Integration Logic

  • Content-to-Cart Analytics

    This integration works by programmatically extracting two key datasets: 1) Order and traffic source data from Shopify, including landing page URLs and UTM parameters, and 2) Top performing content data from Ahrefs, including URL-specific traffic metrics and keywords. A custom script or middleware then joins these datasets on the content URL, allowing you to attribute specific Shopify orders and revenue back to the content pieces that originated the customer journey.
