Follow this step by step guide to launching your Voluum API integration!

Prerequisites

Before you can enable your Voluum API Destination, you will need to:

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

🚧

Update Voluum links to pass the Click ID with a "vlmcid" query parameter.

Our integration looks for a click ID value of "vlmcid" and not "cid". Please update your links to pass vlmcid={clickid} so that our server events can send Voluum the associated click ID with a purchase event.

This step allows you to customize what transaction identifier to send with your Voluum purchase events. Order Number is the most commonly used transaction identifier for Voluum & we've selected this for you by default.

Step 6: Block Transactions

This step allows you to control exactly what purchase events are sent to Voluum's API. You can block orders based on Source Channel Names, Order Tags or Order Gateways. Best practice is the default that will block exchange orders.

Two common scenarios where you may want to block orders are: recurring orders & offline orders. Learn how to block these orders in this guide.
