Checkout Extensibility Upgrade AMA: Custom Web Pixels with Domaine

Community Events
24

Thanks for the dialogue here and AMA - really helpful…

A few questions below:

  1. Are there / can there be any plans to integrate the code into a GIT based VCS? I really don’t like working on production code within a text area on a web page…

  2. What is the roadmap for consent mode 2.0 for Google products with Shopify native consent banners and tracking? Larger clients that breach the 1000 users/day for AI web beacon cookieless GA4 gap filling would benefit from this.

  3. If we proxy all GA4 and Adwords tracking via Custom Pixels - assumption is we need to obtain both the true referrer and location and pass them on to the relevant tags. Are there any code examples of doing this via GTM - I’m thinking about the conversion linker in particular.

  4. I think you may have touched on this on a previous comment - but can you confirm how Custom Pixel tracking works with shop.pay based transactions?

  5. If we needed to add further events via GTM (e.g. tracking click events) - is it best to implement a custom event and proxy that into the Custom Pixel - rather than implementing a GTM instance in the parent DOM? I guess we’d need to ensure the custom pixel is loaded to allow that - do you have examples of how hat can be done?

  6. Does the Custom Pixel iframe code have access to the parent documents cookies - read/write?

  7. Can a parallel run be safely carried out using a Custom Pixel and legacy setup - wondered if the cookies could conflict (hence question #6)

  8. Again - in relation to #6 - how do we pull in consent signals from a parent DOM widget into the Custom Pixel code?

  9. This all still feels really raw - what percentage take up do you see across plus sites for migrating away from checkout.liquid 100%

  10. If the payment elements are sandboxed in their own iFrames - this feels a little overkill to be constrained to another sandboxed iFrame - when many checkout components need access to the DOM for overlays - UX features / Debug overlays etc.

  11. Does the Shopify native Google Sales channel implement its tracking using sandboxed iFrames - wondering if the choice of custom pixels vs native implementation carries a different technical approach.

Thanks so much for stepping up here - great to have an open line of dialogue with a technical expert!
