How it flows
How a Shopify event reaches MNTN. Captured on the server, resolved to a person, then sent.
01 Capture
Captured from Shopify
One Upstack app setup that captures Shopify storefront and checkout events with the Upstack Pixel, records every order directly from Shopify, and forwards both to every tool you spend on.

02 Understand
Resolved to one person before it leaves
Every Shopify event is matched against a 750M+ device graph, so a phone browse and a desktop checkout resolve to one customer rather than two strangers.

Delivered to MNTN
Forward resolved conversions to MNTN so connected-TV spend is judged against orders rather than against household reach.

The catch
Shopify brands almost always have a pixel already firing.
Sending server events alongside it without a shared event ID is how a single purchase becomes two conversions and your reported ROAS quietly doubles. Upstack records one Purchase per Shopify order ID, so the pixel's copy and Shopify's own copy of an order count once.

What changes
What changes when Shopify feeds MNTN. Two gains on the MNTN side, two on the Shopify side.
MNTN
Server-side delivery
Events reach MNTN through its server API rather than the browser, so ad blockers and ITP don’t cost you conversions.
MNTN
Identity-resolved events
Events sent to MNTN carry the resolved customer whenever Upstack can identify one, matched against a 750M+ device graph.
Shopify
Orders recorded from Shopify itself
Purchases also reach Upstack directly from Shopify, about 10 minutes after the order, so an order still counts when an ad blocker stopped the pixel or the shopper closed the page.
Shopify
Recognize returning customers
Shopify customer IDs, emails and phones are matched against the graph, so repeat buyers are identified across devices.

FAQ
Questions about Shopify and MNTN.
How do I check that Shopify events are reaching MNTN?
Open MNTN › Performance › Conversions. Matched conversions report the household attribution window they fell inside.
Will a purchase be counted twice?
No. Browser and server copies of the same purchase collapse on event ID, so nothing is counted twice.
Do I need a developer to connect Shopify to MNTN?
No. Shopify connects as an app install with no theme edits, and most brands are live in under 20 minutes. Headless storefronts add the Upstack Pixel script instead of the theme app extension.
