Go Beyond the basics
Custom Tracking for Shopify Plus
Shopify’s tracking updates mean your existing Google Analytics setup could stop capturing key conversion data. Don’t wait until it’s too late. At Napkyn, we help e-commerce leaders migrate their analytics seamlessly, preserving every insight you need to power smarter marketing and protect revenue.
Critical Shopify Tracking Update
What’s Happening
Shopify is phasing out custom scripts on “Thank You” and “Order Status” pages. This change disrupts how Google Analytics, Meta and other platforms collect conversion data, leaving critical gaps in your reporting.
The Risk for Your Business
Without immediate action, your Shopify Plus store could lose accurate tracking of customer journeys, face severe limitations with Shopify’s built-in core events, and be unable to customize analytics for campaigns and audience targeting. This means less insight, reduced ROI, and missed opportunities.
A Custom Fix for Shopify Plus
At Napkyn, we’ve built a Shopify Plus–focused migration approach to keep your data flowing. We ensure a seamless transition to Shopify’s new Google & YouTube App, layer in advanced configurations to overcome native limitations, and deliver a privacy-compliant, reliable analytics foundation for smarter decisions.

Your Questions Answered
What’s changing with Shopify and Google Analytics?
Shopify’s updates to “Thank You” and “Order Status” pages now block custom scripts, meaning your existing Google Analytics tags may no longer fire. This could result in lost conversion tracking and incomplete data for your marketing campaigns.
Do I need to switch to the Google & YouTube App?
Yes. Shopify now requires merchants to use the Google & YouTube App for GA4 integration. However, this app provides only a small set of core events and limited customization options, which may not meet advanced tracking needs.
Can Napkyn help with custom tracking beyond Shopify’s built-in events?
Absolutely. We design tailored solutions that enable full event tracking—purchases, add-to-cart actions, product views, and more—ensuring your data remains accurate and actionable.
What happens if I don’t migrate before the deadline?
Your ability to track conversions and customer behavior on Shopify Plus will be severely compromised, impacting campaign performance and revenue forecasting.
How is Napkyn’s solution different?
Unlike Shopify’s native app, our migration includes advanced configurations and QA testing to restore lost functionality and maintain compliance with privacy requirements.
Can Napkyn support server-side tagging or advanced GTM configurations for Shopify?
Yes. For Shopify Plus merchants needing more robust tracking, Napkyn can implement server-side tagging with Google Tag Manager. This approach helps bypass Shopify’s client-side restrictions, supports custom event tracking, and enhances data accuracy while improving site performance and compliance.
