What's next?

Well done - you have completed the basic setup for conversion tracking in Shopify.

Next, make sure to look at the specific cases below.

  1. Review your privacy and cookie banner settings.
  2. If you are using an upsell app, additional steps are needed to track those events:
    1. If your upsell app uses a post-purchase page, see: Post purchase upsell page
    2. If your upsell app bypasses Shopify’s checkout process, see: Third-party apps that bypass Shopify checkout
  3. Finally, verify that events are being received in Realize, for all relevant funnels.

IMPORTANT

Failure to cater for the above cases may result in conversions going untracked.
