Integrating Shopify with VWO allows you to create and run VWO tests on your Shopify store. The end-to-end process of integrating Shopify with VWO involves the following steps:

• Adding VWO SmartCode to your website pages
• Implementing Revenue Tracking

Things to Consider While Adding VWO SmartCode to Shopify Website

• When you add the VWO SmartCode to your Shopify Website, it is added to all the pages of your website except for "Check Out" and "Thank you" pages, however, if you are on Shopify PLUS and wish to enable the tracking on the "Check Out" page, perform this, and for "Thank you" page, perform this.
  
  
• If you wish to track subscription-based revenue collected in Shopify, refer to Tracking Subscription-based Revenue.

Adding VWO SmartCode to Your Website Pages

To add VWO SmartCode to your website, perform this:

Procedure

1. Sign in to your Shopify web store as an administrator.
2. From the navigation bar, go to Sales channels > Online Store.
3. Select the Themes tab, and from the Actions dropdown, select Edit Code.
4. Go to the theme.liquid file on the customization panel and then add the VWO SmartCode. VWO SmartCode will be added to all the pages (site-wide) in the selected theme. If your checkout process is on Shopify's domain, make sure to enable multiple domain tracking in VWO. To learn about running a test across multiple domains, refer to How to Enable Tests to Run Across Multiple Domains in VWO?
   
   NOTE:
   
   1. If you are on Shopify Plus and wish to track the changes on the checkout pages then you must add your VWO SmartCode in the checkout.liquid file.
   
   2. If you are trying to set up the ITP resolution implementation, you must add the configuration code snippet for ITP before the VWO SmartCode. To learn about different code snippets, refer to Resolving ITP Issues.
5. Click Save.

Implementing Revenue Tracking

To implement the revenue tracking, perform this: 

Procedure

1. Sign in to your Shopify web store as an administrator.
2. From the navigation bar, click Settings.
3. On the Settings page, click Checkout.
4. Place the VWO SmartCode in the Additional Scripts field.
   
5. Once you have added the VWO SmartCode, add the following JS code snippet right after the VWO SmartCode in the same field (Additional Scripts).

   <script type="text/javascript"> 
   window.VWO = window.VWO || []; 
   {% assign _vis_opt_revenue = total_price | money_without_currency %} 
   window._vis_opt_queue = window._vis_opt_queue || []; 
   window._vis_opt_queue.push(function() {_vis_opt_revenue_conversion('{{ _vis_opt_revenue }}'.replace(',', ''));}); 
   window.VWO.push(['track.revenueConversion','{{ _vis_opt_revenue }}'.replace(',', '')]); 
   </script>

6. To implement the changes, click Save.
