Pre-Installation: Planning and Preparation

Some must-do steps before you start setting up Analyzify on your Shopify store and begin your data analytics journey.

Check these steps before you start setting up Analyzify on your Shopify store to experience a smooth setup process.

Understand Analyzify

Understand what you can and can't do with Analyzify. Check out the playbooks for GTM & Shopify, Google Analytics & Shopify, FB Pixel & Shopify, and Google Ads & Shopify to understand how Analyzify can benefit your store. You can also check our Support Scope & Policy to learn more.

Clarify your Pixel Needs

Clarify your needs and decide which pixels you wish to use in GTM.

Remove GA4 and GTM tracking codes

Remove GA4 and GTM tracking codes from your theme files to ensure that there are no conflicts with Analyzify's tags.

Back Up your Theme Files

Always back up your theme files before making changes to your store.

Check the “checkout.liquid” (only for Shopify Plus users who haven't upgraded to checkout extensibility yet)

If you run your store on a Shopify Plus plan and haven't upgraded to the checkout extensibility, we recommend that you check the “checkout.liquid” file, which should exist in your theme, before installation.

You can find this file by searching for “checkout.liquid” in your theme files.

Create New Google Ads Conversion/Action (Optional)

We recommend that you add a new conversion for Google Ads, instead of the existing purchase conversion, and continue with the setup using that new conversion label.

If there are two purchase conversions, you should set one as the primary and the other as secondary because having two primary conversions causes duplicates of conversions.

You can check out the Create a New Conversion article to set up a new conversion.

Use Native Integrations for Other Pixels

As you can see in the setup steps, we recommend that the Facebook Pixel and other integrations remain native.

If you are not satisfied with native integrations, you can use our tags. Here, keep in mind that you need to uninstall the native apps and delete the related fields. Otherwise, you may encounter duplicated counts.

Proceed to Set Up

Take a deep breath and confidently proceed to the next step to set up Analyzify for your Shopify store.
