Shopify setup guide

Shopify app access and setup from install to your first report.

ShopLens Store Analytics is available in the Shopify App Store. Install it for your store, open the embedded app, and confirm the Web Pixel connection before checking measured storefront activity.

EMBEDDED IN SHOPIFY

The Shopify integration and merchant dashboard.

ShopLens includes an embedded dashboard, Shopify authorization, Web Pixel connection controls, traffic and shopping-activity reports, plan checks, and required data request and deletion handling.

PUBLIC APP STORE LISTING

Install from the published listing.

Find ShopLens Store Analytics in the Shopify App Store. Shopify shows the requested permissions and lets you select the store before you approve installation.

CHECK YOUR STORE CONNECTION

Confirm the pixel and a known visit.

After installation, check the embedded app's Web Pixel status and visit your storefront. Confirm the resulting pageview appears before relying on the reports.

How Shopify installation works

Install from Shopify, with no theme code to paste.

The flow begins on Shopify, asks for your permission, and keeps connection status inside the authenticated app experience.

  1. STEP 01

    Start from Shopify

    Open the ShopLens Store Analytics listing in the Shopify App Store, review the requested permissions, and approve the installation for the correct store.

  2. STEP 02

    Open the embedded app

    After you approve the requested permissions, ShopLens creates the store workspace during authenticated installation. A separate ShopLens signup or copied theme script is not part of the managed flow.

  3. STEP 03

    Confirm the Web Pixel

    ShopLens attempts to create and verify the supported Shopify Customer Events Web Pixel connection. Use the in-app status—and its retry control if needed—before evaluating reports.

  4. STEP 04

    Run a controlled check

    Visit the live storefront and perform known page, cart, checkout, and test-order actions where appropriate, then compare the observed activity with those exact checks.

What the app handles

The Shopify path stays separate from ordinary website setup.

Shopify authorization, store creation, supported Customer Events, and Shopify billing belong to the managed installation.

01

Authorize

Shopify authenticates the store and shows the permissions requested by the app.

02

Connect

The embedded app creates the linked ShopLens workspace and connects supported events through the Shopify Web Pixel path.

03

Manage

The merchant opens reports and manages an eligible paid plan through Shopify rather than a separate Stripe checkout.

Review the current permissions and plan terms on Shopify. The direct ShopLens signup and Stripe checkout are separate from this store installation.

Verification checklist

Do not call setup complete until data appears.

□The app was installed from the approved Shopify surface for the intended store.

□The embedded app identifies the same public storefront domain.

□The in-app connection status confirms the Shopify Web Pixel is active.

□A controlled storefront page visit appears in the ShopLens activity view.

□Cart, checkout, and purchase tests are performed only with known test actions.

□The report is interpreted as observed activity, not Shopify’s order or payout record.

Setup FAQ

Common Shopify installation questions.

Where do I install ShopLens for Shopify?

Install ShopLens Store Analytics from its Shopify App Store listing. Review the permissions for the intended store, approve installation, and open the app in Shopify Admin. You do not need a separate direct ShopLens account or a manual theme edit.

Will I have to edit theme code?

No. The managed Shopify installation connects through Shopify authorization and a Web Pixel, without asking merchants to paste ShopLens code into theme.liquid. Check the connection status inside the embedded app after installation.

How do I know tracking is working?

After the approved app is installed, open the embedded ShopLens app from Shopify Admin, follow its connection status, then perform controlled storefront visits and actions. Confirm the resulting traffic and independent session-activity counts in the app dashboard.
