How to Remove Previous CJ Affiliate Tracking

Remove Previous Tracking

You've just set up your CJ server-side tracking (yay!), and now you're wondering how to disable your previous client-side tracking. The good news is: you don't need to!

CJ recommends running your client-side CJ tracking (that they likely helped you set up previously) in parallel with your server-side tracking.

Won't That Mean I'll Have Duplicate Tracking

CJ Affiliate will deduplicate your tracking so long as they both send the Order ID (e.g. 40012343453) as the Transaction Identifier. Your CJ server-side integration through Elevar is automatically set up to always send Order ID (unless you changed this in the Transaction Identifier step).

To verify that your client-side tracking also sends Order ID, reach out to CJ's Support Team to confirm.

Here are a couple of common CJ implementation methods you can check:

  1. If using the Shopify CJ app, you'll have a script in Settings --> Checkout in the Order Status Page box. If you see "orderId" set to "{{checkout.order_id}}", you're all set.

  1. Alternatively, if you have CJ running in GTM, you may have a "CJ Affiliate - Universal Tag" passing "Order Data". Here, you'll want "Order ID" set to "{{dlv - Thank You Page - Order ID}}".
