Best way to track sales coming from a unique link?

Data and Analytics
1

I am partnering with another company and would like to track sales that come from users who get to my website from a specific link. I am not super tech savvy so was wondering if there is an app that can help me with this?

Basically, if someone comes to my website from abc.com, I want to know if they made a purchase from that unique link tied to abc.com…

Thanks for any insight!

Hey @TheHatGirls

You can use a Shopify app like UTM Booster or Lifetimely to track exactly where your sales come from, including if they came through a link from abc.com. These apps are beginner-friendly and will show you which traffic sources are actually converting into sales. Just install one, set up the link with a UTM tag, and you’re good to go!

If I managed to help you then a Like would be truly appreciated.

Best,
Moeed

I think you need to add the UTM parameters after your website URL. UTM parameters help you identify which sources are coming from.
For example, your website is mystore.com. You want to track users from abc. You need to follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Add UTM params to your link: MyStore
    You can use this website for free to add UTM params. The params value is defined by your preference.
  • Step 2: Send that link to your partner. Ask them to post that link on their website.

Yes @TheHatGirls , absolutely — you can track sales from a specific partner link on Shopify.
Just use a simple affiliate or partner-tracking app (like UpPromote, Refersion, or GOAFFPRO). These apps let you:

  • Create a unique link for each partner

  • Automatically track visitors and orders coming from that link.

  • View sales, clicks, and commissions in an easy dashboard.

If you want a no-code option, UpPromote is the most beginner-friendly — you just set up a partner link, share it, and the app tracks all sales from that source automatically.

Hope this helps

Hey there! @TheHatGirls

Great question—tracking sales from a unique partner link is super useful for collaborations like this. Shopify has some basic built-in reports, but tracking visitors from a specific URL (like abc.com) can be a bit tricky with standard tools.

For a no-fuss solution, you might want to try an app like Mipler reports. It can make it much easier to see which orders came from a particular referrer link—just what you’re looking for!

Alternatively, Shopify’s regular reports let you see sales by traffic referrer, but the options are a bit limited unless you’re on Shopify’s higher plans. So if you want a simple and user-friendly experience, Mipler is a great choice!

Let me know if you need help getting set up!

@TheHatGirls, you can use the Total Sales Over Time report in Shopify and add fields like order referring site, order UTM source, order referrer path, referring channel, and platform. This helps you analyze data for completed orders. But if you want to track attempted purchases, you’ll need to use third-party apps like Report Pundit, where you can integrate Google Analytics to combine traffic and sales data and view both attempted and completed purchases in one report.
