OmniTrack Plus Installation Guide

Here's a Facebook Pixel setup guide for Omnitrackplus subscribers:

Step 1: Install the Omnitrack App



First, go to the Shopify App Store, search for Omnitrack, or click this link to find the Omnitrack app and install it.



Step 2:Choose Your Plan



Once the app installation is complete, select the appropriate plan based on your specific needs. In the Omnitrack Plus plans, there are different tiers depending on your order volume. Choose the plan that best suits your store's sales volume.





Step 3: Initial Setup




After subscribing to the app, you will be guided through a series of initial setup steps within the app. This includes providing contact information, enabling app extensions, and manually adding additional scripts. Below are screenshots of the relevant pages:

1)Leave Contact Information:


You will need to provide the following contact information: last name, first name, contact email, and position information. Some of this information is automatically retrieved from your Shopify account, and you can further edit it.




2)Enable App Extension:


Click the "Go to Shopify" button below, which will take you to the App Extension activation page. Once on this page, click the 'Save' button in the upper right corner to complete the activation. Then return to this page, and we will automatically check the status of your App Extension activation. If it has been successfully activated, the 'Next' button will be highlighted, and you can proceed to the next step.

3) Manually copy & paste additional scripts:


First, copy the code provided on the page, then click the "Go to Shopify" button below. This will take you to Shopify's checkout settings page. On that page, paste the code into the 'additional script' text box, then click the 'Save' button in the upper right corner to save your changes. After completing this step, return to the app page, check the confirmation box, and click 'Done' to successfully complete this step.






Step 4: Choose Your Target Action




After the initial setup is complete, you will be taken to a page with three options. Choose the target action that suits your needs. In this case, we will select the first option to install the Pixel.




Step 5: Add Pixel




In this step, you will see multiple target options. Taking Facebook as an example, click the "Add Pixel" button.

If you need to add other target channels, select the logo of the corresponding channel below and click to add it. If your desired target channel is not listed, please contact us for integration.




Step 6: Choose Pixel Adding Method




After clicking the "Add Pixel" button, you will enter the Pixel adding process. Before starting the setup, you need to choose how to add the Pixel, either by authorizing through Facebook or manually. This guide will use the manual addition ("Add manually") as an example.



Step 7: Event Settings



In this step, choose "Use Best Practices" (recommended) or "Manually Customize Events" based on your requirements. If you need to customize events, select the events to send to Facebook and how they should be sent (browser events/server events).






Step 8: Content Type Setup




Most merchants should select "Product Group" as the content type and send "Product ID" as the product identifier to Facebook. If your catalog primarily uses "Variant ID" as the main identifier, select "Product" as the content type and specify "Variant ID" as the product identifier in the next step.




Step 9: Product Identifier Setup




Configure your product identifier here, choosing the appropriate option to ensure Facebook can correctly identify your products.

Testing and Next Steps



After successfully setting up your Facebook Pixel, it's recommended to perform event testing to ensure that all events on your store are correctly triggered. You can find testing methods in this related guide.




After completing the above steps, your Facebook Pixel should have been successfully set up, and you can begin tracking and optimizing your ad campaigns.

Additional Steps and Necessary Checks




1. Check for Duplicate Tracking


If you had previously installed other Pixel plugins, you need to remove that Pixel from the respective plugin to avoid duplicate event triggering, which can affect data accuracy. Click here to learn how to remove duplicate Pixel tracking.



In the APP, click the Integrations menu at the top right to enter the settings page. You need to authorize your Facebook account and link your ad account. Once authorization is complete, you will have access to more comprehensive and timely conversion data from the FB Ads Report, allowing you to better adjust your ad strategies.

Note: Be sure to associate all advertising accounts used for the current site's ad campaigns to prevent data loss and inaccuracies.






3.Use URL Builder to Set Up Ad/Other Channel Tracking
