About the Shopify Checkout Extensibility Pixel
Shopify introduced the Checkout Extensibility in 2022 to provide a faster, better performing, more secure, and upgrade-safe option than checkout.liquid for checkout customizations using Shopify apps. Listrak's custom pixel integration utilizes Checkout Extensibility to enable data collection and contact identification using secure, first-party data.
All Shopify clients should upgrade their integration to utilize the pixel before August 2024 as Shopify will discontinue support for the checkout.liquid integration method. Clients should follow the instructions found by following the guide found in step #2 of the Script Installation section of this guide.
The pixel collects the following Standard Web Pixel events:
checkout_started
checkout_address_info_submitted
checkout_contact_info_submitted
checkout_completed
After data is collected it is then sent to Listrak and processed within the Listrak system. When the checkout_completed event is sent to Listrak an order is created. If a customer opts into marketing messages during the checkout flow the Checkout subscription point will subscribe a contact to marketing messages. If a client is integrated with SMS, the same process will occur using the CheckoutSMS subscription point when a customer opts in to SMS mobile messaging. Learn more about setting up email or SMS subscription points.
The pixel also collects Listrak's standard tracking identifiers and processes email addresses or phone numbers to power Listrak automation, such as cart abandonment.
The image below displays the available settings for the pixel, which allows you to specify the permissions level for your data. The settings shown below are the suggested settings.
If the Permission setting is set to Required
Marketing should be checked
Analytics should be checked
The Data sale settings should be set that Data collected does not qualify as data sale
