Microsoft Bing Integration Methods with Analyzify

Analyzify offers two integration methods for Microsoft Bing setup:

  • Direct Integration
  • Customized Integration (with GTM)

To understand the differences between these methods and choose the one that best suits your needs, please  read our guide on choosing the right integration method .

Important Notes Before Setup: 

  1. Choose only one integration method. Do not activate both methods simultaneously.
  2. Enable the Analyzify app embed toggle on your live theme, otherwise completing the integration steps wouldn’t activate the Microsoft Bing. 
  3. Don’t forget to connect your custom pixel to track checkout steps. 

1. Direct Integration Method

Follow the steps for direct integration method:

Step 1: Configure Bing Settings

The UET (Universal Event Tracking) Tag ID enables you to monitor important website activities like page views, purchases, and product interactions. With UET tag implemented, you can track:

  • Destination URLs
  • Events
  • Product interactions
  • Conversions

To find your UET Tag ID:

Step 2: Select Item ID Format

First, locate your item IDs in Google Merchant Center:

  1. Go to Products > All Products in Merchant Center
  2. Review the product details to see your item IDs

After locating your item IDs in Merchant Center, you'll need to determine which IDs correspond to product IDs, variant IDs, or SKUs in your Shopify store. Here's how to identify them:

1) Go to Products in Shopify admin

2) Open any product with variants

3) Check the URL to find Product and Variant IDs

4) Look in the variant details to find the SKU

Step 3: Set Up Your Custom Pixel

Once you've identified which ID type matches your Merchant Center feed, select that format in Analyzify. Then:

  1. Click "Next" to proceed to the next screen
  2. Copy the provided code block
  3. Go to Shopify Customer Events
  4. Click "Add custom pixel"
  5. Name it as "Analyzify 4.0 Microsoft Bing"
  6. Under Customer Privacy:
    • Choose "Not required"
    • Check "Data collected does not qualify as data sale"
  7. Paste the code block you copied into the Code field
  8. Click "Save" then select "Connect"
  9. Important: If you already have an existing version of Analyzify's Microsoft Bing, disconnect it to prevent double counting

Note: If you already have an existing one, make sure to disconnect and delete the old version before adding the new one to avoid duplication.

2. Customized (GTM) Integration 

To proceed with the GTM integration, make sure you have a Google Tag Manager account and access to your Microsoft Bing account. Then follow these steps:

  1. Activate the customized (GTM) Integration within the Analyzify app.
  2. During the final setup stage, select Microsoft Bing when choosing your desired integrations for the GTM container creation.
  3. Download the generated container and import it to your Google Tag Manager account.  See our step-by-step guide here  .
  4. Configure your Microsoft Bing variables by  following our documentation . Enter your UET Tag ID and unpause your Bing tags.
  5. Test your Bing tags using GTM Preview mode to ensure everything is working correctly.  Learn more about how to use GTM preview mode  .

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why does Analyzify track only three specific conversions (Purchase, Add to Cart, Begin Checkout) for Bing?
These three conversions represent the critical stages of the customer journey in ecommerce. They provide essential data points to measure campaign performance and ROI in your Bing Ads account, allowing you to optimize your advertising strategy effectively.
Can I use both Direct Integration and GTM methods simultaneously for Bing tracking?
No, you should only activate one integration method. Using both methods simultaneously will create duplicate data in your reports, which means your conversion numbers will be counted twice. As mentioned in our important notes, choose either Direct Integration or GTM Integration based on your needs.
Why do I need to set up Bing goals if Analyzify already has the tracking codes installed?
While Analyzify handles the tracking code installation, setting up goals in Bing is essential for proper conversion attribution in your Bing Ads account. The goal setup process tells Bing how to interpret the tracking data Analyzify sends, ensuring your conversion data appears correctly in your Bing Ads dashboard.
Do I need to use the codes generated by Bing during the goal setup process?
No, you don't need to use the codes generated by Bing. If you're using Direct Integration, simply enable and connect the Analyzify v4 app embed and connect the custom pixel code generated by Analyzify in customer events. If you're using Customized GTM Integration, just add the GTM script generated by Analyzify app near the tag in your theme layout files, in addition to other setup steps (activating the app embed and connecting the custom pixel).
Is there anything I need to verify before setting up Bing conversion goals with Analyzify?
Yes, there are two crucial things to check: Ensure the Analyzify app embed toggle is enabled on your live theme Verify that your custom pixel is connected to track checkout steps Without these, the conversion tracking won't activate properly, even if you complete all other setup steps.
