You can also find these instructions in app, once you have installed the pixel.
If your Shopify store is built using a Headless Frontend, you’ll need to follow a few additional steps to properly enable tracking. This ensures our Pixel can still capture key events even though it can’t auto-install on headless environments.
How to Identify Cart Key
1. Add any product to Cart. Cart Key will only exist when a cart is created.
2. Press F12 or Right Click on your page to inspect element
3. Click on Application Tab. Search for local storage on the left panel, then locate your website domain and search for the cart keyword.
4. If it does not exist, try cookies instead.
What happens next: ProfitPeak will begin syncing your historical store data, including orders, products, and customer information. The app will also add our Trial Pixel, a snippet of server side tracking that will give you true visibility on what every customer is doing on your site.
Whilst this is running, lets get your apps connected!
Connecting integrations and setting up tracking
Connecting integrations and setting up tracking
To get the most accurate data from ProfitPeak, you'll need to connect your marketing platforms and add UTM tracking parameters. This section walks you through connecting each integration and setting up proper tracking so ProfitPeak knows exactly which ads are driving sales.
Why we need UTMs
Tracking parameters (also called UTM parameters) are small pieces of code added to your marketing URLs that tell ProfitPeak exactly which ad or campaign a visitor clicked before reaching your store. Without them, you won't know which specific ads are driving profitable sales. ProfitPeak uses custom tracking parameters (starting with tp_) to capture granular data about your marketing performance.
To get started, head to Integrations in ProfitPeak, select the platform and follow the prompts to connect.
Please make sure to select all permissions requested for each integration.
Once thats done, lets add UTM parameters. Click on each platform below to find the parameters to add. Alternatively, head to the Trail Pixel page and access directly there.
Integrations | Purpose | UTM's required |
Ad platform | ✅ | |
Ad platform (Facebook & Instagram) | ✅ | |
Ad platform | ✅ | |
Ad platform | ✅ | |

Why this matters
Without proper tracking parameters, you won't know which specific ads are driving profitable sales. ProfitPeak uses custom tracking parameters (starting with tp_) to capture granular data about your marketing performance.
With the Trail Pixel and UTMs in place, we can now see where someone came from and then what they clicked on on your website.
