Overview

An Access Token is a security step that many softwares take to prevent spam or non-authorized requests from being processed.

When sending data to Elevar's servers via non-shopify pages, you'll need to have a unique Access Token. When using Elevar's server-side tracking on Shopify pages, we have security policies in place to prevent this. But when sending data to Elevar's servers via a non-Shopify page (e.g. a headless website), we use an Access Token to prevent this.

What is my Access Token?

When you set up Elevar's Non-Shopify Sub Domain Attribution Tracking Source, you will be given a unique script. In this unique script, is your access token.

Simply adding this script into the header of all your non-shopify subdomain pages allows all the standard Elevar data layer events you built to have the noted access token.

How to Generate a New Elevar Access Token

Access Non-Shopify Subdomains:

• Begin on your Elevar homepage and use the left-hand manu to click on the "My Tracking" tab.

Warning: When you generate a new Access Token, the old Access Token will stop working after 15 minutes. Please update your access token immediately.
