Attribute orders

Topic summary

A developer is building a Shopify app that displays personalized product recommendations and needs to track whether clicks lead to purchases.

Current Approach:

  • Adding UTM parameters to product links when shoppers click recommendations
  • Redirecting through their server before sending users to the shop

Problem Encountered:

  • UTM parameters aren’t appearing in the development store
  • Shopify seems to not respect the UTM parameters at all

Flow: Shop (home) → Developer’s server (302 redirect) → Shop (product page with UTM parameters like ?utm_source=…&utm_campaign=…)

Questions Raised:

  • Has anyone experienced this same issue?
  • What alternative options exist for attributing future orders in this scenario?

Suggested Solution:
Another user pointed to Shopify’s web pixels documentation as a potential resource for tracking and attribution.

Status: Open discussion seeking solutions for order attribution tracking.
