Installing the Kickbite Tracking Pixel

How to set up Kickbite tracking on your website — Shopify custom pixel or non-Shopify two-tag setup via Google Tag Manager.

Written by Juan Garzon

Overview

The Kickbite tracking pixel collects website visitor data — page views, referrer information, UTM parameters, and conversion events. This data feeds Kickbite's attribution model. The setup differs depending on your shop system.


Shopify Stores: Custom Pixel

Shopify stores use a single Custom Pixel that handles both page tracking and conversion events. Your Customer Success Manager will provide the pixel code and guide you through installation.

Note for multi-market Shopify stores: If your store uses different checkout domains for different markets, additional configuration may be needed. Your CS Manager will help set this up.


Non-Shopify Stores: Two Tags

Non-Shopify stores (Magento, Shopware, WooCommerce, etc.) require two separate tracking tags:

Tag #1 — All Pages

This tag goes on every page of your website, typically via Google Tag Manager (GTM) or directly in your source code. It collects page views, referrer data, and UTM parameters.

Tag #2 — Thank-You Page Only

This tag goes only on your order confirmation page (thank-you page). It captures conversion events and extracts order data from your datalayer.


Consent Requirements

Both tags must fire only after user consent is given. This is important for:

  • Legal compliance (GDPR / TTDSG)

  • Fair comparison with other tracking tools (GA4, etc.) — if Kickbite fires before consent but GA4 fires after, the data won't be comparable

You also need to add a Kickbite privacy policy snippet to your website's privacy policy. Your CS Manager will provide the text.


Verifying Your Setup

After installing the tracking pixel, the Kickbite team will verify that:

  1. Page views are being captured correctly

  2. Conversion events fire on the thank-you page

  3. Consent timing is correct

Once verified, click "Mark as Finished" in the wizard to complete this step.
