Welcome to our guide on enabling data sharing between Shopify and NewsBreak Ads! Follow these simple steps to successfully connect your data from Shopify to NewsBreak for accurate event attribution and performance tracking.
Note: If your storefront utilizes third-party site builders such as Funnelish, ClickFunnels, or other custom landing pages in addition to Shopify, you must also implement the NewsBreak Pixel on those external pages. Ensure that the click ID (nb_cid) captured on these pages is properly passed through to your Shopify checkout to maintain accurate attribution and end-to-end conversion tracking.
