Shopify Analytics with a storefront API frontend

[Filiph]

Hey,

We're currently running a Shopify Plus store with a custom frontend using the Storefront API. We haven't been able to find a way to integrate Shopify Analytics into it to get the live view etc working.

This is a requirement since we'd like to get all the tracking working.

Thanks.

Going to bump this since there still doesn't appear to be any solutions for this.

This has now been resolved first by me reverse engineering the analytics API (pre-hydrogen) with the package https://github.com/sweet-side-of-sweden/react-shopify-analytics for https://www.sweetsideofsweden.com and then finally by Shopify themselves with hydrogen-react, see https://shopify.dev/docs/api/hydrogen-react/2023-04/unstable/utilities/sendshopifyanalytics

I’d recommend going with hydrogen-react unless you really want to avoid the additional utilities and components that hydrogen-react comes with 🤠
