To successfully integrate, ensure you have the following:

You can choose either the plug-in setup or the custom pixel setup. Do not use both at the same time.

Go to Shopify admin > Apps > Visit Shopify App Store > search for Tapfiliate > Add app > Install.

Open the Tapfiliate app inside Shopify, log in, and paste your Tapfiliate Account ID.

Turn on Auto-track orders and save your settings.

2. Log in and connect your Shopify store following the Tapfiliate onboarding steps.

Step 1: In Shopify admin, navigate to:

Settings > Customer events > Add custom pixel.​

Step 2: Name your pixel and press “Add pixel.”

Step 3: Paste the Tapfiliate tracking code in the “code” section:

window.self = window.top;

const script = document.createElement('script');

script.setAttribute('src', 'https://script.tapfiliate.com/tapfiliate.js');

script.setAttribute('async', '');

document.head.appendChild(script);

(function(t,a,p){t.TapfiliateObject=a;t[a]=t[a]||function(){

(t[a].q=t[a].q||[]).push(arguments)}})(window,'tap');

tap('create', 'YOUR ACCOUNT ID', { integration: "shopify" });

tap('detect');

analytics.subscribe('checkout_completed', (event) => {

const checkout = event.data.checkout;

const order_currency = checkout.totalPrice.currencyCode;

const order_price = checkout.subtotalPrice.amount

const order_id = checkout.order.id;

const email = checkout.email;

const discount_codes = checkout.discountApplications.map((discount) => {

if (discount.type === 'DISCOUNT_CODE') {

return discount.title;

}

});

tap('conversion', order_id, order_price, {

coupons: discount_codes,

currency: order_currency,

customer_id: email,

});

});

Remember to replace 'YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID' with your unique Tapfiliate account ID and press ‘connect’. This code snippet is crucial for configuring Tapfiliate, enabling its smooth integration with Shopify.

You can reward different commission amounts for specific product categories or SKUs. The commission type feature allows you to offer varying commission rates for different products, which can be useful for boosting sales of specific items. For instance, to expedite the sale of a product during a flash sale, you could set a higher commission for that item.

To do so, first, create commission type identifiers in your Tapfiliate account. Then, in your Shopify tracking code, add the identifier field to the conversion event, for example:

tap('conversion', order_id, order_price, COMMISSION-TYPE-IDENTIFIER, {

coupons: discount_codes,

currency: order_currency,

customer_id: email,

});

Replace COMMISSION_TYPE_IDENTIFIER with your designated commission type for the product or category. This enables advanced commission logic per order.

To track coupon code usage, assign unique coupon codes to affiliates within Tapfiliate and ensure they are mirrored in Shopify. When these codes are used during checkout, their usage will be automatically tracked and attributed for conversion credit.

In Tapfiliate, each affiliate can be exclusively assigned their own unique coupons. You can directly go to affiliates> click on your affiliate and assign a coupon to them.

In Shopify, navigate to the “Discounts” section and create a new discount code. This discount code should match the code assigned to the affiliate.
