Shopify Checkout Extensibility

❗️

Upgrading your Thank You page and Order Status pages WILL impact tracking in Northbeam

Our Purchase Event script is placed on the Order Status page to track conversions on Shopify’s native checkout. You'll need to add a new script to the Customer Events.

If you've upgraded your Thank You and Order Status pages, reference the directions below.

(Note: If you've only upgraded your Information, Shipping, and Payment pages -- no action is needed)

  2. Click Settings
  3. Click Checkout
  4. Find the section called Order Status Page and reference the Additional Scripts field
  5. If this field is greyed out, your Thank You and Order Status pages are upgraded.
