💳 Enabling Third-Party Checkout Tracking in Shortly

The Checkout Settings tab in Shortly allows merchants using custom checkouts to track affiliate attribution beyond the standard Shopify checkout flow.

🧠 Why Enable Third-Party Checkout Tracking?

This feature is helpful if you're using:
- A custom checkout experience
- Headless commerce setup
- Third-party checkout tools

It ensures affiliate sales are still tracked accurately using JavaScript-based pixel tracking.

✅ How to Enable

Step-by-step:

Go to your Shopify Admin.

Navigate to Settings > Customer events.



Click Add Custom Pixel.



Enter name of the pixel and click on Add Pixel.



Paste the Shortly checkout tracking script into the pixel code box.
Click Connect to enable.

📜 Checkout Tracking Script

Here’s the script you need to paste:
analytics.subscribe("checkout_started", async (event) => {
var script = document.createElement("script");
script.src = "https://shortly.link/assets/js/shortly.js";
document.querySelector("body").appendChild(script);
});
