Introduction

Our Convert custom app automates the installation process. It is, by far, the easiest way for Shopify stores to get started on Convert, and there is almost no learning curve.

Additionally, this app allows you to track revenue on all Shopify plans, not just Plus plans (which have custom checkout domains). 

Requirements

Do I need a particular plan or contract with the partner to use the integration?

You will need a Shopify store. The app is 100% free.

Do I need to have the partner’s technology installed already?

Yes, you will only need this app if you have a Shopify store.

Is there any other special configuration needed?

You will need to have your own Convert API Keys and a Revenue goal created inside your Convert account. Other than that, the app allows you to install Convert on your Shopify store very easily. It’s by far the fastest, easiest way to get Convert up and running on Shopify. If your plan, does not have the API feature, ask the support team for a set of API keys to install the app.

Do I need to be the Shopify Shop Owner to complete the installation?

No, but if you act as the CRO to the shop owner, the shop owner needs to grant the CRO the following permissions. These can be configured in the shop admin panel by navigating to Settings > User Permissions:

Full access to all "App Development" permissions.

Specific permissions for:

- read_orders

- write_orders

- read_content

- write_content

- read_themes

- write_themes

- read_script_tags

- write_script_tags

Create your own Convert API Keys

You need to be the account owner and create your own Convert API Keys. Go to Account Settings:

Select the API-Keys tab menu from the top and then hit on the New API-Key button to generate your own:

You will need this pair of keys to connect the custom Shopify app that you are going to create in the next sections with your Convert account.

Create a Revenue Goal

You now need to create a simple revenue goal and add it to an experiment you run on your Shopify Store.

Create a Shopify Custom App and Configured it.

Multi-currency support

You can select the "Multi-currency support" checkbox if you want to automatically convert to the currency of your choice to be used in Convert reports.

Advanced Page Tagging

You may use the advanced page tags to target your Shopify visitors and pages. The values are populated with Shopify objects, as we show below. Use them in Locations and Audiences to make your experience targeting even more specific:

<!-- begin Convert Experiences code-->
<script type="text/javascript">
 var _conv_page_type = "";
 var _conv_category_id = "";
 var _conv_category_name = "";
 var _conv_product_sku = "";
 var _conv_product_name = "";
 var _conv_product_price = "";
 var _conv_customer_id = "";
 var _conv_custom_v1 = "";
 var _conv_custom_v2 = "";
 var _conv_custom_v3 = "";
 var _conv_custom_v4 = "";
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//cdn-3.convertexperiments.com/js/<REPLACE THIS WITH PROJECT ID NUMBER>.js"></script>
<!-- end Convert Experiences code -->

Delete Convert App from Shopify

In order to delete the custom app you created, you need to go to/admin/apps and click the About this app option:

and then click the Delete app:

This message is a default Shopify message for all custom apps. You will still be able to re-install the app if you wish without our help.
