Overview

In order to set up the Attribution Tracking with the Elevar events API, you'll need to identify your main overarching domain.

Subdomains

If your website pages use subdomains, you could have URLs that look like this:

• blog.website.com
• shop.website.com
• go.website.com
• checkout.website.com

In this scenario, your main overarching domain is "website.com".

Subdirectories

If your website pages use subdirectories, you could have URLs that look like this:

• website.com/shop
• website.com/blog

In this scenario, your main overarching domain is "website.com".

Cross Domain/Different Domains

If your website pages use different domains, you could have URLs that look like this:

• website.com
• shopwebsite.com
• website-checkout.com

In this scenario, the Elevar Attribution Tracking would not work. You'll need to carry over any attribution from one domain to another for effective attribution tracking.

🚧

Never include a "http" in the Main Overarching Domain

The main overarching domain should always follow the format of "website.com". It should never include an http or https. Adding an http or https can cause attribution data loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use my Headless Development URL?

• The short answer is, ideally you shouldn't.
• Let's say you're building a headless website and your headless url is "website-2348923a23vf3.o2.myshopify.dev". If you have a public domain (a.k.a. the URL that your shoppers will use like "website.com") you should use that public domain as the main overarching domain.
• If you don't have a public domain yet and are testing out Elevar on a development store, you can use your Headless URL as the Main Overarching Domain. In my example above, the main overarching domain would be "myshopify.dev". Just be sure to change it back after you do get a public domain.
