Shopify to The Trade Desk

Forward every Shopify event to The Trade Desk server-side, resolved to a person against a 750M+ device graph — with restored click IDs, deduplicated conversions and delivery you can audit.

What changes

What changes when Shopify feeds The Trade Desk.

Server-side delivery

Events reach The Trade Desk 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 The Trade Desk 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.

What actually moves

What Shopify carries, and what The Trade Desk needs.

Shopify and The Trade Desk describe a customer with different vocabularies. This is the mapping Upstack applies on the way through — the left column is what Shopify can put on an event, the right is what The Trade Desk can actually use.

Shopify sends

order_id
Shopify order and checkout token
email / phone
customer contact from checkout
customer_id
Shopify customer record, if they have one
line_items
products, variants and quantities
total / subtotal / discount
order economics
customer_type
new or returning, resolved before send

The Trade Desk receives

hashed email (UID2)
the identity framework TTD bids against
ttd_click_id
credit the impression or click
event_id
dedupe across the pixel and server feed
value / currency
train bidding on revenue
external_id
stable person across sessions

Delivery you can audit

How you know it is working.

Ad platforms accept almost anything and tell you very little. These controls exist so you can see what was sent and what was accepted, rather than inferring it from a reporting gap.

  • Per-event inspection

    Every conversion is inspectable from the moment it fires to the moment the platform confirms it.
  • Deduplication

    Browser and server copies of the same purchase collapse on event ID, so nothing is counted twice.
  • Bot and fraud filtering

    Automated traffic never reaches the model, because what you keep out of the training set matters as much as what goes in.

Where to check in The Trade Desk

The Trade DeskDataConversions. The conversion feed reports match rates, which is the number worth watching after a server-side switch.
