Prerequisites

Install Elevar's Data Layer & Shopify Source on your store. Follow our guide on How to Implement the Shopify Source.

Step 1: Navigate to the Snapchat Server-Side Install Wizard in your Elevar App

In your Elevar App, navigate to My Tracking > Select Add Destination> Find and select Snapchat.

You'll be taken to an Overview Page > select Get Started

When you are ready select Save & Continue to continue to the next step.

If you are a subscription business then you have the option to also enable the "Subscription purchase" event. Selecting this option will trigger a "Subscribe" event to fire anytime your customers purchase a subscription (e.g. Subscription First Order). If you also sell one-time products via native Shopify checkout then this event can help you distinguish between first-time and subscription purchases inside of Snapchat.
