What happens
On a Shopify store, installing the NextRise Analytics Shopify app takes care of the following.
- Tracking — the web pixel bundled with the app records page views, add-to-carts, checkout starts, and purchases. It never touches your theme code.
- Importing orders — orders and refunds are read from Shopify and used for revenue, AOV, and per-product analysis.
On the store side, all you do is install the app and grant permissions.
How to install
Open NextRise Analytics on the Shopify App Store and press Install. As soon as you grant permissions, both tracking and order import begin. You do not need to paste a tracking tag by hand.
You can get to the same place from inside the app: under “Manage sites → Settings”, choose Shopify as the platform and an “Add from the Shopify App Store” link appears.
Billing
If you install through the Shopify App Store, billing is consolidated into your Shopify bill (not Paddle). There are four plans — S / M / L / XL — with the same contents as Plans and session allowances. Change or cancel your plan from Apps → NextRise Analytics in your Shopify admin; it can take up to a day to take effect.
Things to know
- Time on page isn’t available. Because of how Shopify’s order-complete page and pixels work, time on page can’t be captured. Engagement rate comes out somewhat lower as a result (this is also shown in the ”?” on screen).
- Transactions and funnel purchases won’t match. Transactions is the number of orders; funnel purchases is the number of “sessions with a purchase”. Shopify’s own reports show the same difference (When numbers don’t match).
- If purchases aren’t linked to visits, you’ll see a notice saying “Reopen NextRise Analytics from [Apps] in your Shopify admin”. Re-registering the pixel fixes it.
