Step 2: Agency Integrates Shopify in AdBeacon

Step 1 — Create Your Store in AdBeacon

Log in to AdBeacon.
Click “Add Account.”
You’ll see a Welcome message – click Continue.
Fill in your store details:
- - Account Name (something descriptive)
  - Email Address (use your main business email)
  - Phone Number
  - Attribution Window
  - Reporting Currency
  - Time Zone
  - Date Format
  - Industry

Important: Check the box for Audit Account

Step 2 — Connect Your Shopify Store

In AdBeacon, click the Shopify button.
Enter your Shopify Store URL:
- Open your Shopify admin.
- Go to Settings → Domains.
- Find your Primary Domain. (the “My Shopify” domain)
- Copy the full URL (including https://). Example: https://www.yourstore.myshopify.com
Paste your store URL into AdBeacon.
Click Authenticate.
A pop-up will appear asking for permissions:
- It may say things like “View personal data” and “View and edit store data”.
Click Install.

✅ You should now see a “Congratulations” message confirming your store is connected.

Step 3 (Optional for audit accounts) — Add the AdBeacon Pixel in Shopify

In AdBeacon, go to Customer Events.
Click Add Custom Pixel.
Name it AdBeacon.
In the code box, delete what’s there and paste the AdBeacon script provided.
Click Save (top of the page).
Click Connect (top-right corner).

Step 4 — Verify Your Pixel

Shopify may take a few minutes to detect the new pixel.
You can click Verify in AdBeacon to check, but it may not confirm right away.
If you get a warning message, don’t worry – it’s normal.
You can skip verification for now by clicking the X in the top-right and return later after connecting ad channels.

✅ You’re Done!
Your Shopify store is now linked to AdBeacon, and the pixel is installed. Once Shopify confirms the pixel, you’ll be able to track customer events and optimize your campaigns.
