixify to migrate historical data from your previous ecommerce platform into Shopify, you’ll should make sure that the Created At date field in your Matrixify export is an exact match with the order date for your historical orders.

This is so that the data maps correctly in Ometria.

Ometria account setup link

You will have received an account setup link from Ometria detailing your integration steps. 

Step 2 in this link contains some JavaScript tracking code, which you should copy before beginning the steps below. 

See Update your liquid tags for an example.

Once you've copied the JavaScript code, log into your store's administration panel and select Themes. 

Choose a live theme and select Template Editor.

Setup steps

1. Locate the list of files (templates) in the left panel and select theme.liquid. 

The contents for this template display on the right:

2. Next, paste your copied code between the </body> and </html> tags at the bottom of the page:

If you have multiple stores in one account (e.g. UK, US, Germany) and requested the namespace for each store from Ometria, you need to paste a comma ( , ) after customer_email:{{customer.email|json}} followed by the namespace you were provided (e.g. namespace:"uk:").

Example:

<script>
if (typeof ometria == 'undefined') window.ometria = {};
ometria.raw_data={
template: ((ometria || {}).raw_data || {}).template,
order:{{checkout.order_id |json}},
cart_total:{{checkout.total_price|json}},
cart_count:{{checkout.line_items|size}},
cart: [],
shop_currency:{{shop.currency|json}},
customer_email:{{checkout.email|json}}
};
{% for item in checkout.line_items %}
ometria.raw_data.cart.push([{{ item.product.id|json}},{{item.variant.id|json}},
{{item.quantity|json}},{{item.line_price|json}}]);
{% endfor %}
(function(){
var url=window.location.protocol+"//cdn.ometria.com/tags/<your_site_identifier>.js";
setTimeout(function(){var sc=document.createElement('script');sc.src=url;sc.setAttribute('async','true');
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(sc);},15);
})();
</script>

3. Click Save. 

4. Click Settings from the bottom of the navigation panel on the left, then click on Checkout:

Scroll down until you see the Additional Scripts box and paste the following code into the box: 

<script>
if (typeof ometria =='undefined') window.ometria ={};
ometria.raw_data={template:'confirmation',order:{{checkout.order_id|json}}};
</script>

<script>
if (typeof ometria =='undefined') window.ometria ={};
ometria.raw_data={template:'confirmation',order:{{checkout.order_id|json}},namespace:"uk:"};
</script>
