Shopify doesnt support server based pixels, only cookie based pixels (C2S). Here's more info on how to set up tracking: https://help.shopify.com/themes/cust...racking-pixels

Implementing a postback would take some custom development as shopify doesn't support it.

But you can use the image pixel or tracking script from Voluum to track conversions, just place your code form Voluum into the additional scripts box.

Yes, i already figured out how to use the cookie based pixel, but i would rather have S2S postback (more reliable).


But, as i'm getting some PM about this, here's how to do it with the Voluum image pixel:

1. You need to use the ?ref URL parameter for your clickid in your offer url on Voluum like this:
?ref={clickid}

2. On shopify -> Settings > Checkout
Use this code, it will only display the image pixel once:

Code:
{% if first_time_accessed %}
<img src="http://customvoluumtrackingdomain.com/conversion.gif?cid={{ landing_site_ref }}&payout={{ total_price | money_without_currency }}&txid={{ order_number }}" width="1" height="1"/>
{% endif %}
<!-- Scripts you want to run on every visit -->
