PostHog integrationWhat changes
What changes when Shopify feeds PostHog.
Server-side delivery
Events reach PostHog through its server API, not the browser — so ad blockers, ITP and consent banners don’t cost you conversions.
Identity-resolved events
Every event sent to PostHog carries a resolved customer, matched against a 750M+ device graph.
100% of conversions, server-side
Orders are captured from Shopify’s servers, so nothing is lost to ad blockers, ITP or a failed browser call.
Recognise returning customers
Shopify customer IDs, emails and phones are matched against the graph, so repeat buyers are identified across devices.
