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.
