Install on Shopify

Add Datacenter to your Shopify store in about five minutes. Copy one line and paste it into your theme. No coding needed.

On this page

You copy one line from Datacenter and paste it into your Shopify theme. It takes about five minutes.

Before you start

Copy your tag. In Datacenter, open Set up your site, or open your site's Settings. Your tag looks like this, with your own address:

HTML
<script defer data-site="yourshop.com" src="https://datacenter.so/s.js"></script>

Steps

  1. In your Shopify admin, open Online Store. You land on your themes.
  2. Next to your current theme, click the ... button, then Edit code.
  3. In the layout folder, open theme.liquid.
  4. Find the line </head>. Paste the tag on the line just above it.
  5. Click Save.

Check it works

Go back to Datacenter. On the last setup step, click Check my site. Then open your store in a new tab. Your first visit shows up in a minute or two.

Good to know

  • Shopify checkout pages do not run theme code, so the tag does not see them. To count sales, connect your store with the Shopify connector, on paid plans. Each order then shows with the ad or link that brought it, and every buyer and new customer account is added to Profiles with their email. No extra code.
  • If you switch to a new theme later, paste the tag into the new theme too.
  • A store with a password page still works, but our check cannot see past the password. Open the store yourself and wait for the first visit.
